Economic Development and the Division of Production between Households and Markets
构建了一个模型，其中规模经济使市场生产比家庭生产更具成本优势，但市场生产受市场范围限制。随着经济发展，生产从家庭转向市场，并解释了其他相关变化。
A model is presented in which scale economies give market production a cost advantage over household production, but in which market production is limited by the extent of the market. The author views the production process as a series of stages, each further refining and specializing the product of the previous stage. As processing proceeds, the number of intermediate goods increases and markets thin out. Firms specialize in the early stages of production and households in the later stages. As an economy grows, production shifts out of households and into the market. Several other changes associated with economic development are also accounted for.
