摘要：

If colleges and universities periodically operate at unexpected enrollment levels, measured costs may reflect short-run rather than long-run minimum average costs for different levels of output. If there is a systematic relationship between operating at disequilibrium and institutional size, cross-sectional estimates of the degree and level of scale economies may be biased. Using data from 1987-88, we assess the importance of the equilibrium assumption for estimates of scale economies in higher education. © 1991.
