Die kostenfunktion einer Cobb-Douglas-produktionsfunktion

Abstract

The Cost Function of a Cobb-Douglas Production Function. — It has been shown that the analytical expression of the cost function derived from a Cobb-Douglas production function is dependent on the degree of homogeneity. If the degree of homogeneity is the unity (constant returns to scale) then the cost function is linear and the marginal costs remain constant merging in the average costs. For increasing (decreasing) marginal returns to scale the cost function is non-linear and increases at a decreasing (increasing) rate; the marginal and average costs decrease (increase). On condition that factor prices are not equal, it follows that a given output can be produced at different costs according to the different values of the two partial elasticities of production m and n. La fonction de cout de la fonction de production Cobb-Douglas. — Nous avons montre que l’expression analytique de la fonction de cout derivee de la fonction Cobb-Douglas depend du degre d’homogeneite. Si le degre d’homogeneite est egal a l’unite (constant returns to scale) la fonction de cout est lineaire et le coui Aiarginal est constant et identique au cout moyen. Pour un degre d’hom Bieite plus grand (plus petit) que l’unite, la fonction de cout est non-lineaire et sa croissance est degressive (progressive); le cout marginal et moyen descendent (montent). De plus nous avons montre que, sous la condition des prix de facteurs de production inegaux, un «output» donne peut Etre produit avec un cout different selon les valeurs differentes des deux elasticites partielles de production m et n. La funcion de costes en una funcion de produccion Cobb-Douglas.— En el presente articulo se demuestra que en el caso de funciones de produccion del tipo Cobb-Douglas la expresion analitica de la funcion de costes, asi como la forma de la curva de costes, depende del grado de homogeneidad de la funcion de produccion. Con un grado de homogeneidad unitario (rendimientos a escala de produccion constantes), la funcion de costes es lineal, es decir, los costes marginales permanecen constantes y son iguales a los costes medios. Si el grado de homogeneidad es superior a la unidad (rendimientos a escala crecientes), los costes totales aumentan, pero de manera decreciente, por lo que los costes marginales y medios descienden. En el caso de que el grado de homogeneidad es positivo, pero inferior a la unidad (rendimientos a escala decrecientes), la funcion de costes totales aumentaria exponencialmente, de manera que los costes marginales y medios incrementarian de forma permanente. Ademas se saca a relucir, que de diferir el nivel de los precios de los factores de produccion, un volumen de produccion dado puede producirse a costes muy diferentes, segUn sea el valor de las elasticidades parciales de la produccion respecto a trabajo y capital. La funzione dei costi di una funzione produttiva Cobb-Douglas. — Nel presente articolo viene monstrato che, in funzioni produttive Cobb-Douglas, l’espressione analitica della funzione dei costi e quindi il decorso della curva dei costi dipendono dal grado di omogeneita della funzione produttiva. Al grado di omogeneita uno (proventi di scala costanti) c’e una funzione dei costi del tutto lineare, cioe i costi marginali rimangono costanti e sono identici ai costi medi. e il grado di omogeneita maggiore di uno (proventi di scala crescenti), allora la funzione dei costi totali sale in misura sempre minore. I costi marginali e medi diminuiscono. Quando, perO, il grado di omogeneita e minore di uno e maggiore di zero (proventi di scala decrescenti), allora la funzione dei costi totali sale in modo esponenziale. Conforme a ciO, salgono anche costantemente i costi marginali e quelli medi. Inoltre si e mostrato che in altezze disuguali di entrambi i prezzi dei fattori, una supposta quantita «output» puO essere prodotta con costi assai diversi secondo quale valore assumano le due parziali elasticita di produzione «m» e «n».
