Abstract
This paper provides an approach to the measurement of the “scale effects” in the allocative profit efficiency. To be specific, we evaluate the improvements of profit that can be accomplished by means of a change in the scale size, once technical efficiency is achieved. New decompositions of the allocative efficiency into a scale effect component and the corresponding residual mix effect component are derived.
► Measurement of the “scale effects” in the allocative profit efficiency. ► Assessment of profit improvements due to a change in the scale size. ► Decomposition of allocative efficiency into a scale and mix effect components.
