Econ questions. Please help!?
Does it matter what market structure the industry operates in? Why?
Can firms in all market structures earn economic profits in the long run? Why/why not?
Answer:
If short run goes up, long run should go up. Long-run is a summation of all short run profits.
Yes. The more barriers to entry in a market, the longer the period a company can extract the extra (increased) profits. Barriers will mean it will take time for others to come into the amrket and bring the profit level back to a long run equalobrium.
No. Perfect competition will drive it down to the noo profit level. In the economic sense.
