Abstract

This paper presents estimates of indexes of internal returns to scale and external economies for two-digit manufacturing industries in the four European countries for which the requisite data are available in adequate length: West Germany, France, the U.K., and Belgium. Overall, we find very little evidence of internal increasing returns to scale: of the thirteen two-digit industries, only Rubber and Plastic Products, Agricultural and Industrial Machinery, and Mineral Products exhibit any significant internal increasing returns to scale, and for none of the three is internal increasing returns present in more than two of the four countries. Evidence of external economies, on the other hand, exists for all four countries, the effects of which are especially strong in France and Belgium.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
