RESERVATION PRICE: The lowest price at which a supplier is willing to supply any amount of a good. This is usually based on the minimum cost of production. For labor, it's the lowest wage that makes it worthwhile to get up in the morning, miss your favorite daytime television shows, and go to work.

SUBSTITUTE-IN-PRODUCTION: One of two goods that can replace each other in production--that is, using resources to produce one good prevents their use in the other. A substitute good is one of two alternatives falling within the other prices determinant of supply. The other is complement-in-production. An increase in the price of one substitute-in-production causes a decrease in supply of the other.

ARC ELASTICITY

The average elasticity for discrete changes in two variables. The distinguishing characteristic of arc elasticity is that percentage changes are calculated based on the average of initial and ending values of each variable, rather than initial values. Arc elasticity is generally calculated using the midpoint elasticity formula. The contrast to arc elasticity is point elasticity. For infinitesimally small changes in two variables, arc elasticity is the same as point elasticity.
