SECOND-DEGREE PRICE DISCRIMINATION: A form of price discrimination in which a seller charges the different prices for different quantities of a good. This also goes by the name block pricing. This is possible because the different quantities are purchased by different types of buyers with different demand elasticities. This is one of three price discrimination degrees. The others are first-degree price discrimination and third-degree price discrimination.

                           NONDURABLE GOODS, CONSUMPTION: Personal consumption expenditures on tangible goods that tend to last for less than a year. Common examples are food, clothing, and gasoline. This is one of three categories of personal consumption expenditures in the National Income and Product Accounts maintained by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The other two are durable goods and services. Nondurable goods are about 30 percent of personal consumption expenditures and 20 percent of gross domestic product. Nondurable goods are consumption goods purchased by the household sector that generally have a useful, satisfaction-providing existence of shorter than a year. Household expenditures on nondurable goods are generally unaffected by business cycles. In good times and bad, the household sector continues to purchase nondurable goods at a relatively constant pace.The three main subcategories of nondurable goods in the National Income and Product Accounts are "food," "clothing and shoes," and "gasoline and oil." Food, as might be expected is half of the nondurable goods expenditures. Clothing and shoes constitute about 18 percent and gasoline and oil comes in at about 7 percent of nondurable goods expenditures. The remaining 25 percent of nondurable goods purchased by the household sector includes "fuel oil and coal" (less than 1 percent) and a handy catch-all "other" category (which is the bulk of the remaining 25 percent). These categories are straightforward and do not require much explanation. The "food" entry is obviously food, "clothing and shoes" is, well, clothing and shoes, and "gasoline and oil" is gasoline and oil. The "other" category includes any nondurable good not classified elsewhere, including such things as pencils, newspapers, shampoo, and plastic picnic spoons.

BLACK DISMALAPOD
[What's This?]
Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time strolling through a department store trying to buy either a set of steel-belted radial snow tires or a wall poster commemorating the 2000 Presidential election. Be on the lookout for slow moving vehicles with darkened windows.
