Invariant returns to scale are assumed, and output increases proportionally when all inputs are multiplied by a certain amount. Even in this case, if the amount of one input (such as labor) is increased while holding all other inputs constant, a more labor-intensive technique will be used, and labor productivity itself will decrease. …
