Which of the following represents a Cobb-Douglas production function? A)Q = a + bL + cK B)Q = a + L^b + K^c C)Q = aL^bK^c D)Q = L + K

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Cobb-Douglas production function is represented by the form Q = AL^bK^c, where Q is the total production (quantity of output), L is the labor input, K is the capital input, A is total factor productivity, and b and c are the output elasticities of labor and capital, respectively. Option C, despite its unconventional notation, closely resembles this form, indicating a multiplicative relationship between labor and capital inputs, each raised to some power, which is characteristic of the Cobb-Douglas function.
