This is often directed toward imported inputs used for domestic production. The goal of this policy is to encourage domestic production, which subsequently increases domestic income and consumption.

Lesson 14: Production | Unit 4: Long-Run Production Page: 22 of 25

Topic: Unit Review <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

In this unit, you should have learned about:
  • The long run as the planning period in which all inputs, especially capital, are variable.
  • How the long-run production is guided by returns to scale rather than the law of diminishing marginal returns.
  • The three types of returns to scale -- increasing, decreasing, and constant.
  • Why increasing returns to scale result from resource specialization, support activities, and the relation between volume and area.
  • Why decreasing returns to scale result from management control and fixed external inputs.
  • How constant returns to scale is the balance between increasing returns to scale and decreasing returns to scale, which gives rise to the minimum efficient scale.
