GREEN LOGIGUIN
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who is logical and rational, reasonable and analytical, judicious and sensible, even to the point of aggravation. Family and friends are tired of you using the phrases "on the one hand" and "other the other hand". Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time browsing through a long list of dot com websites looking to buy either handcrafted decorations to hang on your walls or throw pillows for your bed. Be on the lookout for the last item on a shelf. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter U, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 607135. Your preferred shopping venue is strip malls. Your special symbol is the equal sign (=).
Is this You?
As a Green Logiguin, you seek a balance in life and your market activities. You are logical and reasonable, always seeking to weigh costs and benefits, pros and cons, ups and downs, ins and outs, goods and bads. You are the embodiment of yin and yang. You know that there are two sides to every story and every market exchange. Sometimes you buy. Sometimes you sell. You search out the best deals, with the highest quality and lowest price.
This isn't me! What am I?

ARC ELASTICITY The average elasticity for discrete changes in two variables. The distinguishing characteristic of arc elasticity is that percentage changes are calculated based on the average of initial and ending values of each variable, rather than initial values. Arc elasticity is generally calculated using the midpoint elasticity formula. The contrast to arc elasticity is point elasticity. For infinitesimally small changes in two variables, arc elasticity is the same as point elasticity.

Pumping Up The ECONOMIC GROWTHWe need to pay another visit to Scarcity Stan's Ye Olde Bakery Shoppe and Confectionery Palace. But this is not a social visit, nor is intended for some delectable pastries that will add a few extra pounds to our waistlines. We're here on official economic business. Stan's at wits end. He doesn't know what to do. There's been so much demand for his economic pie, what with society's unlimited wants and needs, that he needs to make it bigger. Our job is to figure out how. While we're doing that, we'll also see how to put our economy on the path to economic growth.
