Talk:Constant elasticity of substitution

message: Deriving s from the formula of r should lead to s = 1/(1+r) --Selach (talk) 09:53, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I think the equation after "The general form of the CES production function is:" should have an 'F' (factor productivity) before the 'Sum' symbol.

thread_title:  Missing 'F' term in CES equation 

message: Really CES is a type of function. So it could be a utility function or a production function. This is a significant limitaton of the article.

thread_title:  Adding utility 

message: There is an attribution error here.  This function is orginally due to Solow.  For some reason few economists, Uzawa (1962) being a notable exception, seem aware that Solow introduced this function in 1956.  It was later, in 1961, that Arrow, Chenery, Minhas and Solow showed this was the only possible form for a two-factor function exhibiting constant elasticity of substitution (makng Cobb-Douglas a special case of this function).  This function should really be called the Solow function, or, my preference, CES (Solow) function.  (I am not Solow, by the way.)  I believe this attribution error should be corrected in the article. <Solow, R., 1956. A contribution to the theory of economic growth.
