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