Add to ORKGIn 1963, Mac Nerlove set out to determine the returns to scale in the the electricity industry. As Hayashi points out, this paper illustrates the need for econometric analysis of data as opposed to just taking the data at face value. For example, the data may give an impression of increasing returns to scale when plotted. Using econometrics ca
