21. Economies of Scope This is an extension of the concept of economies of scale to the Multi Product Case If a single firm can jointly produce goods X and Y more economically than any combination of firms could produce them separately, then the production of X and Y is characterized by Economies Of Scope.
23. Economies of scope can be measured by as follows: Where C(Q 1 ,Q 2 ) is the cost of jointly producing goods 1 and 2 in the respective quantities; C(Q 1 ) is is the cost of producing good 1 alone, and similarly for C(Q 2 ). Example: Let C(Q 1 ) = $12 million; C(Q 2 ) = $8 million; and C(Q 1 ,Q 2 ) = $17 million. Thus: Thus joint production of goods 1 and 2 would result in a 15 percent reduction in total costs
24. Economies of scope arise from “Complementaries” in the production or distribution of distinct goods or services
