Who Knew?



Who knew that economics terms could be so filthy? Maybe economists should be sent to a camp for reprogramming. While they're there, they might as well do some bootcamp stuff like rope climbing and log crossing. Crud, I just thought about John Candy's feet slipping on each side of that log in Stripes, now I have a stomach ache. Okay, to the list:


A Posteriori
Asian Development Bank
Attractive Force
Contractionary Gap
Double Coincidence of Wants

Early Withdrawal
Entry Barriers
Firm Assets
Free-Rider Problem
GDP Deflator

Hard Peg
Homogeneous Good
Horizontal Merger
Injection-Leakage Model
Invisible Hand

Jawboning
Kinked-Demand Curve
Limited Partnership
Logrolling
Moral Suasion

Oligopolistic Behavior
Pump and Dump
Price Rigidity
Self-Correction
Tying Contract
