More About the Index
When your printer crashes five minutes before a critical, pass-the-class, term paper is due, you:

throw the printer off the tallest building around.
use one of your three backup printers.
quit school and hitchhike around Europe.
stare vacantly at the ceiling until the semester ends.
search frantically for anyone or anywhere with another printer.
grab a pencil and paper and begin a longhanded rewrite.

LAW OF DIMINISHING MARGINAL UTILITY: The principle stating that as more of a good is consumed, eventually each additional unit of the good provides less additional utility--that is, marginal utility decreases. Each subsequent unit of a good is valued less than the previous one. The law of diminishing marginal utility helps explain the negative slope of the demand curve and the law of demand.

The AmosWEB GLOSS*arama is a searchable database of 2000 economic terms and concepts. GLOSS*arama entries range from A ("a" -- the vertical intercept of a straight line) to Z ("zoning" -- legal restrictions on the location of an activity).

Using the GLOSS*arama

  • Browsing Alphabetically: Use the letters at the top of this page to retrieve a listing of every term in the GLOSS*arama beginning with the selected letter. Clicking the pound sign "#" will generate a list of every term beginning with a number.

  • QUICK Search: The QUICK Search will return the definition (if available) of your search term, plus a "See Also" list of related terms. It will also return a second list of entries found in the GLOSS*arama that contain your search term.

We think the AmosWEB GLOSS*arama is without question the best economics glossary available on the web. If you find a better one, let us know. We won't stay second best for long.

AVERAGE REVENUE

The revenue received for selling a good per unit of output sold, found by dividing total revenue by the quantity of output. Average revenue often goes by a simpler and more widely used term... price. Using the longer term average revenue rather than price provides a connection to other related terms, especially total revenue and marginal revenue. When compared with average cost, average revenue indicates the amount of profit generated per unit of output produced. Average revenue is often depicted by an average revenue curve.

Let's go International for our Featured Website this week with the London School of Economics and Political Science. One of the premier academic institutions, anyway, in any country. That along makes a visit worth the effort.

A Somewhat Defective Look At PRODUCT SAFETY

WAIT! STOP! My shoe's untied! And my blasted shoestring is tangled! Fortunately I have my handy OmniStraight shoestring straightener, a product developed by a team of former NASA scientists that's designed to straighten and untangle even the most convoluted shoestrings. OOPS! You might want to continue your pedestrian journey without me. It seems as though my handy OmniStraight shoestring straightener has inadvertently dissected my shoestring, mangled the upper half of my jogging shoe, and introduced several gashes to the top of my foot. As I faint face-first onto the sidewalk from the loss of blood, you can consider some of the ins and outs of my predicament.

[What's This?]

Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time searching for rummage sales hoping to buy either a coffee cup commemorating last Friday (you know why) or a wall poster commemorating the first day of spring. Be on the lookout for infected paper cuts.
