LONG RUN, MICROECONOMICS: In terms of the microeconomic analysis of production and supply, a period of time in which all inputs in the production process are variable. The long run is primarily used to analyze production decisions for a firm and is also referred to as the planning horizon. The long run is a period of time in which a business can change the quantities of ALL resource inputs--labor, capital, land, and entrepreneurship. Nothing is fixed. If your factory is to small, well then, build a bigger one. The long-run analysis of production is used to better understand economies of scale, diseconomies of scale, and long-run market supply.

|
Page: 21 of 24
|
- Suppose that the union takes monopoly control of the supply-side of this market.
- This tense situation is officially described as a bilateral monopoly.
- Bilateral monopoly is market structure containing a single buyer and a single seller, or more specifically, the combination of a monopoly on the selling side and a monopsony on the buying side.
- Should the firm seek to hire workers, it must do so through the union. Alternatively, should the union seek to employment for its members, it must do so through the firm.
- That's the way it works. One buyer. One seller.
