摘要：

A subadditive cost function is one in which a single firm can produce at lower cost than two or more firms and is taken to be a definition of natural monopoly. A supportable cost function is one in which prices exist which cover total costs and make entry unattractive to any rival firm. This paper studies the necessary and sufficient conditions for a natural monopoly to have a supportable cost function. © 1978.
