PRODUCER SURPLUS: The revenue that producers obtain from selling a good over and above the opportunity cost of production. This is the difference between the minimum supply price that sellers would be willing to accept and the price that is actually received. For most producers, under most circumstances, the supply price is less than the price received. Even competitive markets overflowing with efficiency generate an ample amount of producer surplus.

Household saving that depends on income or production (especially disposable income, national income, or even gross domestic product). That is, changes in income induce changes in saving. Induced saving reflects the fundamental psychological law put forth by John Maynard Keynes. It is measured by the marginal propensity to save (MPS) and is reflected by the positive slope of saving line. The alternative to induced saving is autonomous saving, which does not depend on income.

Be on the lookout for slightly overweight pizza delivery guys.
