EURO: The denomination of the so-called single currency that is designed to integrate economic and monetary policies for the European Union. The euro will contain paper currency (banknotes) and metal coins and will replace the European Currency Unit that is presently used for commercial and financial transactions. While that plans are to introduce this single currency with paper and coins in 2002, no one knows for sure if the euro will completely replace national currencies (British pound, French franc, etc.) for transactions within each nation. The paper currency will come in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500 euros and the metal coins will come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 cents, as well as 1 euro and 2 euros.

MONOPOLY PROFIT: Economic profit generated as a result of a firm's market control. It's termed monopoly profit as a reflection of the most prominent market structure with market control--monopoly. However, any market structure with market control, including oligopoly and monopolistic competition, can generate monopoly profit. The existence of monopoly profit is a clear-cut indication that a firm is NOT efficiently allocating resources. While having market control in no way guarantees that a firm will receive monopoly profit, there's no way for a firm to obtain monopoly profit WITHOUT market control. As economic profit, monopoly profit is over and above a normal profit. See also | profit | entrepreneurship | monopoly | market control | factor payments | accounting profit | economic profit | normal profit | economic rent | rent seeking | oligopoly | monopolistic competition |

VARIABLE INPUT An input whose quantity can be changed in the time period under consideration. The most common example of a variable input is labor. Variable inputs provide the means used by a firm to control short-run production. The alternative to variable input is fixed input. A fixed input, like capital, provides the capacity constraint in production. As larger quantities of a variable input, like labor, are added to a fixed input like capital, the variable input becomes less productive, which is the law of diminishing marginal returns.
