In some cases, two separate firms are vertically integrate because one firm produces a good or service and the other distributes it.

AUTONOMOUS SAVING Household saving that does not depend on income or production (especially disposable income, national income, or even gross domestic product). That is, changes in income do not generate changes in saving.
