AMEX: The common abbreviation for the American Stock Exchange, which is one of three national stock markets in the United States (see National Association of Securities Dealers and New York Stock Exchange) that trade ownership shares in corporations. In terms of daily stock transactions and the number of stocks listed, the American Stock Exchange is the smallest of these three. However, it's composite index of stock prices -- AMEX is considered important enough to be flashed briefly on the nightly news.

STAGES OF PRODUCTION: The three stages of production characterized by the slope and shape of the total product curve. The first stage is characterized by an increasingly positive slope. The second stage by a decreasingly positive slope. And the third stage by a negative slope. Because the slope of the total product curve IS marginal product, these three stages are also seen with marginal product. In Stage I, marginal product is positive and increasing. In Stage II, marginal product is positive, but decreasing. And in Stage III, marginal product is negative. See also | short-run production | total product | marginal product | average product | law of diminishing marginal returns | increasing marginal returns | decreasing marginal returns |
