    This occurs when the maximum number of goods and services are produced with a given amount of inputs. This will occur on the production possibility frontier. On the curve, it is impossible to produce more goods without producing fewer services. Productive efficiency will also occur at the lowest point on the firm’s average costs curve. (Q1) See: Pr...

    This occurs when goods and services are distributed according to consumer preferences.

    This refers to efficiency over time, for example, a Ford factory in 2010 may be very efficient for the time period, but by 2017, it could have lost this relative advantage and by comparison, would now be inefficient. Dynamic efficiency involves the introduction of new technology and working practices to reduce costs over time. 1. Dynamic efficiency...

    This occurs when externalities are taken into consideration and occurs at an output where the social cost of production (SMC) = the social benefit (SMB) Social efficiency occurs at an output of 16 – where SMB = SMC See: Social efficiency

    This requires the optimum combination of factor inputs to produce a good: it is related to productive efficiency. See: Technical efficiency

    A situation where resources are distributed in the most efficient way. It is defined as a situation where it is not possible to make one party better off without making another party worse off. See: Pareto efficiency
