WILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT: The price or dollar amount that someone is willing to receive or accept to give up a good or service. Willingness to accept is the source of the supply price of a good. However, unlike supply price, in which sellers are on the spot of actually giving up a good to receive payment, willingness to accept does not require an actual exchange. This concept is important to benefit-cost analysis, welfare economics, and efficiency criteria, especially Kaldor-Hicks efficiency. A related concept is willingness to pay.

INELASTIC The general relation between two variables in which relatively large changes in one variable (A) cause relatively small changes in another variable (B).

This characterization of elasticity is most important for the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply. Inelastic is one of two general elasticity relations between two variables. The other is elastic.

Or perhaps tinkering in the financial markets with penny stocks, gold futures, or silver options is more your cup of tea.

The question for today is: Are any of these get-rich-quick schemes better than buying a lottery ticket?

BLUE PLACIDOLA
[What's This?]
Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time watching infomercials looking to buy either a how-to book on the art of negotiation or a flower arrangement for your aunt. Be on the lookout for celebrities who speak directly to you through your television.
