      About the Book

      The Lexicon of Economic Terminology is an indispensable reference from the Lexicon of Tech and Business series, offering 400 precise definitions of essential economic concepts. Designed for students, professionals, and policymakers, this book clarifies complex terms—from Microeconomics to Behavioral Finance—in clear, accessible language. Its concise format makes it ideal for quick reference, academic study, and informed economic analysis in today's dynamic global landscape.

      Preface

      Economics shapes our understanding of markets, policy, and human behavior—yet its specialized language often creates barriers. This lexicon bridges that gap by distilling 400 foundational and cutting-edge terms into straightforward definitions. Whether analyzing Quantitative Easing, debating Keynesian vs. Classical Economics, or evaluating ESG Investing, this book replaces confusion with clarity.

      Organized alphabetically and free of unnecessary complexity, it serves as both a learning tool and daily reference for anyone engaging with economic theory or practice.

      Terminology 

      Absolute Advantage: Absolute advantage refers to the ability of a party to produce more of a good or service with the same amount of resources compared to another party. It focuses on sheer output rather than opportunity cost.

      Adaptive Expectations: Adaptive expectations is the idea that individuals form their expectations of future economic conditions based on past experiences, adjusting slowly as new information becomes available.

      Adverse Selection: Adverse selection refers to a situation where one party in a transaction has more information than the other, leading to an imbalance where the more informed party exploits the less informed one, often seen in insurance markets.

      Agglomeration Economies: Agglomeration Economies refer to the benefits that firms and individuals experience by locating close to each other, including reduced transportation costs, access to a larger labor pool, and knowledge spillovers.

      Algorithmic Trading: Algorithmic trading is the use of computer algorithms to automatically execute trading strategies based on pre-set conditions, optimizing the timing and pricing of trades to gain efficiency in the market.

      Angel Investing: Angel Investing involves wealthy individuals providing capital to start-up companies in exchange for equity or debt, typically in the early stages of business development.

      Antitrust Laws: Antitrust laws are regulations designed to promote competition and prevent monopolistic practices, such as price fixing, market division, and monopolies, in order to protect consumers and ensure fair market conditions.

      Arbitrage Pricing Theory: Arbitrage Pricing Theory is a financial theory that explains the price of a financial asset based on its exposure to various risk factors, assuming that assets should be priced such that arbitrage opportunities are eliminated.

      Arbitrage: Arbitrage refers to the simultaneous purchase and sale of an asset in different markets to profit from price discrepancies, taking advantage of market inefficiencies to secure risk-free profits.

      Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem: Arrow’s impossibility theorem states that no voting system can convert individual preferences into a collective decision without violating certain fairness criteria, such as non-dictatorship and independence of irrelevant alternatives.

      Arrow-Debreu Model: The Arrow-Debreu Model is a mathematical model of general equilibrium in which all agents in the economy make decisions in a complete market, with future goods and services traded today, under perfect competition.

      Asymmetric Information: Asymmetric information occurs when one party in a transaction has more or better information than the other, leading to inefficiencies, such as in markets for used cars or health insurance.

      Atkinson Index: The Atkinson Index is a measure of income inequality that places more weight on lower-income disparities and can be adjusted based on a parameter that reflects society's aversion to inequality.

      Austerity: Austerity refers to government policies aimed at reducing budget deficits through spending cuts, tax increases, and reducing public sector debt, often leading to economic contraction in the short term.

      Austrian School: The Austrian School of Economics emphasizes individual decision-making, free markets, and the importance of entrepreneurship. It advocates for minimal government intervention in the economy and believes that market forces naturally correct economic imbalances.

      Autocorrelation: Autocorrelation is the correlation of a time series with
