Is There Excess Capacity Really?

Tamara TODOROVA
2015 Theoretical and Practical Research in Economic Fields  
We see monopolistic competition as the true type of competition in the presence of transaction costs where perfect competition is a hypothetical and ideal benchmark which cannot exist under positive transaction  ...  Excess capacity is viewed as a distinctive feature and an essential inefficiency of monopolistic competition as the large-group case of imperfect competition.  ...  Long-run average costs and the scale factor At the other extreme are productions in which inputs are highly variable, can easily be scaled down or up in response to the needs of the market and there are  ...

A Process Approach to Corporate Coherence

Nicolai J. Foss, Jens Froslev Christensen
1998 Social Science Research Network  
We argue that the literature is confused on the meaning of the notion (and similar notions) in a number of dimensions.  ...  Drawing on insights from market-process theories, we put forward a dynamic understanding of corporate coherence as involving the corporate capacity to strike a favorable balance between the production  ...  And as recent research by Pari Patel and Keith Pavitt (1994) suggests, much of what is measured as unrelated --and therefore interpreted as inefficient --diversification may actually reflect dynamic  ...

Emanuel Ornelas, John L. Turner
2005 Social Science Research Network  
We show that this problem is aggravated when the buyer is located in a different country and that country has a tariff on imports of the intermediate good.  ...  These indirect effects of trade liberalization may help explain why standard trade models fail to generate the observed large responses of trade volumes to small tariff reductions and may help rationalize  ...  [See Horst (1971) for an early analysis of transfer prices in the presence of tariffs and profit taxes.]  ...
