The Basic Framework of Microeconomics Technology Contain: “production (possibilities) set” (PS) and “production function”; Properties of the “PS”; Technical rate of substitution; Returns to scale. 1. Production set Production plan (production vector, or input-output vector): Production set Y: all technological feasible y. Restricted production set Y (z): Some of yi in y are restricted on z . Short-run production set. 1. Production set Input requirement set: All yi in y are negative, let them be –x (then x is positive), and the rest yj to be q . So, and , and the input requirement set is : 1. Production set Transformation function: and satisfied if and only if y is technologically efficient, then 1.Production set Production function: If O = 1,and I = n - 1, then: means: Isoquant: Question1: calculate the PS, RS, TF, PF, Isoquant of Cobb-Douglas technology and Leontief technology. 2.Properties of PS. Y is nonempty: we have something to do. Y is close: Y contain it’s boundary, No free lunch: See the fig. Free disposal: See the fig. 2.Properties of PS. Additive (free entrance) : Convexity: See the fig. Proposition1: if Y is convex, so is V(q). Proposition2: if V(q) is convex, f(x) is quasi-concave. 3.Technical rate of substitution Marginal rate of transformation (MRT) of good j for good i at y and T(y)=0. T(y)=0, we got: See the fig. 3.Technical rate of substitution one production: the marginal rate technical of substitution at x* . As x changes , we got technical rate of substituti
