4. Let the following Cobb Douglas production function with
constant returns to scale: π = πΉ(πΎ, πΏ) = πΎ πΌπΏ 1βπΌ , where π defines
output, πΎ capital, πΏ labour, and πΌ β (0,1). Prove that the
(partial) elasticity of output with respect to capital is equal to
πΌ and that the (partial) elasticity of output with respect to
labour is equal to 1 β πΌ.
