Impact of Consumption Unit’s Scale on Credibility of the Income Indicators in the Czech Republic [PDF]
Statistika: Statistics and Economy Journal, 2017 The comparison of income of a person has to consider the household composition. Additional persons realize economies of scale especially for expenditures related to housing. Therefore, so-called consumption units have been introduced.

External Economies of Scale and Comparative Advantage [PDF]
We investigate the interplay, in international trade, between comparative advantage and increasing returns to scale that are external to the firm. We focus especially on “advantage reversals,” where the country with a comparative-cost disadvantage in ...

Interaction of Ladle Slag With Varying SiO2 Content and Recyclate‐Based MgO–C Refractories
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Ladle slags (CaO/Al2O3 = 1) with 1–20 wt% SiO2 were investigated in contact with industrial MgO–C refractories fabricated from fresh magnesia and 50 wt% recyclate. The sessile drop method at 1600°C reveals intensive gas formation, delayed slag infiltration in recyclate‐based samples, and, under high‐SiO2 slag, formation of a dense MgAl2O4‐rich ...

New evidence on returns to scale and product mix among U.S. commercial banks [PDF]
Numerous studies have found that banks exhaust scale economies at low levels of output, but most are based on the estimation of parametric cost functions which misrepresent bank cost.
