Allocative Efficiency
  1. Definition
    1. This exists when a set of resources is used to produce the goods and services which people want
      1. AR = MC
    2. Perfect Competition
      1. Are allocatively efficient as well as profit maximising firm
        1. They operate at point where demand equals supply
      2. Monopoly
        1. Not allocatively efficient as they are profit maximising firm
          1. The main assumption is that monopolies put up price and lower output
            1. This means consumer surplus is reduced and some producer surplus is removed
              1. There's an overall rise in producer surplus.
                1. Diagram on the left shows deadweight loss welfare
                  1. Since monopoly is industry the green area shows no goods are sold at that price and no firm makes that many goods/services
                    1. Again this is because monopolies are profit maximisers
          2. Growth Maximising Monopolies may operate allocatively efficient
