A POSTERIORI: A conclusion reached through logical reasoning based on facts and observations about the real world. This notion is closely related to the scientific verification of hypotheses and the identification of principles. A similar sounding, but opposite term is a prior, which is a unverified presumption made before an analysis is undertaken. For example, in the study of economics of crime you might assume, a priori, that people are basically "good", and conclude, a posteriori, that people are more likely to commit crimes when the threat of capture and conviction is lower.

- Resources flow from the household sector (demand) to the business (supply) sector through the factor markets.
- The household sector sells the resources through the factor markets and buy goods through the product markets.
- The business sector buys resources through the factor markets and sells goods through the product markets.
