The
marginal cost of choosing one textbook over another is generally close to zero (because all textbooks
cost about the same amount [xiv]-RRB-, and several recent studies have documented meaningfully large
differences in student outcomes.
In all of these scenarios, the marginal cost of production is not going to be even $ 1 for a trade paperback and will rarely be over $ 1.50 for a trade hardcover (obviously the last big brick Harry Potter novels cost a teeny bit more due to sheer volume of paper needed to print a 750 page novel, but not * that * much more), meaning that if we're talking marginal cost of production as the difference in price between a paperback and an ebook, we're not talking about a huge difference in pric

A recent report prepared by UC Davis researchers for the California Air Resources Board (ARB) found that compliance
costs for the Low Carbon Fuels Standard (LCFS) may increase rapidly
in the future if there are large
differences in marginal costs between traditional fossil fuels and alternative, low - carbon - intensity fuels; or if... Read more →
