question 9

Multiple Choice

Which of the following conclusions can we make about vertical integration with regards to asset specificity?

• A)If asset specificity is significant enough, vertical integration will be more profitable than arm's-length market purchases, even when production of the input is characterized by strong scale economies or when the firm's product market scale is small.
• B)A firm gains more from vertical integration when outside market specialists are better able to take advantage of economies of scale and scope
• C)A firm with a larger share of the product market will benefit more from vertical integration than a firm with a smaller share of the product market
• D)The more a firm produces, the greater its input and this ultimately decreases the likelihood that in-house production can take as much advantage of economies of scale and scope as an outside market specialist
• E)If a firm is considering whether to make or buy an input requiring significant up-front setup costs, and there is a large market outside the firm for the input, then the firm should buy the input from outside market specialists
