摘要
This paper investigates the empirical relationship between the magnitude of scale economies and trade. Scale economies are directly estimated from a non linear translog production function system. These estimates are then introduced in an original supply-demand export model. The application of this model to four EU countries indicates that exports unambiguously rise with the degree of scale economies. These results support Schmitt and Yu's [Econ. Lett. 74 (2001) 127] theoretical expectations. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
