The production function of an economy is F(K,L) = 20(K0.5L0.5), where L is labour and K is capital with L = 400 and K = 400.
What type of returns to scale does this production function exhibit?
Here,
Now to check what type of returns of scale this production function exhibit:
We need to check effect of z i.e. production change factor on given production function,
This Y1 = z * Y0 shows that given production function exhibits Constant Returns to Scale.
Now put given value of K = 400 & L = 400 into Y0:
