A production function has "constant" returns to scale if increasing all inputs by some proportion results in output increasing by that same proportion.
en.wikipedia.org
With varying returns to scale, however, it may not be entirely linear in either case.
en.wikipedia.org
Under the assumption of constant returns to scale, it is equal to the proportion of national income received in profits.
en.wikipedia.org
If the production function contains only one input, then the output elasticity is also an indicator of the degree of returns to scale.
en.wikipedia.org
It is important to note that these increasing returns to scale are a major contributing factor to the growth of cities.
