Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 1980Abstract Explaining the scope of activities pursued by the modern business enterprise is clearly central to our understanding of the organization of industry. Yet, as Ronald Coase points out, the received theory of industrial organization is unable to explain why General Motors is not a dominant factor in the coal business or why A ...

Economies of scope and economies of agglomeration
Journal of Urban Economics, 1984Abstract Agglomeration economies are economies external to the firm, and plant, but internal to a particular location.

Natural Language Semantics, 1995
This paper argues in favor of two claims: (a) that Scope Shifting Operations (Quantifier Raising and Quantifier Lowering) are restricted by economy considerations, and (b) that the relevant economy considerations compare syntactic derivations that end up interpretively identical.

Economies of scope and IPO activity in Europe
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012Initial public offering (IPO) activity in Europe has recently come to a near-halt and, similarly to the US, this decline has been more pronounced among small firm IPOs.

On economies of scope in communication
Economic Design, 1996A classic puzzle in the economic theory of the firm concerns the fundamental cause of decreasing returns to scale. If a plant producing product quantityX at costC can be replicated as often as desired, then the quantityrX need never cost more thanrC. Traditionally the firm is imagined to take its identity from a fixednon-replicable input, namely a ‘top
