Industrial Organization and Trade Liberalization: Evidence from Korea
de Melo, Jaime; Roland-Holst, David - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1990
Based on evidence about industrial organization and market structure, this paper develops a CGE model with increasing returns to scale (IRTS) in selected industrial sectors in order to estimate the welfare gains Korea would achieve from abolishing the import restraints (tariffs and equivalent...

Efficiency and Global Scale Characteristics on the “No Free Lunch” Assumption Only
Podinovski, Victor - In: Journal of Productivity Analysis 22 (2004) 3, pp. 227-257
In a production technology, the type of returns to scale (RTS) associated with an efficient decision making unit (DMU) is indicative of the direction of marginal rescaling that the DMU should undertake in order to improve its productivity. In this paper a concept of global returns to scale (GRS)...

Heterogeneous Production Efficiency of Specialized Swine Producers
Tonsor, Glynn T.; Featherstone, Allen M. - Southern Agricultural Economics Association - SAEA - 2006
This research evaluates the efficiency of swine firms differing by specialization type and employed technologies …. Measures of technical, allocative, scale, economic, and overall efficiency are separately and jointly estimated for farrow … appreciable differences in efficiency and causes of efficiency. Results suggest that overall efficiency of farrow-to-finish and …

Is the University Model an Organizational Necessity? Scale and Agglomeration Effects in Science
Brandt, Tasso; Schubert, Torben - Centre for Innovation, Research and Competence in the … - 2012
In this paper we argue that the emergence of the dominant model of university organization, which is characterized by a large agglomeration of (often loosely affiliated) many small research groups, might have an economic explanation that relates to the features of the scientific production...
