The Theory Of The Firm Under Perfect Competition

Question

 Explain how efficiency may increase if two firms merge.

Answer

It happens when one firm is not efficient, say, because of its obsolete technology whereas the other firm is inefficient, say, because of its poor managerial skill. If both the firms merge, themselves, efficiency will increase in the form of lower cost as it will collectively make use of better technology and better managerial skill.
