  2. Long run and short run - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_run_and_short_run

    The long-run contrasts with the short-run, in which there are some constraints and markets are not fully in equilibrium. More specifically, in microeconomics there are no fixed factors of production in the long-run, and there is enough time for adjustment so that there are no constraints preventing changing the output level by changing the ...

  3. Monopolistic competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopolistic_competition

    A short-run monopolistic competition equilibrium graph has the same properties of a monopoly equilibrium graph. Long-run equilibrium of the firm under monopolistic competition. The company still produces where marginal cost and marginal revenue are equal; however, the demand curve (MR and AR) has shifted as other companies entered the market ...

  4. Cost curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_curve

    A short-run marginal cost (SRMC) curve graphically represents the relation between marginal (i.e., incremental) cost incurred by a firm in the short-run production of a good or service and the quantity of output produced. This curve is constructed to capture the relation between marginal cost and the level of output, holding other variables ...

  5. Marginal cost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_cost

    Short Run Marginal Cost. Short run marginal cost is the change in total cost when an additional output is produced in the short run and some costs are fixed. On the right side of the page, the short-run marginal cost forms a U-shape, with quantity on the x-axis and cost per unit on the y-axis.

  6. Supply shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_shock

    In the short run, an economy-wide negative supply shock will shift the aggregate supply curve leftward, decreasing the output and increasing the price level. [1] For example, the imposition of an embargo on trade in oil would cause an adverse supply shock, since oil is a key factor of production for a wide variety of goods.

  7. Profit maximization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_maximization

    The principal difference between short run and long run profit maximization is that in the long run the quantities of all inputs, including physical capital, are choice variables, while in the short run the amount of capital is predetermined by past investment decisions. In either case, there are inputs of labor and raw materials.

  9. Price elasticity of supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_supply

    For example, a cotton farmer cannot immediately (i.e. in the short run) respond to an increase in the price of soybeans because of the time it would take to procure the necessary land. Inventories A producer who has a supply of goods or available storage capacity can quickly increase supply to market. Spare or excess production capacity
