Can competition-based market structures earn economic profits in the long run? Mathwhiz 29 (talk) 05:21, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Even perfectly compeitive markets will return a profit over any time horizon, but it will be smaller and fairer than one accruing under a monopoly. in economics profit is the return on entreprise, a factor of production, thus if there are no profits to be made no entrepreneurs will produce that good or service. Thus profits are part of a signalling system that allocates resources.AleXd (talk) 12:23, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks :) Mathwhiz 29 (talk) 22:29, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- I thought in the long run profits were always zero, while revenue wasn't necessarily 0. --146.163.44.228 (talk) 23:41, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Edit this?
Is this correct in the 6th line: "concluding that with the no system of resource"? 69.228.84.242 (talk) 05:03, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
