A_list_of_production_functions
This is a list of production functions that have been used in the economics literature. Production functions are a key part of modelling national output and national income. For a much more extensive discussion of various types of production functions and their properties, their relationships and origin, see Chambers (1988)[1] and Sickles and Zelenyuk (2019, Chapter 6).[2]
The production functions listed below, and their properties are shown for the case of two factors of production, capital (K), and labor (L), mostly for heuristic purposes. These functions and their properties are easily generalizable to include additional factors of production (like land, natural resources, entrepreneurship, etc.)
