   Isoquant
   In economics, an `isoquant` (derived from quantity and the Greek word iso [meaning equal]) is a contour line drawn through the set of points at which the same quantity of output is produced while changing the quantities of two or more inputs. While an indifference curve helps to answer the utility-maximizing problem of consumers, the isoquant deals with the cost-minimization problem of producers. Isoquants are typically drawn on capital-labor gra...

   isoquant
   Given a production function, an isoquant is 'the locus of input combinations that yield the same output level.' (Chiang, p. 360) There is an isoquant set for each possible output level. Mathematically the isoquant is a level curve of the production function. Examples and discussion is at Martin Osborne's web page: http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~osbo...
