What is the difference between "diminishing marginal returns" and "diseconomies of scale"?
◦
Both concepts explain why average total cost increases after some point but diminishing marginal returns applies only in the short run when there is at least one fixed factor, while diseconomies of scale applies in the long run when all factors are variable.
