اقتصاديات الحجم أو النطاق


Explanation:
وجدت هذه الترجمة في أماكن مختلفة بما فيها مسرد المصطلحات المالية والاقتصادية الصادر عن صندوق النقد الدولي (إنجليزي-فرنسي_عربي). وقد استخدمت هذه الترجمة أحياناً في ترجمة تقارير للبنك الدولي واعتمدت. وهذا مع أني أيضا أوافق على وقورات الحجم، وإنما أقدم هذا للعلم، ليس إلا.
