A note on the Cobb-Douglas function
This note observes that the Cobb-Douglas function is uniquely characterized by the property that, if the labour share of cost for a constant-returns-to-scale firm remains constant when the firm minimizes its cost for any given output level, then the firm's production function must be Cobb-Douglas.

The Cobb-Douglas production function revisited
Charles Cobb and Paul Douglas in 1928 used data from the US manufacturing sector for 1899-1922 to introduce what is known today as the Cobb-Douglas production function that has been widely used in economic theory for dec…
A Production Function with Variable Elasticity of Factor Substitution
The main aim of this paper is to prove the existence of a new production function with variable elasticity of factor substitution. This production function is a more general form which includes the Cobb-Douglas productio…
Genetic Bi-objective Optimization Approach to Habitability Score
The search for life outside the Solar System is an endeavour of astronomers all around the world. With hundreds of exoplanets being discovered due to advances in astronomy, there is a need to classify the habitability of…
AstronomyConstructive Identification of Heterogeneous Elasticities in the Cobb-Douglas Production Function
This paper presents the identification of heterogeneous elasticities in the Cobb-Douglas production function. The identification is constructive with closed-form formulas for the elasticity with respect to each input for…
