| What are returns to scale | The relationship between increasing the quantity of a firms input ad the proportional change in output |
| What is increasing returns to scale | Where an increase in the quantity of a firm inputs leads to a proportionally greater change in output |
| What are constant returns to scale | Where an increase in the quantity of a firms inputs leads to a proportionally identical change in output |
| Decreasing returns to scale | Where an increase in the quantity of a firms input leads to a proportionally lower change in output |
