On Homothetic Scalar Valued Production Functions.

Active / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA010139 |

Abstract:

Seven equivalent statements of homotheticity are given for scalar valued production functions. These 7 statements relate to the functional form, the level sets Lu, the cost function, linearity of expansion paths and the distance function for the correspondence u maps to Lu.
