When comparing all the different market structure, the best way is to compare all the different efficiencies. Explain how and why Allocative/Productive/Dynamic efficiency is achieved/not achieved.

For instance, in monopolistic competition, 'Dynamic efficiency is not achieved in the long run. Since super normal profits are not being made, it restricts a firms ability to reinvest back in the business. Over time, consumers lose out with no technology advances, or innovative new products, reducing consumer choice and restricting price falls in the future.'

Hmmmmm, Thanks a-lot
I was wondering if anyone has an Activebook code for the Edexcel As/A level economics textbook 6th edition by Alain Anderson - it is found on the inside of the front cover. I have the textbook but the code is not valid. Thanks :smile:
I am so nervous for the exam. There is about 3 days left and i feel like my revision is not enough. Does anyone have any tips on what to do for the remaining days and what topics will most likely come up?Thank you :smile:
