Leontief production function

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In economics, the Leontief production function implies that factors of production will be used in fixed proportions, as there is no substitutability between factors. It was named after Wassily Leontief and represents a special case of the Constant elasticity of substitution production function.

For production, the function is of the form q = Min((z1/a),(z2/b))

Where q = quantity produced, z1 and z2 are quantities of input 1 and input 2 respectively and a and b are constants
