UNANIMITY RULE: A voting rule in which decisions are made based on unanimous approval of those casting votes. That is, every voter must cast the same vote. Unanimity is used in elections where there is no room for doubt or disagreement. The most common example is court cases where a jury must vote unanimously for conviction or acquittal. Private clubs also employ unanimity vote when admitting new members. This is one of several voting rules. Others include majority, super majority, and plurality.

CONSUMER PRICE INDEX FOR ALL URBAN CONSUMERS: This is the official name and designation for the Consumer Price Index that's commonly reported in the media. It is officially abbreviated CPI-U. Because it is THE standard, it usually goes by the shorted abbreviation CPI. The CPI-U was introduced in 1978 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to address some of the deficiencies in the existing consumer price index, which now has the designation of CPI-W. In particular, the newer CPI-U includes the prices of goods and services purchased by about 80% of the non-institutionalized population while the older CPI-W includes about only 32 percent (see ).

PRIVATE GOODS

Goods characterized by rival consumption and the ability to exclude nonpayers. Private goods are one of four types of goods differentiated by consumption rivalry and nonpayer excludability. The other three goods are public (nonrival consumption and nonpayers cannot be excluded), common-property (rival consumption and nonpayers cannot be excluded), and near-public (nonrival consumption and nonpayers can be excluded). Rival consumption and the ease of excluding of nonpayers means private goods can be efficiently exchanged through markets.
