EXCESS CAPACITY: A condition that exists when monopolistic competition achieves long-run equilibrium such that production by each firm is less than minimum efficient scale. The implication of this condition is that each firm is not producing up to its fullest capacity, as would be the case under perfect competition, and thus more firms are need to produce total market output compared to perfect competition. Excess capacity results because market control means a monopolistically competitive firm faces a negatively-sloped demand curve. Long-run equilibrium is thus achieved by the tangency of the negatively-sloped demand curve and the long-run average cost curve, which results in economies to scale.

INDUCED SAVING: Household saving that depends on income or production (especially disposable, national income, or gross national product). An increase in household disposable income triggers an increase in induced saving. Induced saving is graphically depicted as the slope of the saving or propensity-to-save line, and is measured by the marginal propensity to save. The induced relation between income and saving, as well as induced expenditures, form the foundation of the multiplier effect triggered by changes in autonomous expenditures.
