![Extension of the Cobb-Douglas Production Function-The Cobb-Douglas production function (Equation) can be shown to be a special case of a larger class of linear homogeneous production functions having the following mathematical form: 11 where is an efficiency parameter that shows the output resulting from given quantities of inputs; is a distribution parameter (0 1) that indicates the division of factor income between capital and labor; is a substitution parameter that is a measure of substitutability of capital for labor (or vice versa) in the production process; and is a scale parameter ( 0) that indicates the type of returns to scale (increasing, constant, or decreasing). Show that when = 1, this function exhibits constant returns to scale. [Hint: Increase capital K and labor L each by a factor of , or K* = ( )K and L* = ( )L, and show that output Q also increases by a factor of , or Q* = ( )(Q).] Equation 11 See R. G.
