This glossary is written primarily for use by undergraduate students of economics, however, upper level students, as well as instructors of economics, may also find it useful. A more advanced glossary for researchers is Peter B. Meyer's Online Glossary of Research Economics, which complements ours. Also check the Concise Encyclopedia of Economics provided by the Library of Economics and Liberty.

This is a beta version of the glossary. The glossary currently includes mostly microeconomics terms. For macroeconomics terms, we recommend John B. Taylor's Macroeconomics Glossary.
