Short-run cost, long-run cost

Japanese: 短期費用・長期費用 - たんきひようちょうきひよう(英語表記)short‐run cost,long‐run cost
Short-run cost, long-run cost
The most important concepts of time in economics are the short run and the long run. The short run is a period during which there are production factors that cannot be changed during that period, such as the size and number of factories, and the only things that companies can freely change during this period are raw materials, labor, etc. The long run is a period of time during which it is possible to build new factories and all production factors are variable. In the short run, a company's policy variables and the scope of decision-making are limited compared to the long run.

Japanese:
経済学における時間の概念のうち,最も重要なものが短期・長期の概念である。短期とは,工場の規模や数のように,その期間内では変更することができない生産要素が存在するような期間のことであり,この期間内に企業が自由に変更できるのは原材料,労働などに限られる。長期とは,工場の新増設も可能で,すべての生産要素が可変的となるような長さの期間のことである。短期においては長期と比べ,企業の政策変数,意思決定の範囲が限られたものとなるのである。
