9413467922Mixed Market SystemAll modern economies are mixed where the means of production are shared between the private and public sectors.0
9413467923ExternalitiesA benefit or cost from production or consumption, accruing without compensation to nonbuyers and nonsellers of the product.1
9413467924Marginal Social CostsMarginal social cost (MSC) is the change in society's total cost brought about by the production of an additional unit of a good or service. It includes both marginal private cost and marginal external cost.2
9413467925Marginal Social BenefitsThe net social value of any product, activity or service, expressed as the sum of marginal external benefit and marginal private benefit.3
9413467926Public GoodsA good or service that is characterized by nonrivalry and nonexcludability; a good or a service with these characteristics provided by government.4
9413467927Shared ConsumptionAn economic model based on sharing, swapping, trading, or renting products and services, enabling access over ownership.5
9413467928Exclusion PrincipleThe exclusion principle states "the owner of a private good may exclude others from use unless they pay."; it excludes those who are unwilling or unable to pay for the private good but does not apply to public goods that are known to be indivisible.6
9413467929Public Choice TheoryThe economic analysis of government decision making, politics, and elections.7
9413467930Transfer PaymentsA redistribution of income and wealth made without goods or services being received in return.8
9413467931Personal Income TaxA tax levied on the taxable income of individuals, households, and unincorporated firms.9
9413467932Lerner Analogy (Index)The index describes a firm's market power by relating price to marginal cost. When either exact prices or information on the cost structure of the firm are hard to get, the Lerner index uses price elasticity of demand in order to measure market power: the Lerner index is equivalent to the inverse of the elasticity in its absolute value faced by the firm when price is set to maximise profits. Both formulas are equivalent. - L= (P-MC)/ P = 1/E10
9413467933Laffer CurveA curve relating government tax rates and tax revenues and on which a particular tax rate (between zero and 100 percent) maximizes tax revenues.11
9413467934Lorenz CurveA graphical representation of wealth distribution developed by American economist Max Lorenz in 1905. On the graph, a straight diagonal line represents perfect equality of wealth distribution; the Lorenz curve lies beneath it, showing the reality of wealth distribution. The difference between the straight line and the curved line is the amount of inequality of wealth distribution, a figure described by the Gini coefficient.12
9413467935Corporate Income TaxA tax levied on the net income (accounting profit) of corporations.13
9413467936Sales TaxA tax levied on the cost (at retail) of a broad group of products.14
9413467937Excise TaxA tax levied on the production of a specific product or on the quantity of the product purchased.15
9413467938Ability-to-Pay Tax TheoryThe idea that those who have greater income (or wealth) should pay a greater proportion of it as taxes than those who have less income (or wealth).16
9413467939Benefits Received Tax TheoryThe idea that those who received the benefits of goods and services provided by government should pay the taxes required to finance them.17
9413467940Progressive TaxA tax whose average tax rate increases as the taxpayer's income increases and decreases as the taxpayer's income decreases.18
9413467941Proportional TaxA tax whose average tax rate remains constant as the taxpayer's income increases or decreases.19

9413467945Nominal Tax RateThe amount of money generated by an investment before expenses such as taxes, investment fees, and inflation are factored in. For example, detailed data on a mutual might show a fund's nominal rate of return as 10%, but also show its return after taxes on distributions and sale of fund shares is only 7%. Investors should look beyond an investment's nominal rate of return to get a true idea of what their investment will earn.23
9413467946Effective Tax RateThe average rate at which an individual or corporation is taxed. The effective tax rate for individuals is the average rate at which their earned income is taxed. The effective tax rate for a corporation is the average rate at which its pre-tax profits are taxed. An individual's effective tax rate is calculated by dividing total tax expense by taxable income. For corporations, the effective tax rate is computed by dividing total tax expenses by the firm's earnings before taxes. The effective tax rate is the net rate a taxpayer pays if all forms of taxes are included and divided by taxable income.24
9413467947Gini CoefficientA numerical measure of the overall dispersion of income among households, families, or individuals; found graphically by dividing the area between the diagonal line and the Lorenz curve by the entire area below the diagonal line. The number ranges between 0 and 1 and is based on residents' net income. This helps define the gap between the rich and the poor, with 0 representing perfect equality and 1 representing perfect inequality.25
9413467948Adam SmithAn 18th-century philosopher and free-market economist famous for his ideas about the efficiency of the division of labor and the societal benefits of individuals' pursuit of their own self-interest. In his first book, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, Smith proposed the idea of the invisible hand, or the tendency of free markets to regulate themselves by means of competition, supply and demand, and self-interest. Smith is also known for his theory of compensating wage differentials, meaning that dangerous or undesirable jobs will tend to pay higher wages to attract workers to these positions. Smith is famously quoted as saying in his 1776 magnum opus, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest." Smith's ideas form the foundation of laissez-faire economics. The world's first free-market capitalist and known as The Father of Economics.26
