In a perfectly competitive market, how do we go
from a short run equilibrium to a long run
equilibrium?
must each perfectly competitive firm be in equilibrium if the industry is in the long-run equilibrium? why?
The market for corn is perfectly competitive and all firms are in long-run equilibrium currently. What will happen in the market if the incomes of corn consumers rise, assuming corn is an inferior good? Use two appropriately labelled graphs of the market and the individual perfectly competitive firm to explain.
