Definitions:

Allocative Efficiency

Allocative efficiency occurs when resources are distributed in a way that maximizes the net benefit to society, matching consumer preferences with production.

Productive Efficiency

A state where an economy or entity is operating in such a way that it cannot produce more of one good without reducing the output of another good.

Minimum ATC

The lowest point on the average total cost curve, representing the most efficient scale of production.

Purely Competitive Market

An idealized market structure characterized by a large number of small firms, identical products, and free entry and exit, leading to perfect competition.
