Production. Lime is made from indigenous limestone or chalk rock, one of the most abundant materials in the Earth's crust. Limestone and chalk are both sedimentary rocks and are chemically known as calcium carbonate. When crushed or ground, they are widely used as aggregates and building products. As a raw material, calcium carbonate can …

The Aggregate Production Function is the function that shows a technical relationship between aggregate inputs and aggregate outputs. It is a mathematical model that economists use to illustrate the change in productivity because of the changes in factors of production. It helps an economy to produce its potential level of output.
