Definitions:

Cost-output Elasticity

Cost-output elasticity measures the responsiveness of production costs to changes in the quantity of output produced, indicating how cost-efficiently a firm can adapt to changes in production volume.

Long-run Cost Function

Refers to a firm's costs of production when all inputs, including capital, are variable and can be adjusted.

Cost-output Elasticity

A measure of how responsive the total cost of production is to a change in the quantity produced.

Long-run Cost Function

A representation of the relationship between output and the cost of production when all inputs, including capital, can be varied.
