HOTELLING'S RULE: The notion that efficiency and competitive market forces will lead to an increase of scarcity rent of a finite, exhaustible resource that is equal to the interest rate. The logic behind Hotelling's Rule is that as a finite fossil fuel is depleted, less is available in the future, causing scarcity rent, and thus the resource price, to increase. An increase in the resource price reduces the quantity demanded and conserves more for future consumption. When finite, exhaustible resource markets are competitive, this process generates an efficient allocation over time.

Marginal Productivity Theory

|
|
- The marginal productivity theory.
- Marginal productivity theory states that the demand for a resource or factor of production is based on the marginal (physical) product of the resource input and the marginal revenue of the output produced.
- A definition...again:
- Factor demand depends on the quantity output an input can produce and the value of that output.
- In particular, factor demand depends on two marginals:
- The productivity of the factor.
- The revenue generated from production.

AGGREGATE SUPPLY The total (or aggregate) real production of final goods and services available in the domestic economy at a range of price levels, during a given time period. Aggregate supply, usually abbreviated AS, is two different relations between price level and real production--long run and short run. With long-run aggregate supply, prices and wages are flexible and all markets are in equilibrium. With short-run aggregate supply some prices and wage are NOT flexible and some markets are NOT in equilibrium. This is one half of the AS-AD (aggregate market) analysis. The other half is aggregate demand.
