Abstract
This study empirically estimates a multi-product total cost function and ou tput relationship for comprehensive universities in the United States. Stat istical results based on data for 184 Bible colleges suggest that there are both economies of scale and economies of scope in higher education. In add ition, product-specific economies of scope do exist for all output levels a nd activities. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
