HOMOGENEOUS OF DEGREE N: A property of an equation the exists if independent variables are increased by a constant value, then the dependent variable is increased by the value raised to the power of n. The value of n can be greater than, less than, or equal to one. This property often surfaces in the analysis of production functions. If n = 1, then a doubling independent variables results in a doubling of the dependent variable and the production function has constant returns to scale. If n > 1, then a doubling independent variables results in more than a doubling of the dependent variable and the production function has increasing returns to scale. If n < 1, then a doubling independent variables results in less than a doubling of the dependent variable and the production function has decreasing returns to scale.

                           FULL EMPLOYMENT, PRODUCTION POSSIBILITIES: Full employment is the condition that exists when all available resources are engaged in the production of goods and services. In other words, all resources that could be used for production are being used. This is indicated in production possibilities analysis by producing a combination of goods that places the economy on the production possibilities curve. Production possibilities, which analyzes the alternative combinations of two goods that an economy can produce with given resources and technology, indicates full employment when production is on the production possibilities curve. The construction of the production possibilities curve embodies this concept of full employment. Full employment is the condition that exists when all available resources are engaged in the production of goods and services. In particular, each point on the production possibilities curve is based on the presumption that all existing resources are used to produce the two goods. In other words, all resources are engaged in production. This means that full employment exists at every point ON the production possibilities curve. To illustrate this, use the mouse arrow to point out full employment as all points, including D and J, that lie ON the curve. However, also note that point L does not fully employ all resources and point M is not attainable with existing resources and technology.

Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time searching for rummage sales hoping to buy either several magazines on fashion design or a package of 3 by 5 index cards, the ones without lines. Be on the lookout for infected paper cuts.
