Abstract
In this book we accept the view that production processes can be described in a meaningful way by a simple mathematical production relationships. We will call production functions “technologies” when the term can be used unambiguously. The technologies encountered here will be of the one output variety most common in the literature. Many will also contain two inputs—presumably capital and labor—as is most common, but we do not want to constrain ourselves to only two factor cases.
