AGRARIAN: A term signifying a connection to farming, agricultural production, or the land. Agrarian is often used as a modifier for other terms, such as agrarian society (an economy that relies heavily on agricultural production), agrarian society (a society based on the institutions that emerge from a heavy reliance on agricultural production), or agrarian movement (a political movement designed to product agricultural production). Because farming was one of the first and remains one of the most fundamental activities undertaken by even the most primitive society, agrarian is typically associated with less developed, as in the phrase a "less developed, agrarian nation."

MONOPOLY PROFIT: Economic profit generated as a result of a firm's market control. It's termed monopoly profit as a reflection of the most prominent market structure with market control--monopoly. However, any market structure with market control, including oligopoly and monopolistic competition, can generate monopoly profit. The existence of monopoly profit is a clear-cut indication that a firm is NOT efficiently allocating resources. While having market control in no way guarantees that a firm will receive monopoly profit, there's no way for a firm to obtain monopoly profit WITHOUT market control. As economic profit, monopoly profit is over and above a normal profit. See also | profit | entrepreneurship | monopoly | market control | factor payments | accounting profit | economic profit | normal profit | economic rent | rent seeking | oligopoly | monopolistic competition |

AUTONOMOUS SAVING Household saving that does not depend on income or production (especially disposable income, national income, or even gross domestic product). That is, changes in income do not generate changes in saving. Autonomous saving is best thought of as a baseline level of saving (usually negative) that the household sector undertakes in the unlikely event that income falls to zero. It is measured by the intercept term of the saving function or the saving line. The alternative to autonomous saving is induced saving, which does depend on income.
