  • An important notion:

  • Most firms operate in the short run and long run simultaneously.
  • Firms engage in day-to-day production activities -- combining inputs to produce output guided by short-run production principles, especially the law of diminishing marginal returns.

  • However, at the same time they are making plans to change any fixed inputs, plans that take time to implement.

  • For this reason, the long run is often termed the planning period or planning horizon.
