REGULATION: Government rules or laws that control the activities of businesses and consumers. The motivation for regulation is that businesses are inclined to do things that are harmful to the public--actions which need to be prevented or otherwise controlled. Regulation is essentially an extension of government's authority to protect one member of society from another. It tends to take one of two forms--(1) industry regulation that's intended to prevent firms from gaining and abusing excessive market control and (2) social regulation that seeks to protect consumers for problems caused by pollution, unsafe products, and the lack of information (market failure).

INVESTMENT DEMAND CURVE: A graphical depiction of the negative relation between investment expenditures and the interest rate, based on the marginal efficiency of investment for different capital investment projects. This curve is derived by plotting, from high to low, the marginal efficiency of investment for all possible capital investment projects. Because firms select those projects with returns greater than the interest rate on financial capital, this marginal efficiency of investment curve traces out the investment demand curve.
