The Cobb–Douglas Production Function
users.wfu.eduThe Cobb–Douglas Production Function 1 Introduction In general, a productionfunctionis a specification of how the quantity of output behaves as a func-tion of the inputs used in production. This concept can be applied at the level of individual firms, industries, or entire economies. Since we’re doing macroeconomics we will be considering ...
The Labour Share in G20 Economies - OECD
www.oecd.orgPaul Douglas made a similar finding regarding the labour share in the United States, and developed, together with the mathematician Charles Cobb, the famous Cobb–Douglas production function, which simplifies economic modelling by assuming that the functional income distribution between labour and
The Cobb–Douglas Production Function
users.wfu.eduThe Aterm represents Total Factor Produc-tivity (TFP for short); you can think of this as a “quality” factor—as opposed to K and N which are just quantitative. The value of A reflects the state of technology as well as the skill and education level of the workforce. All being well, we’d expect Ato be gradually increasing over time.

ibs.colorado.edu2. Suppose a consumer’s preferences for two goods can be represented by the Cobb-Douglas utility function U(x, y) = A x α y β, where A, α, and β are positive constants. a. What is MRS x, y? We begin by calculating the marginal utilities with respect to x and y: ( ) αAxα yβ x U x y MU x 1, = − ∂ ∂ = ( ) 1, = − ∂ ∂ = βAxα ...

www.ssc.wisc.edu{ Note: These types of preferences are not \well behaved" like Cobb Douglas pref-erences are, so we use a di erent second secret of happiness for these preferences. We can no longer use MRS = p 1 p 2 since the MRS of the indi erence curve is not de ned at the kink. To nd the demand for both milk (x 1) and strawberries (x 2) we solve the ...
