Economies of diversification: A generalization and decomposition of economies of scope

International Journal of Production Economics, 2010
Abstract The paper investigates the benefits of diversification for a multi-product firm. It examines economies of diversification, reflecting the cost reduction associated with producing outputs in an integrated firm (compared to specialized firms). The analysis applies under complete specialization as well as partial specialization (when firms are ...

A Note on Multiproduct Economies of Scale and Economies of Scope

1980
Let S denote a measure of (local) economies of scale for a multiproduct firm. Define "strong" economies of scope as the savings in costs arising from the joint production of all products rather than producing each product separately. Define "incremental" economies of scope as the savings in costs arising from the joint production of all products rather

Regional Science and Urban Economics, 1985
Abstract This paper develops a model in which two competing firms on a bounded line each sell two products. Production costs for each firm are lower the closer are its two products. It is shown that there may be anywhere from zero to three possible equilibrium configurations.
