AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS: An association of university and college faculty established in 1915 to protect academic freedom. Commonly abbreviated AAUP, this association is the closest thing university faculty have to a labor union. While it does engage in some collective bargaining functions with specific universities, similar to traditional labor unions, its primary function is to ensure that faculty maintain intellectual or academic freedom from political of social pressures.

Saving is a nonconsumption use of income, making a loan or supplying income to the financial markets in exchange for a legal claim.- The red financial markets box is a third set of aggregate markets.
- The green flow is saving supplied to the financial markets. It is income diverted from the household sector.
Why save?- To get paid. Interest is the payment for using income.
- Income is needed later more than now. Income is set aside this year to buy more production next year.
Saving does not disappear, it is income diverted away from the consumption flow and supplied, or loaned, to the financial markets.

The market price facing a perfectly competitive firm is also average revenue and, most important, marginal revenue.
