Constant Returns to Scale: Can the Neoclassical Economy Exist? [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2013
Constant returns to scale (CRS) is one of the corner-stones of the competitive general equilibrium paradigm of neoclassical economics. This note argues that the equilibrium solutions of this paradigm are not compatible with CRS. CRS implies that all producers (whatever their scale of production) can produce goods at the same unit costs: and this makes ...

Factor Endowments and Trade with Increasing Returns Versus Constant Returns to Scale [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
A general equilibrium model of trade with increasing returns to scale is developed for the purpose of analyzing how the results of factor-proportions trade theory are affected by the existence of scale economies. Comparative statistics effects with scale economies are derived as explicit funstions of standard constant returns mappings such as the ...

Cost Efficiency Evaluation Based on a Data Envelopment Analysis Approach by Considering Undesirable Outputs on the Basis of the Semi-Disposability Assumption

open access: yesMathematical and Computational Applications, 2020
It is considerably important to calculate the cost efficiency in data envelopment analysis for the efficiency evaluation of decision-making units. The present paper develops the classical cost efficiency model in which all the input prices are constant ...

The Dilemma of Factor Allocation and Wage Difference under the Constant Region-Wide Returns to Scale

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2021
In the model setting of multiregional macroeconomic research, the constant return on scale of all production functions and the free flow of all production factors cannot be combined.

Evidence for localization and urbanization economies in urban scaling [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2020
We study the scaling of (i) numbers of workers and aggregate incomes by occupational categories against city size, and (ii) total incomes against numbers of workers in different occupations, across the functional metropolitan areas of Australia and the ...

Investigating the Sustainability of Return to Scale Classification in a Two-Stage Network Based on DEA Models

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2022
Purpose. The purpose of this study is to sensitivity analysis analyze the returns to scale in two-stage network based on DEA models. The main focus of the firms has always been to obtain the maximum output with the least available resources, which points

Two-stage Production Systems under Variable Returns to Scale Technology: A DEA Approach [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Optimization in Industrial Engineering, 2010
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric approach for performance analysis of decision making units (DMUs) which uses a set of inputs to produce a set of outputs without the need to consider internal operations of each unit.
