HOSTILE ACQUISITION: In the world of mergers, the acquisition of one company by another against the wishes of the company being acquired. Also termed a hostile takeover, this is accomplished by purchasing controlling interest in the stock of the acquired company, usually by offering to pay a price exceeding the current market price. A hostile takeover might be motivated to eliminate competition, to sell off the assets of the company for more that the takeover payment, or to temporarily inflate the price of the stock.

- This works for both the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply, because the negative value of the price elasticity of demand is ignored.
- Perfectly elastic demand and supply are represented by horizontal demand and supply curves.

The other two are real-balance effect and net-export effect.
