Degree One Homogeneity

Definition

Degree One Homogeneity describes a property in mathematical or economic models where scaling all inputs by a certain factor results in the output scaling by the exact same factor. This concept implies a linear relationship between inputs and outputs, indicating proportional returns to scale. In the context of digital economics, it suggests that increasing resources or effort by a given percentage yields a corresponding percentage increase in results. This characteristic simplifies the analysis of system behavior.
