Suppose RioTintoAlcan is considering the construction of a new aluminum smelter in Northern Quebec, the operation of which requires a great deal of electricity. Suppose also that the price of electricity is predicted to rise significantly in the near future. As a result, the firm decides to embark on new research and development which leads to the development of a new production technique that uses less electricity per tonne of aluminum produced. This is an example of
◦ short-run cost minimization.
◦ long-run economies of scale.
◦ innovation away from increases in factor prices.
◦ the marginal rate of substitution between factors.
◦ short-run profit maximization.
