Euler’s theorem

Economics
  • If f  (x1, …, xn) is homogeneous of degree λ‎ then

    x1fx1++xnfxn=λf(x1,,xn).

    One use of the theorem is to demonstrate that with constant returns to scale and competitive factor markets the total payment to factors equals the revenue of the firm. Assume there are two factors, capital, K, and labour, L. Constant returns to scale implies the production function is homogeneous of degree one so Euler’s theorem gives

    KfK+LfL=f(K,L).

    If the price of output is p, it follows that

    KpfK+LpfK=pf(K,L).

    Competition on the factor market ensures that r=pfK and w=pfL. Hence,

    rK+wL=pf(K,L)

    so total payment to factors equals revenue. This argument has been used as the basis for a theory of distribution.
