ABSOLUTE ADVANTAGE: The general ability to produced more goods using fewer resources. This idea of absolute advantage is important for trading that occurs between both people and nations. A nation can get an absolute advantage from an advanced level of technology or higher quality resources. For a person, an absolute advantage can result from natural abilities or the acquisition of human capital (education, training, or experience).

Two Runs: Short And Long
|
|
|
- The two key time production periods.
- The short run is a production time period in which at least one input is variable and at least one input is fixed.
- The key is that firms produce and supply output on a day-to-day basis by adding variable inputs to fixed inputs.
- The long run is a production time period in which all inputs are variable.
- The long run is a period long enough to alter the quantities of ALL inputs, especially changing the amount of capital or the size of a factory.

THREE-SECTOR INJECTIONS-LEAKAGES MODEL A variation of the Keynesian injections-leakages model that includes the three domestic sectors--the household sector, the business sector, and the government sector. This model provides an alternative to the three-sector aggregate expenditures (Keynesian cross) analysis of government stabilization policies, especially how fiscal policy changes in government purchases and taxes can be used to close recessionary gaps and inflationary gaps. Equilibrium is identified as the intersection between the S + T line and the I + G line. Two related variations are the two-sector injections-leakages model and the four-sector injections-leakages model.
