HARD PEG: Establishing a fixed exchange rate between one national currency (usually that of a small country) and another national currency (usually that of an industrial power). One country, in other words, "pegs" the value of its currency to the value of another currency. This is commonly done by countries with a history of monetary instability is used as a means of restoring and maintaining order. This U.S. dollar is frequently used for a hard peg by other smaller nations. The result of a hard peg is to eliminate control by the pegging nation and relying on the actions of the targeting nation.

Topic: What It Doesn't Do <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

GDP and related measures are not perfect.
  • GDP is only an indicator of economic activity. Because it requires interpretation and analysis it is subject to misinterpretation and misanalysis.
  • GDP is an aggregate measure for the economy. It measures total production, but it does not indicate who receives the production, the distribution of production.
  • GDP does not measure the satisfaction of wants and needs. GDP can increase even though welfare does not increase, or even decreases. GDP might even decrease even though welfare is greater.

MARGINAL FACTOR COST CURVE

A curve that graphically represents the relation between marginal factor cost incurred by a firm for hiring an input and the quantity of input employed. A profit-maximizing firm hires the quantity of input found at the intersection of the marginal factor cost curve and marginal revenue product curve. The marginal factor cost curve for a firm with no market control is horizontal. The marginal factor cost curve for a firm with market control is positively sloped and lies above the average factor cost curve.

This isn't me! What am I?

The wealthy industrialist, Andrew Carnegie, was once removed from a London tram because he lacked the money needed for the fare.
"It is not the straining for great things that is most effective; it is the doing of the little things, the common duties, a little better and better."
