Increasing returns and imperfect competition: (a) The production function for the word processor is Y = X – 100 million if X is larger than 100 million, and zero otherwise. By spending $100 million, you create the first copy, and then $1 must be spent distributing it (say for the DVD it comes on). For each dollar spent over this amount, you can create another copy of the software. (b) The production function is plotted in Figure 6.5. Output is zero whenever X is less than 100 million. Does this production function exhibit increasing returns? Yes. We spend $100 million (plus $1) to get the first copy, but doubling our spending will lead to 100 million copies (plus 2). So there is a huge degree of increasing returns here. Graphically, this can be seen by noting that the production function “curves up” starting from an input of zero, a common characteristic of production functions exhibiting increasing returns. (Constant returns would be a straight line starting…
