Editing Economies of scale (section)

===Economies resulting from the division of labour and the use of superior techniques===
A larger scale allows for a more efficient division of labour. The economies of division of labour derive from the increase in production speed, from the possibility of using specialized personnel and adopting more efficient techniques. An increase in the division of labour inevitably leads to changes in the quality of inputs and outputs.<ref>{{harvp|Smith|1976}}; {{harvp|Pratten|1991|pp=7, 17-8}} On the relationship between built-in technical change and scale growth, see {{harvp|Evangelista|1999|loc=chapter 4}}.</ref>
