Product Optimization

The product-product relationship has been a traditional subject of most production economics and farm management courses for the past two decades. Although the traditional examples of product-product optimization have come primarily from the agricultural production sector (e.g., legume-corn rotations and crop-livestock combinations), the concept is useful in analyzing the organization of any multi-product firm-including those firms which produce externalities in the form of environmental degradation.Three concepts or ideas usually are offered as giving rise to a positively sloped or complementary range on the product transformation surface-(l) one production process uses as an input a by-product of another production process, (2) one process uses quantities of a factor that are “surplus” to another, or (3) technical interaction (production function shifts) occurs.

Farm Inputs

It is a well known fact that increased use of purchased farm inputs, such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, seeds and farm machinery, etc., has been associated with a substantial increase in agricultural production and higher farm productivity. Since demand for farm inputs is derived from demand for farm products, therefore, agricultural development in a country or region may be studied either through the changes in farm production and productivity, or through the changes in demand for various farm inputs. The demand for fertilizers, especially, lends itself to this type of analysis, because fertilizer is a highly divisible farm input.

Main Factor

After liberalisation established new relations in Slovak economy, it seemed that problems of agricultural companies differentiation would disappear. But the economic results of our companies confirm the existence of this problem. In the pre-reform period, agricultural production intensity was considered as a main factor of economic differentiation. Transformation of economy after 1990 changed the methodological approach to business performance evaluation. The interest was shifted towards the value evaluation comparing businesses with regard to financial indicators. These methods enable to classify enterprises into bonity classes and to set their sequence according to performance.

Joseph Schumpeter

It is understood that Charles Cobb and Paul Douglas (1928) were not the first to use the production function named after them. Joseph Schumpeter (1954, p. 1042), Carl-Axel Olsson (1971), and Henry Spiegel (1991, p. 816) all note that the production function Y = AKαL1-α had been used by Knut Wicksell (1901, 1906) more than twenty years before Cobb and Douglas published their study. While it is quite possible that Wicksell was the first to use the Cobb-Douglas functional form to study production, he was not the first to apply it to economic analysis in general. Vilfredo Pareto had worked out several implications of a specific version of the Cobb-Douglas utility function as early as 1892. Later, he repeated and extended this analysis in the mathematical appendix to the French translation of his Manual of Political Economy (1909).
