Perfect Competition
in the Long-Run

You are a wheat farmer. You learn that there is more profit in making corn. What do you do in the long run?
![Page 11: Perfect Competition 1. Review 1.Identify the 4 Market Structures 2.Identify the characteristics of perfect competition 3.Why is a perfectly competitive](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032308/56649f4c5503460f94c6d094/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
In the Long-run…•Firms will enter if there is profit•Firms will leave if there is loss•So, ALL firms break even, they make NO economic profit
(No Economic Profit=Normal Profit) •In long run equilibrium a perfectly competitive firm is EXTREMELY efficient.

PURE COMPETITION AND EFFICIENCY
•Perfect Competition forces producers to use limited resources to their fullest.•Inefficient firms have higher costs and are the first to leave the industry.•Perfectly competitive industries are extremely efficient
In general, efficiency is the optimal use of societies scarce resources
1. Productive Efficiency2. Allocative Efficiency
There are two kinds of efficiency:
