Marginal Productivity Theory
|
|
|
- The marginal productivity theory.
- Marginal productivity theory states that the demand for a resource or factor of production is based on the marginal (physical) product of the resource input and the marginal revenue of the output produced.
- A definition...again:
- Factor demand depends on the quantity output an input can produce and the value of that output.
- In particular, factor demand depends on two marginals:
- The productivity of the factor.
- The revenue generated from production.

ASSUMPTIONS, CLASSICAL ECONOMICS Classical economics, especially as directed toward macroeconomics, relies on three key assumptions--flexible prices, Say's law, and saving-investment equality. Flexible prices ensure that markets adjust to equilibrium and eliminate shortages and surpluses. Say's law states that supply creates its own demand and means that enough income is generated by production to purchase the resulting production. The saving-investment equality ensures that any income leaked from consumption into saving is replaced by an equal amount of investment. Although of questionable realism, these three assumptions imply that the economy would operate at full employment.
