LONG-RUN INDUSTRY SUPPLY CURVE: The relation between market price and the quantity supplied by all firms in a perfectly competitive industry after the industry as completed its long-run adjustment. The long-run industry supply curve effectively traces out a series of equilibrium prices and quantities the reflect long-run adjustments of a perfectly competitive industry to demand shocks. This long-run adjustment can take one of three paths: increasing, decreasing, and constant. These three adjustment paths indicate an increasing-cost industry, decreasing-cost industry, and constant-cost industry, respectively.

Market Supply
This supply lesson provides an introduction, not only into Stuffed Amigo selling behavior, but into selling a wide range of other goods, even goods that aren't cute and cuddly. In fact, this supply topic does more than offer insight into selling behavior. It's also the second half of the market analysis -- the first half being demand. And to reiterate what I noted during the demand lesson, market analysis is one of the most widely used tools in the study of economics for explaining a lot of economic phenomenon. Of course to use markets, we now need to consider supply. - The first unit of this lesson, Selling Basics, introduces the basic concept of supply and a few related terms such as supply price and quantity supplied.
- In the second unit, Law of Supply, we move into a discussion of the law of supply, which captures the basic relation between supply price and quantity supplied.
- The third unit, Supply Curve, then develops the supply curve, which is the graphical embodiment of the supply concept.
- Moving onto the fourth unit, Determinants, we examine how the five basic supply determinants cause the supply curve to shift from one location to another.
- And in the fifth and final unit, Scarcity, we make a connection between supply and the limited resources part of scarcity.

EMPLOYED The condition in which a resource (especially labor) is actively engaged in a productive activity usually in exchange for an explicit factor payment (such as wage or salary). This general condition forms the conceptual basis for one of the three categories used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to classify an individual's labor force status. The specific BLS classification is employed persons. The other two BLS categories are unemployed persons and not in the labor force.
