A Lexicon of Economics

Kenyon A. Knopf

in Elsevier Monographs from Elsevier, currently edited by Candice Janco

Abstract: A Lexicon of Economics compiles definitions and abbreviations of many commonly used economic terms and concepts. This book begins by providing a list of abbreviations, acronyms, and foreign phrases, followed by the definition of economic terms that are organized into alphabetical order. This compilation aims to address two difficulties in the idiom of economics—first is the exact use of a very specific definition for a common word that has many diverse meanings in everyday usage, and secondly, the interpretation of acronyms and abbreviations frequently used in economic and financial discussions. This monograph is suitable for professionals who want a handy, clear explanation of the economic terms they hear or read everyday.

Keywords: economic terms; foreign phrases; financial terms; idiom of economics; financial discussions (search for similar items in EconPapers)
