On the relation between regular variation and the asymptotic elasticity of substitution

Economics Letters, 2014, vol. 125, issue 1, 29-31

Abstract: This paper characterizes a class of regularly varying production functions with an asymptotic elasticity of substitution equal to one. In particular, it is shown that these functions asymptotically approximate the Cobb–Douglas form. The results generalize and unify existing results in the literature.
