| | Good Governance--The IMF's Role |
 | | Our approach is to concentrate on those aspects of good governance that are most closely related to our surveillance over macroeconomic policies—namely, the transparency of government accounts, the effectiveness of public resource management, and the stability and transparency of the economic and regulatory environment for private sector activity. | | | Third, the IMF has promoted transparency in financial transactions in the government budget, central bank, and the public sector more generally, and has provided assistance to improve accounting, auditing, and statistical systems. | | | Executive Directors on the significance of good governance for economic efficiency and growth. |

| | Common good - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | These definitions of the common good present it as a quality which is convertible, or reducible, to the sum total of all the private interests of the individual members of a society and interchangeable with them. | | | collective good (social good) - private good - common good - common-pool resource- club good - public good - global public good - Accounting good | | | A more satisfactory definition of the common good, as the quintessential goal of the State, requires an admission of the individual's basic right in society, which is, namely, the right of everyone to the opportunity to freely shape his life by responsible action, in pursuit of virtue and in accordance with the moral law. |

| | Electoral reform and accounting reform and even monetary reform all proceed directly from the desire to make the economic and social relation accurately reflect values decisions made by at least the wiser individuals. | | | Values collectivism is the view that individual lives (or their eudaimonia) are only instrumentally valuable, i.e., good only as a means to, or as an outcome of the flourishing of society; the flourishing of society (whatever this might be) is the only intrinsically good thing. | | | Values individualism is the view that only individual lives (or their eudaimonia) are intrinsically valuable; and so they are valuable not merely as a means to the flourishing of society. |

| | Search good - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In economics, a search good is a product or service with features and characteristics easily observable before purchase. | | | Search goods are more subject to price competition, as consumers can easily verify the price of the product at other outlets and make sure that the products are comparable. | | | collective good (social good) - private good - common good - club good - public good - global public good - Accounting good |

| | Substitute good - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The fact that one good is substitutable for another has immediate economic consequences: insofar as one good can be substituted for another, the demand for the two kinds of good will be bound together by the fact that customers can trade off one good for the other if it becomes advantageous to do so. | | | Thus, economists can predict that a spike in the cost of wood will likely mean increased business for bricklayers, or that falling cellular phone rates will mean a fall-off in business for public pay phones. | | | collective good (social good) - private good - common good - common-pool resource- club good - public good - global public good - Accounting good |

| | Since the Islamic society is supposed to base its societal relationships, its economic activity and accounting on the basis of the Sharia’, it would be good to consider the general and especially the economic objectives of the sharia in addition to surveying the specific commandments related to economics and accounting. | | | Accounting theory is that branch of accounting which consists of the systematic statement of principles and methodology as distinct from practice...which it underlies, explains and attempts to predict. | | | Whereas accounting was mainly an ‘internal matter’ where the proprietors were close to the business, the growth of limited liability companies and the consequent separation of owners from managers led to the requirement of stewardship accounting. |

| | The NNP in anarchist economics should be corrected in several ways from the registrated market values of today's (2002) usual bureaucratical national accounting. | | | Also a more democratic society, economical and political/administrative in private and public sectors, is a public good in itself. | | | All of the anarchist principles should be taken into account in management and coordination, political/administrative as well as economical in private and public sectors. |

| | The model does a very good job of accounting quantitatively for the estimated response of the U.S. economy to a policy shock. | | | Also, the interest rate and the money growth rate move persistently in opposite directions after a monetary policy shock. | | | In addition, the model generates hump-shaped responses in investment, consumption, employment, profits, and productivity, as well as a small response in the real wage. |

| | Gresham's Law (tdctrade.com) |
| | Sir Thomas Gresham probably did not expect, when he expressed his opinion that "bad money drives out good", that it would become a dictum, and indeed a Law in monetary economics named after him. | | | The intrinsic values of the two currencies could be equalised through a freely determined exchange rate, and possibly through interest rates, if there is a reliable market for it, in which case it would be difficult to choose between the good money and the bad. | | | In terms of bank deposits, therefore, the good money would be favoured and would possibly dominate in the balance sheet of the banking system. |

| | The National Income Accounts |
| | One thing that we don’t spend as much time on in economics nowadays is national income accounting. | | | However, it’s good for you to know what the national income accounts are composed of because almost all countries in the world use it, and they are also used in contexts of valuing environmental goods in some instances. | | | But a quick exercise to see how the national income accounts work is good to see – the national income accounts are frequently cited in the media. |

| | Behavioral finance combines two disciplines--psychology and economics--to explain why and how people make seemingly emotional or illogical decisions with respect to spending and saving money. | | | Mental accounting can be a good thing when it helps people focus on their future financial goals, like saving for a car or retirement. | | | An example of a mental accounting error is carrying a 17% credit card balance when money to repay this debt sits in a 2% bank account. |

| | A negative EROEI means that mankind is throwing "good" energy away to move "dirt" and, in the end, recover low-grade raw hydrocarbon material that requires even more energy to upgrade to some useable form. | | | According to Huber, Hubbert's Peak Oil theory is "junk economics." Huber believes that EROEI is "sophomoric" and "irrelevant." And Huber states that Hubbert's matter-energy system is "nonsense" whose "constraints count for nothing." After all, states Huber, we are talking about "the real world" in which all that "investors...care about is dollar return on dollar invested." | | | Huber explains and justifies his ad hominem assault on the departed Hubbert as follows: "Today this same nonsense (Hubbert's 'matter-energy' system) is often dressed up with numbers in an analysis that's dubbed 'energy return on energy invested' (EROEI). |
