High-Resolution Computer Graphics: A Research and Educational Tool in Production Economics

This paper investigates some applications of high-resolution, three­ dimensional PC-based computer graphics to research and education in agricultural production economics. Examples illustrate issues in the identification of stages of production for the multifactor case; special cases in which second-order conditions for extrema are violated; neoclassical cost functions in two-product space; and CES-type functions in two-product space
