From the horror of the last big recession in Ireland in the 1980s‚ Irish people have often tried to escape the tough times by crossing over the Atlantic to a better life in the US. With the recession and an unemployment rate of almost 10 per cent‚ the recent figures of those emigrating is outstanding. In 2010‚ we saw over 65‚300 people leaving the country‚ the same number of those who left in 2009. This shocking figure is just below the number of emigrants in 1989‚ when unemployment in Ireland was

between diminishing marginal returns and the diseconomies of scale? Diminishing returns to scale looks at how production output decreases as one input is increased‚ while other inputs are left constant. Diseconomies of scale occurs when the per unit cost rises as output is increased. Another major difference between diminishing returns and diseconomies of scale is that diminishing returns to scale occur in the short run‚ whereas diseconomies of scale is a problem that a Company can be faced with

diseconomies of scale we see that with economies of scale the cost advantage will rise based on an increased output of goods (dispensing of prescriptions) in which for this example with each prescription dispensed beyond an average cost and output threshold we would expect the per-unit fixed cost to become lower and the marginal profit gains to increase with increased output. Conversely in the concept of diseconomies of scale we would expect to exhibit the effect

minimum efficient scale (MES)The minimum efficient scale (MES) is the output for a business in the long run where the internal economies of scale have been fully exploited. It corresponds to the lowest point on the long run average total cost curve and is also known as the output of long run productive efficiency. The MES is rarely a single output - more likely it is a range of output levels where average cost is minimized where the firm achieves constant returns to scale. The MES will vary from
