Technically, “constant returns to scale” describes a…

Summary:
Technically, “constant returns to scale” describes a production process where you get exactly twice as much stuff out if you put twice as much stuff in. Economists often argue that at least constant returns to scale should be achievable since, worst case scenario, you could just build a second identical factory next to the first one. As such, I want economic instructors to start using this as their example of constant returns to scale.
