ZONING: Legal restrictions on where different activities can locate within a city. Most cities regulate the location of industrial, commercial, and residential activities. The underlying motivation behind zoning is to keep less desirable, but perhaps more profitable, activities from encroaching upon residential areas.

AUTONOMOUS GOVERNMENT PURCHASES: Government purchases that are unrelated to income or production (especially national income or gross national product). These are government purchases that would occur even if national income was zero. Autonomous government purchases are graphically depicted as the vertical intercept of the government purchases line relating government purchases to national income. Changes in autonomous government purchases, along with changes in other autonomous expenditures, are what trigger the multiplier effect.

PERFECT COMPETITION, LONG-RUN ADJUSTMENT

A perfectly competitive industry undertakes a two-part adjustment to equilibrium in the long run. One is the adjustment of each perfectly competitive firm to the appropriate factory size that maximizes long-run profit. The other is the entry of firms into the industry or exit of firms out of the industry, to eliminate economic profit or economic loss. The end result of this long-run adjustment is a multi-faceted equilibrium condition that price is equal to marginal cost and average cost (both short run and long run).
