Abstract
The distinction between ‘selling costs’ and ‘production costs’ occupies an important place in economic thinking in catering for the market by the sellers. The first systematic treatment of selling costs in economic theory is often considered to be that of Chamberlin [1933]. Braithwaite’s contribution [1928] is thereby neglected, though her treatment of the problem of selling costs was formulated in reference terms that to a great extent coincide with the conceptions put forward by Chamberlin.
Part of the material presented here was included in a paper for the Nijenrode Conference on Industrial Organization, 9–14 August 1976.
