I am trying to Solve a model using a ces production function but when I ask to solve the first order conditions I just keep getting back what I typed. In[36] Solve[-i - q + p s^(-1 + a) (1 + s^a)^(-1 + 1/a) - t == 0, s] Out[36] Solve[-i - q + p s^(-1 + a) (1 + s^a)^(-1 + 1/a) - t == 0, s] any help would be great
