Abstract :
The economies of scale for the commerce automation adopters and nonadopters are measured from a Taiwanese national survey of retail trade, respectively. In this paper, the production function is specified as an additive nonparametric model for the empirical study. The findings of this paper show that the impact of altering the contour of economies of scale through commerce automation drives is significant
