Can someone explain the idea of "Dynamic efficiency".
I know the definition is "the ability to innovate and adapt the allocation of resources based on the current economic environment" but I don't really understand the idea all that well.
A common example of dynamic efficiency is using the latest technology, what are some other examples?
Thanks
I don't know if this will help but -
From what I gather, an example of dynamic efficiency is the ability of a company to adapt to change, and to be flexible in order to keep up with the market or risk falling behind - technology is the best example. The company will often need to consider long term goals in conjunction with short term goals by investing etc in order to do this.
For example, kodak went from dominating the photography market to having to file for bankruptcy recently.
Also another example is myspace dying out once facebook 'revolutionised' the social media platform. (lack of a better term)
Dynamic efficiency I think is also related to how quickly an economy can reallocate its resources from one sector to another, if there was a need to. E.g. moving resources from manufacturing to services and considering how quickly people can be retrained and if the capital can be used in the other sector directly.
tldr how companies and the economy in general copes with change.
I have that written in my notes, anyhow
An irrelevant question - if an economy goes from positive to negative rates of growth (in an analysis question) would it be correct to say that 'the rate of economic growth decreased from e.g. 1% to -4.3%"?
