Minimum Efficient Scale

The smallest quantity of output at which long-run average cost reaches its lowest level, allowing a firm to fully exploit economies of scale.

The cost advantages that enterprises obtain due to their scale of operation, with cost per unit of output generally decreasing with increasing scale.

Diseconomies of Scale

Increases in cost per unit when output is expanded, often due to inefficiencies arising from becoming too large.
