Abstract
The previous chapter was concerned with supply over time. The next chapter but one is about market structures. The present chapter contains elements of both; for the topic of economies and size refers to the manner in which the average cost of supplying one unit of output changes over time — and to the implications of those changes for the future of competitive markets.
