The production set is Y = {(y‚ −x) : y ≤ x2 } which is certainly not convex‚ but the input re√ quirement set is V (y) = {x : x ≥ y} which is a convex set. 1.2 It doesn’t change. 1.3 1 = a and 2 = b. 1.4 Let y(t) = f(tx). Then dy = dt so that 1 dy 1 = y dt f(x) 1.5 Substitute txi for i = 1‚ 2 to get f(tx1 ‚ tx2 ) = [(tx1 )ρ
