ECONOMIES OF SCALE: Declining long-run average cost that occurs as a firm increases all inputs and expands its scale of production. This is graphically illustrated by a negatively-sloped long-run average cost curve and typically occurs for relatively small levels of production. Economies of scale are then overwhelmed by diseconomies of scale for relatively large production levels. Together, economies of scale and diseconomies of scale cause the long-run average cost curve to be U-shaped.

|
Page: 17 of 25
|
In this unit, you should have learned something about:- GDP can be measured in two different ways, from the demand or expenditure side and from the supply or resource side of the economy.
- From the expenditure side, the four sectors of the economy buy ALL current economic production and when aggregated give us GDP. This is summarized by the formula: GDP = C + I + G + (X-M).
- The calculation of GDP from the resource side of the economy is based on the fact that the revenue received for the sale of GDP is paid to or claimed by a factor of production.
