Isoquant
open-in-new
<p>An isoquant (derived from <i>quantity</i> and the Greek word <i><i>isos</i></i>, ίσος, meaning "equal"), in <a href="/facts/Microeconomics/mX6Ek69Y">microeconomics</a>, is a <a href="/facts/Contour_line/35Qten5r">contour line</a> drawn through the set of points at which the same quantity of output is produced while changing the quantities of two or more inputs. The x and y axis on an isoquant represent two relevant inputs, which are usually a factor of production such as labour, capital, land, or organisation. An isoquant may also be known as an "iso-product curve", or an "equal product curve". </p>
