LONG RUN, MACROECONOMICS: In terms of the macroeconomic analysis of the aggregate market, a period of time in which all prices, especially wages, are flexible, and have achieved their equilibrium levels. This is one of two macroeconomic time designations; the other is the short run.

Wage and price flexibility and the resulting resource market equilibria are the reason for the vertical long-run aggregate supply curve.
