Deardorff's Glossary of International Economics

- X -

X-efficiency The ability of a firm to get maximum output from its inputs. Failure to do so, called X-inefficiency or technical inefficiency, may be due to lack of incentives provided by competition. Improvement in X-efficiency is one hypothesized source of gain from trade. Term is due to Leibenstein (1966).

From here on, X is for Experimental. Since I don't yet have many terms to define that begin with X, I'm using most of this page to record and try out various pieces of HTML code.

To access symbols in HTML, use the "symbol" face with the font tag, as follows:

By the Letters

By the numbers

Or you can do it by the numbers. Put &#xxx; in place of the character, where xxx is one of the numbers in the table below. In that case you'll get the symbol shown in the table.

Example: Write <font face="symbol">&#34;</font>
Get"
(Without the font tag, &#xxx; will just get you the ascii character. This useful for a few of them that cannot be gotten from the keyboard. See the second table below.)
