Subadditivity and contestability in the postal sector: Theory and evidence
El Masri, Toufic M. - 2011
Several studies have been conducted to analyze whether a regulation of the postal sector as a monopoly is actually efficient by examining its cost structure. The authors detected significant scale economies only in the delivery function and hence demonstrated a necessity for competition in the...

The aggregate Le Chatelier Samuelson principle with Cournot competition
Koebel, Bertrand M.; Laisney, François - 2010
This paper studies the aggregate substitution and expansion effects triggered by changes in input prices, in a context where firms supply a homogenous commodity and compete in quantities à la Cournot. We derive a sufficient condition for the existence of a Cournot equilibrium and show that this...

The Elasticities of Complementarity and Substitution
Broer, Peter - 2004
This paper argues that the conventional definition of the elasticity of complementarity is not well suited to deal with the case of increasing returns. It proposes a slightly different formula, that uses a distance function formulation instead of a production function. The proposed definition...

Using firm optimization to evaluate and estimate returns to scale
Gorodnichenko, Yuriy - 2008
At the firm level, revenue and costs are well measured but prices and quantities are not. This paper shows that because of these data limitations estimates of returns to scale at the firm level are for the revenue function, not production function. Given this observation, the paper argues that,...

Krivonozhko, Vladimir; Førsund, Finn R. - 2009
Attempts can be found in the DEA literature to identify returns to scale at efficient interior points of the production possibility set on the basis of returns to scale at points of the corresponding reference sets. However, an opposite approach is put forward in this paper, advocating that...
