LONG-RUN PRODUCTION: An analysis of the production decision made by a firm in the long run.

Returns to scale are reflected in the long-run average cost curve as either economies to scale or diseconomies to scale.

RELATIVELY INELASTIC An elasticity alternative in which relatively large changes in one variable (usually price) cause relatively small changes in another variable (usually quantity). In other words, quantity is not very responsive to price. Quantity does change, but not much, in response to large changes in price.
