expansion path
A firm has the production function
q = KL + L
where q is output and K and L are quantities of two inputs.
(a) Derive the
firmâ??s expansion path.
(b) Explain
what the expansion path tells us. For example, what happens to make the firm
move along its expansion path?
(c) Indicate
how you would proceed to derive the conditional factor demands for K and L.
(You do not need to actually derive them.)
(d) Explain
whether or not this firmâ??s production technology is homothetic. Give your
reasoning(s).
