Isoquant

Japanese: 等量曲線 - とうりょうきょくせん(英語表記)isoquant
Isoquant
A curve that shows the possibility of technological substitution between two types of inputs to produce a certain output among the technologies possessed by a certain company or economy. It is also called an isoquant or isooutput curve. For example, there are various combinations of labor and the amount of agricultural machinery required to produce 100 tons of wheat, even if other inputs (land, fertilizer, etc.) are held constant. The trajectory of these combinations is an isoquant, and the shape of the isoquant changes if the production volume or the amount of other inputs changes.

ある企業または経済のもっている技術のうち,一定の生産物を産出するための2種類の投入物間の技術的代替の可能性を表した曲線。等生産量曲線,等産出量曲線とも呼ばれる。たとえば,100tの小麦を作るのに必要な労働力と農業機械数には,他の投入物(土地,肥料等)を一定としても,さまざまな組合せが考えられる。これらの組合せの軌跡が等量曲線であり,生産量が変化したり,他の投入物の投入量が変化すれば,等量曲線の形状も変化する。
