Constant Elasticity of Transformation (CET) is firstly brought forward by Powell and Gruen (1968)[1], which is a new form of production-possibility frontier.

It turned out that CET frontier was algebraically identical with CES (Constant elasticity of substitution) isoquant, apart from different sign determining their concavity[disambiguation needed] (Arrow, Chenery, Minhas, and Solow, 1961[2]).

Given two products,x1 and x2,which are produced by the same resources combined in different proportions.
