  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. 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]

  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. Production (economics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_(economics)

    In the short run, the production function assumes there is at least one fixed factor input. The production function relates the quantity of factor inputs used by a business to the amount of output that result. There are three measure of production and productivity. The first one is total output (total product).

  6. Economies of scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economies_of_scale

    Each of these factors reduces the long run average costs (LRAC) of production by shifting the short-run average total cost (SRATC) curve down and to the right. Economies of scale is a concept that may explain patterns in international trade or in the number of firms in a given market.

  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.

  8. Say's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Say's_law

    In Marx's theory, there is a gap between the creation of surplus value in production and the realization of that surplus value via a sale. To realize a sale, a commodity must have a use value for someone, so that they purchase the commodity and complete the cycle M–C–M'. Capitalism, which is interested in value (money as wealth), must ...

  9. Marginal product of labor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_product_of_labor

    In the short run, production can be varied only by changing the variable input. Thus only variable costs change as output increases: ∆C = ∆VC = ∆(wL). Marginal cost is ∆(Lw)/∆Q. Now, ∆L/∆Q is the reciprocal of the marginal product of labor (∆Q/∆L).
