All About Economic Efficiency

Hi all,
 

Economists focus a lot on the notion of efficiency, or maximizing the amount of value created, so I figured that I would give you some articles that explain what exactly what this means in various ways and show what types of markets are considered efficient and inefficient.  Also, look for a bunch of new articles at the end of this week!

Cheers,
Jodi
