What if we changed the assumptions about technology? implicit price = market price z2 z1 What would happen if the inputrequirement set looked like this? Any zvalue in this set of points is costminimising z2 z1 z* … or this? There could be multiple solutions. z** ? ? But note that there’s no solution point between z* and z**. z2 z1 z* … or this? ? MRTS21 is undefined exactly at z*. But z* is costminimising point for given Q and all finite values of w1/w2 z2 z1 z* And what happens here? ? Here MRTS21 w1/w2 at the solution. Input 2 is “too expensive” and so isn’t used at all: z2*=0. Let’s look at the formal result from the FOC...
