  • Arbitrage [r]: transactions to take advantage of a price differences of a product in different markets by buying where it is cheap and selling where it is dear. The possibility of arbitrage often prevents the occurrence of price differences. [e]
  • Asset price bubble [r]: The condition of an asset market in which price is governed by speculators' expectations that it will increase. [e]
  • Asymmetric shock [r]: Add brief definition or description

  • Basis point [r]: (bp) one hundredth of a percentage point . [e]
  • Beveridge curve [r]: A curve (convex when viewed from the origin) showing a relationship between vacancies and unemployment. [e]
  • Bubble (economics) [r]: A surge in prices that raises expectations of further increases, so generating further increases: a process that continues until confidence falters, the bubble "bursts" and prices rapidly revert to an objectively-based level. [e]
  • Budget balance [r]: the difference between a central government's revenue and its expenditure in a given financial year. Conventions differ concerning the items that are included, and various cyclical adjustments can be made to identify its discretionary element.. [e]
