SHORT RUN: In terms of the macroeconomic analysis of the aggregate market, a period of time in which some prices, especially wages, are rigid, inflexible, or otherwise in the process of adjusting.

In terms of the microeconomic analysis of production and supply, a period of time in which at least one input in the production process is variable and one is fixed.
