Study Notes
The Long Run in Economics
- In economics, the long run is a period of time where all inputs of production can be adjusted.
- This includes both fixed inputs (like capital) and variable inputs (like labor).
- The length of the long run is determined by how long it takes for a business to adjust all of its inputs.
- In contrast, the short run is when at least one input is fixed, and the business can only adjust variable inputs.
- Factors that contribute to the length of the long run include the nature of the industry, the technology used, legal restrictions and more.
