From the definition of quasi-rents as the value of output minus the costs of non-factor input, it follows that isoquants will have linear sections an production functions will be nonconcave.

For each element of set T, O [member of] R + n has isoquants. Farrell (1957) discovered such isoquants as efficient boundaries or frontiers in Eq.

For neoclassical economists, capital is just an input into the process of production (represented in their textbooks as one of the axes on a two-dimensional diagram of isoquants or as one of the exogeneous variables in an aggregate production function).

Energy-efficient technologies are represented in this framework by a new set of isoquants where, for any level of capital, a given level of thermal comfort is attained with less energy usage than under the older technology.

This section surveys Rothbard's analysis of isoquants and isocosts in preparation for tracing out factor demand curves, and compares it with his later derivation of the factor demand curve, as well as his remarks on the causal influence of output prices on input prices.

All of the combinations of time and money result in the same performance makeup of what is called a performance isoquant. Figure 1 illustrates this concept with two notional performance isoquants.
