| Descripción: | This empirical research examined scale economies of academic research libraries that belong to the Association of Research Libraries and developed a total cost function for estimating economies of scale. The author argues that libraries in general, and academic research libraries in particular, are information provision organizations that provide multiproducts and multiservices and points out that some previous studies that used the production function have limitations due to the fact that the production function only permits a single output variable. This investigation incorporated a wide range of collections and service output variables into the total cost function. The regression results show that the adjusted R square of the cost function model is 0.8 and that the coefficients of three very important output variables (volumes held, serials, and group presentations) are statistically significant at high confidence levels. The final findings of this research show that the function coefficient is 0.93, indicating that slight economies of scale exist in academic research libraries. |
