The Discovery of the Isoquant (2012)

unapi

The article discusses the history of the economic concept of the isoquant, which refers to a graph of a production function whose inputs are substitutable for each other. It is said that the isoquant has been used both as a geometric model for production and as an illustration of the production function with labor and capital as its only inputs. Other topics include the term's relation to utility theory, the role of the term in production theory, and the use of the concept by economists Ragnar Frisch, John Hicks, and A. L. Bowley.
