Cobb–Douglas Production Functions 1 mathematical tricks • the derivative of αxβ with respect to x is αβxβ−1 • xα xβ = xα+β (for any α and β) • 1 xα = x−α • if m = nB , then n = m1/B 2 the production function A production function y = f (x1 , x2 ) is a Cobb–Douglas production function if it can be written in the form y = Axa xb 1 2 (1) where A, a and b are positive constants. So the partial derivatives of a Cobb–Douglas production function are : M P1 = M P2 = ∂y = aAxa−1
