Scale Elasticity And Returns To Scale

Di: Everly

What Is Returns to Scale Economics?

Recently, Truett and Truett (1990) gave a graphical treatment of the between returns to scale and economies of scale for discrete changes in scale various regions of the production function.

Cost elasticity (also called cost-output elasticity) measures the responsiveness of total cost to changes in output. It is calculated by dividing the percentage change in cost with

Constant Returns to Scale: When our inputs are increased by m, our output increases by exactly m. Decreasing Returns to Scale: When our inputs are increased by m, our

The purpose of this paper is to provide mathematical characterizations of the Data envelopment analysis (DEA)-based scale elasticity that is computable for both frontier and

Increasing (or decreasing, or constant) returns to scale are said to prevail if f(λx) is greater than (or smaller than, or equal to) λf(x). Under some conditions (see, e.g., Fuss and

Estimates of the elasticity of scale for Japanese establishments in three major industries over 1964–88 are presented. Our study spans the high growth era of the 1960s, two

returns to scale (scale elasticity) across firms, which in turn translate into variations in profit shares. In particular, the model predicts that larger firms have lower scale elasticities, higher

Returns to Scale. Scale is a major factor in a firm’s long-run average total cost of production, and firms that operate scale find that their long-run average total costs vary substantially by the

Scale elasticity (SE) and returns to scale (RTS) are important topics in performance analysis, which help managers to make decisions about the expansion or contraction of the

Our theory shows that scale economies arising from fixed costs ver-sus returns to scale differ in their e ect on aggregate productivity. Using UK data, we estimate a long-run increase in fixed

with S0(x, u) = 1 signalling constant returns to scale, and S0(x, u)>‘ signalling either increasing (F£(x, u) = Fq(x, «)) or decreasing (F£(x, u) < Fq(x, «)) returns to scale. The main result now

Two concepts that play a vital role in the theory of production are those of returns to scale (RTS) and scale elasticity (SE). RTS and SE can provide useful information on the

In the data envelopment analysis (DEA) efficiency literature, qualitative characterizations of returns to scale (increasing, constant, or decreasing) are most common. In

Moreover, constant returns of scale appear when the factors of production are perfectly homogeneous, like the Cobb- Douglas production function. 3). When Output increases less

Two important concepts that play a vital role in the theoretical and applied DEA are those of returns to scale (RTS) and scale elasticity (SE). RTS and SE can be used to

In this paper some new results about two important topics in performance analysis, including scale elasticity (SE) and returns to scale (RTS), in the presence of weight restrictions and

5 RETURNS TO SCALE 5.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter deals with returns to scale along with modifications and extensions that are needed to use these concepts in applications. We start

The evaluation of scale elasticity by formula leads to the conventional returns-to-scale characterization of the unit (X o, Y o) into the following three types: increasing, decreasing, and

Returns to Scale studies output variations with respect to input changes, which is presented both qualitatively or returns to scale (RTS), and quantitatively or scale elasticity

The relation by which output increases compared to the increase in inputs is the return to scale. We can measure the elasticity of these returns to scale in the following way: That is, the sum of

In this theoretical framework, the scale elasticity or returns to scale (RTS), respectively, is a measure of the outputs’ reaction with respect to radial change of inputs; it is

In addition to the standard development of these notions, this chapter provides a rigorous exposition of their extensions to the case of nonsmooth production frontiers, partial scale

This research extends the Farrell-based returns to scale methodology into Russell and Additive models in three ways with the focus of relationships between interior points and projected

In neoclassical economic theory, the production function expresses the technological efficient relationship between inputs and one output (see Shephard 1970). In this

This paper examines a monopoly market featured by a general isoelastic demand function. With a quadratic cost function for the monopolist, we explore how the price elasticity of demand

This chapter presents conventional and recent developments of the notions of scale elasticity and returns to scale, in both the neoclassical economics framework and the nonparametric
