Question:

The Crocs production function is q = 22.7L0.88K0.48, where L is labor and K is capital. Epple, Gordon, andSieg (2010) estimated that the production function for U.S. housing is q = 1.38L0.144M0.856, where L is land and M is an aggregate of all other mobile, nonland factors, which we call materials. Haskel and Sadun (2012) estimated the production function for U.K. supermarkets is q = L0.23K0.10M0.66, where L is labor, K is capital, and M is materials. Are the returns to scale decreasing, constant, or increasing for each of these production functions?
