Technical Question: Our textbook made an obseravtion about new start-up firms. It said that these firms reduce their costs by moving from from higher to lower points on their short-run cost curves and by downward shifts of their short-run cost curves via economies of scale. It claimed that firms like Starbucks and Google were good examples of this.

Homework Answers
Economies of scale are not realise by shifting down the cost curves. These are the advantages available to the firm when it increases production and its average total cost continues to decline. There is no shift in any of the cost function when there are economies of scale but a movement along the original average total cost curve
