FALLACY: A logical error in an argument or evaluation of a policy. The six common fallacies that surface in economic analysis are: false cause, personal attack, division, composition, false authority, and mass appeal. These fallacies are most troublesome because, although false, they seem correct, especially when used by a slick-talking, charismatic person (politician) or when the fallacies support a preconceived notion or fundamental belief.

PROPRIETORS' INCOME: The excess of revenue over explicit production cost of owner-operated businesses. While proprietorships are the namesake and most important contributory to proprietors' income, many partnerships are also included. Because proprietors or partners of owner-operated businesses generally supply several factors of production--labor, capital, land, and entrepreneurship--without explicitly paying for each factor separately, the income received by the owners usually include wage, interest, rent, and profit payments. However, in most it's virtually impossible to identify what portion of the owners income is payment for each factor, so they are combined as proprietors' income. See also | wage | interest | rent | profit | factor payments | National Income and Product Accounts | Bureau of Economic Analysis | national income | compensation of employees | net interest | corporate profits | rental income of persons |
