Resumen

Desde una perspectiva económica, los problemas asociados con la producción requieren un modelo para estimarla. La forma más habitual de hacer estas estimaciones ha sido tradicionalmente a través de la función de producción Cobb-Douglas, que proviene del ajuste por mínimos cuadrados. Sin embargo, varios autores han propuesto formas alternativas de calcular la producción basándose en la relación entre los problemas económicos y los problemas termodinámicos. Nuestro artículo muestra una forma de calcular la función de producción a través de la entropía, la cual considera explícitamente las contribuciones del trabajo y el capital en la entropía de la función de producción. De esta manera, aplicamos el modelo a los datos presentados en el estudio de Cobb-Douglas sobre la producción del sector manufacturero en Estados Unidos. Los resultados describen los datos de producción en un grado adecuado. Además, indican la necesidad de estimar la constante de Boltzmann en el modelo económico y presentan una propuesta para obtener su valor
