ECONOMIES OF SCALE: Declining long-run average cost that occurs as a firm increases all inputs and expands its scale of production. This is graphically illustrated by a negatively-sloped long-run average cost curve and typically occurs for relatively small levels of production.

Together, economies of scale and diseconomies of scale cause the long-run average cost curve to be U-shaped.
