| | Friedrich List and the American System of Economy |
 | | List thus does battle for the right of nations to economically develop, to increase their prosperity and their political power, but not in the sense of a destructive nationalism which seeks to enrich itself at the cost of other nations, but solely through the development of its own ``productive powers.'' | | | Thus, according to List, ``the productive powers of a nation'' are based upon a ``capital of nature,'' a ``capital of mind'' and a ``capital of productive matter. | | | List prominently cites the Frenchmen, Charles Dupin (1784-1873), and Jean Antoine Chaptal (1786-1832) as exemplary economists. |

| | Third, the idea of "the national interest." List accused Adam Smith and other free-trade economists of "cosmopolitanism." Men were not a part of a global community, List argued, in which their interests harmonized in a network of international commerce and division of labor. | | | First, the idea of "the infant industry." List argued that a country entering the early stages of industrialization was at a disadvantage in relation to those nations that were already industrialized. | | | Second, the idea of "forced capital investment." List said that a nation that specialized in those lines of production dictated by the profitable opportunities offered by international commerce under free trade could find itself locked into low-income-earning activities, escape from which might be impossible. |

| | General equilibrium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Anglo-American economists became more interested in general equilibrium in the late 1920s and 1930s after Piero Sraffa's demonstration that Marshallian economists cannot account for the forces thought to account for the upward-slope of the supply curve for a consumer good. | | | Calculating the equilibrium price of just one good, in theory, requires an analysis that accounts for all of the millions of different goods that are available. | | | Partial equilibrium analysis is adequate when the first-order effects of a shift in, say, the demand curve do not shift the supply curve. |

Langendorfer's "Women's Studies / Gender Studies", which can be reached at the University of Maryland's Gopher & FTP sites (inform.umd.edu). | | | I hope this article has been of help, regardless of which Net resources you can use. |

| | Minimum wage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Alternatively, in the United States, many economists see the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC, a wage subsidy) in the Federal income tax as providing the poverty-fighting benefits of the minimum wage without the non-budgetary costs, while being superior to most welfare state anti-poverty programs. | | | The costs and benefits arising from minimum wages are subject to considerable disagreement among economists, though the consensus among economics textbooks is that minimum wage laws should be avoided whenever possible as the costs exceed the benefits. | | | The traditional view that minimum wages have significant negative effects on employment is straightforward if one assumes that labor markets for low-skill workers can be characterized as fitting the model of a perfectly competitive market, where the only role of wages is as a cost. |

| | THE CAUSES OF RECESSIONS AND RECOVERIES |
| | Most economists consider it an injustice that voters often hold the president responsible; Carter was evicted for a "misery index" (high unemployment and inflation) that was really beyond his control. | | | Bush was fired after a lingering recession had immortalized James Carville's election slogan: "It's the economy, stupid." However, if presidents really knew how to prevent recessions, they would be on the short list for the next Nobel Prize. | | | According to Keynes, recessions occur when individuals start hoarding money because times are tough - but times become tougher when everyone starts hoarding money. |

| | Talk:List of economics topics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | It intersects necessarily with the list of ethics articles, as many economists accept that a theory of economics is also a theory of ethics, i.e. | | | In general these moral and ethical arguments are contained in other lists, and should be minimized here unless they are in context of an economic mechanism or market system. | | | Personally, I think that list of ethics topics, list of ecology topics, list of economics topics, and list of environment topics is the correct clustering, as it's foolish to imagine solving a problem in any of these areas without solving one in the others, if it's of big enough scale. |

| | The term economics was coined around 1870 and popularized by influential "neoclassical" economists such as Alfred Marshall ( Welfare definition), as a substitute for the earlier term political economy, which referred to "the economy of polities" â competing states. | | | In marginalist economic theory, the price level is determined by the marginal cost and marginal utility. | | | Microeconomics, which examines the economic behaviour of individual actors such as businesses, households, and individuals, with a view to understand decision making in the face of scarcity and the allocation consequences of these decisions. |

| | The objectives are to communicate results of high quality economic analysis to policymakers, focus high quality research and analysis on current policy issues of widespread concern, increase knowledge among economists of features of the economy key to understanding the impact of policy, and to advance methods of policy analysis. | | | Besides containing research on all economics topic areas, a principal objective is to make each article understandable to economists who are not necessarily specialists in the article's topic area. | | | First published in 1982, Contemporary Economic Policy publishes scholarly economic research and analysis on issues of vital concern to business, government, and other decision makers. |

| | His graphical depiction of this in a "Tableau Economique" helped economists explain and keep track of the accounting of goods and services, which aided economists in explaining the flaws of the mercantilists' claims that countries that exported and accumulated gold benefited themselves. | | | His lifetime economic work on population growth around the world was a fine example of using empirical evidence to test economic theory, which influenced economists from his day to the present. | | | His use of mathematics and graphical analysis, coupled with a lively writing style, made these tools more accessible to students. |

| | The term economics was coined around 1870 and popularized by influential "neoclassical" economists such as Alfred Marshall (Welfare definition), as a substitute for the earlier term political economy, which referred to "the economy of polities" – competing states. | | | Economics, which focuses on measurable variables, is broadly divided into two main branches: microeconomics, which deals with individual agents, such as households and businesses, and macroeconomics, which considers the economy as a whole, in which case it considers aggregate supply and demand for money, capital and commodities. | | | Microeconomics, which examines the economic behaviour of individual actors such as businesses, households, and individuals, with a view to understand decision making in the face of scarcity and the consequences of these decisions. |

| | We have a large and persuasive body of research showing that markets cannot be consistently timed for profit, that picking stocks or individual securities is unlikely to outperform passive investment strategies, and that eminent economists cannot predict future moves in the economy any more accurately than chance. | | | This period included a nasty bear market in the 1970's, inflation, very high interest rates, a weak economy, then robust equity, bond, and real estate markets in most of the period from 1981 through 1998. | | | We cannot know the future with certainty and this is particularly true when it comes to financial market returns, the economy, interest rates and other matters of concern to investors. |

| | Also, the growth differential between the CPI-E and CPI-U is attributable to increased weighting of a few item categories, most notably medical services, an item category economists agree has poorly captured improved quality and new item effects. | | | We typically measure these fortunes by adjusting changes in nominal incomes or consumption expenditures by a single national index of inflation, which is fine if group differences in inflation are small but misleading if they are not. | | | This would provide useful information about the consequences of heterogeneity of prices paid, but in the absence of a direct link between prices paid and individual purchasers, the association between economic and demographic characteristics and prices paid would be quite indirect and partial (see below for a brief discussion of this approach). |
