  2. Production function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_function

    In the short run, production function at least one of the 's (inputs) is fixed. In the long run, all factor inputs are variable at the discretion of management. Moysan and Senouci (2016) provide an analytical formula for all 2-input, neoclassical production functions. [4]

  3. Solow–Swan model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solow–Swan_model

    The Solow–Swan model or exogenous growth model is an economic model of long-run economic growth. It attempts to explain long-run economic growth by looking at capital accumulation, labor or population growth, and increases in productivity largely driven by technological progress. At its core, it is an aggregate production function, often ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Perfect competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_competition

    v. t. e. In economics, specifically general equilibrium theory, a perfect market, also known as an atomistic market, is defined by several idealizing conditions, collectively called perfect competition, or atomistic competition. In theoretical models where conditions of perfect competition hold, it has been demonstrated that a market will reach ...

  6. Economic region of production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_region_of_production

    Economic region of production. In economics and microeconomics, the economic region of production is an offshoot of the theory of production function with two variables. It is a cost-oriented theory which defines the region in which the optimal factor combination will lie. [1] It serves as a map of the region of optimal production.

  7. Production–possibility frontier - Wikipedia

    Figure 2: Unbiased expansion of a production possibility frontier. The two main determinants of the position of the PPF at any given time are the state of technology and management expertise (which are reflected in the available production functions) and the available quantities of factors of production (materials, direct labor, and factory overhead).

  8. Long-run cost curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-run_cost_curve

    Long-run cost curve. In economics, a cost function represents the minimum cost of producing a quantity of some good. The long-run cost curve is a cost function that models this minimum cost over time, meaning inputs are not fixed. Using the long-run cost curve, firms can scale their means of production to reduce the costs of producing the good.

  9. Returns to scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Returns_to_scale

    In economics, the concept of returns to scale arises in the context of a firm's production function. It explains the long-run linkage of increase in output (production) relative to associated increases in the inputs (factors of production). In the long run, all factors of production are variable and subject to change in response to a given ...
