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 mapping helps to solve the utility-maximizing problem of consumers, the 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...

In economics, an isoquant is the combinations of inputs that can be used to produce a given level of output; this can be represented as a curve on a graph. The concept is analogous to that of an indifference curve in consumer theory. Given the prices of inputs faced by a firm, by making certain additional assumptions, the firm or entrepreneur will ...
