Topic: Time Periods <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

Production of goods and services takes time.Two time periods:
  • Long run A period in which all prices are flexible. Long run price flexibility means that all markets are in equilibrium.
  • Short run A period in which some prices are flexible and some are rigid. Short run price rigidity leads to disequilibrium in resource markets, even though product and financial markets are in equilibrium.
  • In the short run, disequilibrium in resource markets (especially labor) means that jobs remain unfilled or some workers are unemployed, even though we have equilibrium in the product markets, with satisfied buyers and sellers.

Accounting cost, while very important to accountants, company CEOs, shareholders, and the Internal Revenue Service, is only minimally important to economists. The reason is that economists are more interested in economic cost (also called opportunity cost), which is the value of foregone production.
