Thank you very much Rodrigo! I've read the pages in the test you recommended (well, it's high time...) The climbing analogy made the concept easier to understand. I know this forum relates to Game Theory more but I certainly hope [View full text and thread]

In words, this means: (1) An additional unit of K makes the MPL vary. Compute the amount of this variation. (2) An additional unit of L makes the MPK vary. Compute the amount of this variation. (3) Now, it just happens that both [View full text and thread]

Hi, Brandon: Any function with continuous second-order derivatives satisfy this property: their cross second-order derivatives are equal. Such functions may be called "smooth functions". The Cobb-Douglas production function is one of [View full text and thread]

Hi! I came across this portion under the chapter of "Production function" which reads, "An increase in labour input has the same impact on the marginal & average products of capital as does an increase in capital inputs on the [View full text and thread]
