PERCEPTION: How a person interprets the sensual inputs received through seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching. This process requires the individual to select, organize, and decode the various stimuli surrounding him/her in the environment. The important thing is not what is said by the talker, but what is heard by the listener. This process is critical to understanding consumer buying behavior.

GAINS FROM TRADE

The combination of consumer surplus and producer surplus obtained by buyers and sellers when engaging in a market exchange. Gains from trade arise because buyers are typically willing and able to pay a higher price to purchase a good than what they end up paying and because sellers are typically willing and able to accept a lower price to sell a good than what they end up receiving. Both sides of the market exchange are thus better off, have a net gain in welfare, by making the trade. While all types of market exchanges generate gains from trade, this topic is perhaps most important for an understanding of international trade.
