La fonction de production Cobb-Douglas exprime qu'il y a substituabilité entre les deux facteurs de production, travail et capital, c'est-à-dire qu'un certain niveau de production peut être obtenu par des combinaisons variées des deux facteurs de production. Elle permet donc a priori de rendre compte des phénomènes de mécanisation et d'automatisation. 2, record 1, French, - fonction%20de%20Cobb%2DDouglas

Propuesta por los dos economistas norteamericanos que le dan nombre, esta función, que se planteó en 1928, trata de explicar la relativa permanencia de los inputs de capital y trabajo en una economía nacional, de modo que el aumento de los distintos factores de producción tiene como consecuencia el crecimiento proporcional de la producción. Y si cada factor es retribuido según su productividad marginal, se verá retribuido globalmente de forma proporcional al valor total de la producción. 2, record 1, Spanish, - funci%C3%B3n%20Cobb%2DDouglas
