How to explain ubiquity of constant elasticity of substitution (CES) production and utility functions without explicitly postulating CES

© Springer International Publishing AG 2017. In many situations, the dependence of the production or utility on the corresponding factors is described by the CES (Constant Elasticity of Substitution) functions. These functions are usually explained by postulating two requirements: an economically re...

Kreinovich V. Dumrongpokaphan T. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017. In many situations, the dependence of the production or utility on the corresponding factors is described by the CES (Constant Elasticity of Substitution) functions. These functions are usually explained by postulating two requirements: an economically reasonable postulate of homogeneity (that the formulas should not change if we change a measuring unit) and a less convincing CSE requirement. In this paper, we show that the CES requirement can be replaced by a more convincing requirement—that the combined effect of all the factors should not depend on the order in which we combine these factors. 2017-09-28T04:11:25Z 2017-09-28T04:11:25Z Book Series 1860949X 2-s2.0-85012893742 10.1007/978-3-319-50742-2_6 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=85012893742&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/40784
