Partial differentiation and the marginal product
• Partial differentiation: a technique for deriving
the rate of change of a function w/respect to
increase an independence variable while other
independence variables are held constant.
• For example: if the production function Q=f(K,L)
is differentiated with respect to L, K held
constant=> getting rate of change of total
product with respect to L (in other words: MPL). 7/29/2020

Basic rule: all independent variables, other than
the one that the function is being differentiated with
respect, are treated as constant. ( Q/ L) 7/29/2020

Partial differentiation and the marginal product
• Example: For the production function Q=20K0.5L0.5 1. Derive a function for MPL.
2. Show that MPL decreases as one moves along an isoquant by using more L.

• Elasticity: in a market, the quantity demanded,
q, depends on several factors (price: p,
average income: m, price of a
complement/substitute: pc/ps; and the population: n).
• Price elasticity of demand is usually defined as:
• e=(-1)(percentage change in quantity
demanded)/(percentage change in price). 7/29/2020
B03013 – Chapter 5: Partial differentiation 12 7 lOMoAR cPSD| 46578282 7/29/2020
• Ceteris paribus: assume other factors/vars held constant. • 𝑒 = (1) 𝑝 1 ; 𝑞𝑑𝑝 𝑑𝑞
• recognizing that quantity demanded depends on
factors other than price, then • 𝑒 = 1 𝑝 1 = −1 𝑝𝜕𝑞 𝑞𝜕𝑝 𝜕𝑞 𝑞𝜕𝑝

B03013 – Chapter 5: Partial differentiation 13 Further application
• Other measures of elasticity: depending n other variables, for example:
• em=(percentage change in quantity
demanded)/(percentage change in income). ∆𝑞
• 𝑒𝑚 = ∆𝑚𝑞 = 𝑚𝑞 ∆𝑚∆𝑞 = 𝑚𝑞 𝜕𝑚𝜕𝑞 𝑚
• Consumer utility functions: U=U(x1,x2,…,xn)
where x1, x2,…,xn: amount of the different good consumed.
• If we assume two goods A and B are consumed, then U=U(A,B). 7/29/2020
B03013 – Chapter 5: Partial differentiation 14 9 lOMoAR cPSD| 46578282 7/29/2020
=> Marginal utility: rate of change of total utility with
respect to the increase in consumption of one
goods, therefore 𝑀𝑈𝐴 = 𝜕𝑈𝜕𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑀𝑈𝐵 = 𝜕𝑈𝜕𝐵 7/29/2020
B03013 – Chapter 5: Partial differentiation 15 Further application
• 3 important principles of utility theory:
(i). The law of diminishing marginal say: if, ceteris
paribus, the quantity consumed of any one good is
increased, then eventually, its marginal utility will decline.
(ii). A consumer will consume a good up to the point
where its MU=0 if it is a free good, or if a fixed
payment is made regardless of the quantity consumed (water rates).
• (iii). A consumer maximizes satisfaction when
each good is consumed up to the point where
an extra unit spent on one good will derive the
same utility as an extra unit spent on any other good.
• Other applications: Keynesian multiplier, cost and revenue function 7/29/2020

Second order partial derivatives
• Being found by differentiating the first-order
partial derivatives of a function.
• If a function has two independent variables, there
will be four second-order partial derivatives. For a fn y=f(x,z) • (i) 𝜕𝜕𝑥2𝑦2 (ii) 𝜕𝜕𝑧2𝑦2 (iii) 𝜕𝑥𝜕𝑧𝜕2𝑦 (iv) 𝜕𝑧𝜕𝑥𝜕2𝑦
• while (iii) and (iv) are equal
• Example: derive Q=6K+0.3K2L+1.2L2 and interpret their meaning. 7/29/2020

