- Economies of scale [r]: The factors that cause the cost of production of a product to fall as output of the product is increased. [e]
- Elasticity [r]: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Elasticity (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.

- Elasticity of substitution [r]: The percentage change in the ratio of the amounts of two products that is demanded that is caused by a unit percentage change in the ratio of their unit prices. [e]
- Giffen good [r]: An "inferior product" for which the amount demanded falls when its price falls (because the increase in income resulting from the price reduction prompts the consumer to switch expenditure to a more expensive product). [e]
- Income effect [r]: The tendency of the demand for a product to change in response to a change in its price because the price change has the effect of changing the consumer's income. [e]
- Income elasticity of demand [r]: The percentage change in the demand for a product that is caused by a unit percentage change in consumers' incomes. [e]

- Producer surplus [r]: The excess of the revenue that a producer gets from the sale of a product over the minimum that he would be willing to accept for it. [e]
- Substitution effect [r]: The tendency of consumers to switch spending to or from a product in response to a change in its price relative to that of a substitute. [e]
- Veblen good [r]: A product, the demand for which increases when its price increases because consumers obtain more satisfaction from more expensive products. [e]
- Walras' law [r]: The sum of the excess demands in all of the markets in a closed economy is equal to zero. [e]
- Wieser's law [r]: The costs of production under competitive conditions are a reflection of the value of the alternatives which are displaced. [e]