Unconstrained optimization
• If we have two variable fn y=f(x,z) to be at a
maximum or at a minimum, the 1st-order
conditions which must be met are:
• 𝜕𝑦 = 0 and 𝜕𝑦 = 0 𝜕𝑥 𝜕𝑧 12 lOMoAR cPSD| 46578282 7/29/2020
• To be at a max or min, the function must be at
a stationary point with respect to changes in
both variables. The 2nd-order conditions for the
optimization of multivariable functions with a fn y=f(x,z) 7/29/2020
B03013 – Chapter 5: Partial differentiation 19
Unconstrained optimization
• 𝜕𝜕𝑥2𝑦2 < 0 and 𝜕𝜕𝑧2𝑦2<0 for a minimum
• 𝜕2𝑦2 >0 and 𝜕𝜕𝑧2𝑦2>0 for a maximum 𝜕𝑥
• And the other 2nd-order condition:
• 𝜕𝜕𝑥2𝑦2 𝜕𝜕𝑧2𝑦2 > 𝜕𝑥𝜕𝑧𝜕2𝑦 2 Example 1
A firm produces two products which are sold in
two separate markets with the demand schedules p1= 600-0.3q1 p2= 500-0.2q2
Production costs are related and the firm faces the total cost function TC= 16+1.2q1+1.5q2+0.2q1q2 7/29/2020

If the firm wishes to maximize total profits, how
much of each product should it sell? What will the maximum profit level be? 7/29/2020
B03013 – Chapter 5: Partial differentiation 21 Example 2
• A multiplant monopoly operates two plants
whose total cost schedules are • TC1= 8.5 +0.03q 2 2 1 TC2=5.2+0.04q2 • If it
faces the demand schedule p= 60-0.04q
• Where q= q1+q2, how much should it produce
in each plant in order to maximize profit? 7/29/2020

Unconstrained optimization 15 lOMoAR cPSD| 46578282 7/29/2020
• Exercise 1: a firm operates with the production
function: Q=95K0.3L0.2R0.25 and buys the three
inputs K, L and R at prices of $30, $16 and $12
per unit respectively. If it can sell its output at a
fixed price of $4 per unit, what is the maximum profit it can make? 7/29/2020
B03013 – Chapter 5: Partial differentiation 23
Unconstrained optimization
• Exercise 2: A multiplant monopoly has 2 plants with whose total costs: TC 3 1=36+0.003q1 and TC 3
2=45+0.005q2 if its total output is sold in a
market where demand: p=320-0.1q (q=q1+q2),
how much should it produce in each plant to maximize its profit?
Total differentials and total derivatives
• If a non-linear fn y=f(x), the value dy/dx will
alter if x and y alter, it is therefore not possible
to predict the effect of a given increase in x on
y with complete accuracy. • A very small
change ( x) in x => ∆𝑦 = 𝑑𝑦 ∆𝑥 𝑑𝑥
(approximately true). • If we have y=f(x,z)
then ∆𝑦 = 𝑑𝑦 ∆𝑥 + 𝑑𝑦 ∆𝑧 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑧 7/29/2020
B03013 – Chapter 5: Partial differentiation 24 16 lOMoAR cPSD| 46578282 7/29/2020

d𝑦 = 𝜕𝑦 𝑑𝑥 + 𝜕𝑦 𝑑𝑧 𝜕𝑥 𝜕𝑧 17 lOMoAR cPSD| 46578282 7/29/2020 7/29/2020
B03013 – Chapter 5: Partial differentiation 25
Total differentials and total derivatives
• Total derivatives: in a production function the
amount of one input used may affect the
amount of another input that can be used with
it. From the total differential of a function we
can derive a total derivative which can cope with this effect.
• Assume y=f(x, z), and also x=g(z) => any change in z will affect y as:
+ directly via the function f(x, z) and
+ indirectly by changing x via the function g(z),
which in turn will affect y via the function f(x, z).
Total differentials and total derivatives
The total differential of y=f(x, z) is
• 𝑑𝑦 = 𝜕𝑦 𝑑𝑥 + 𝜕𝑦 𝑑𝑧 dividing through dz gives 𝜕𝑥 𝜕𝑧
• 𝑑𝑦 = 𝜕𝑦𝑑𝑥 + 𝜕𝑦 the 1st term: indirect effect of z- 𝑑𝑧 𝜕𝑥𝑑𝑧 𝜕𝑧
via its impact on x; and the 2nd term shows the direct effect. 7/29/2020
