One example of the inhibition model, and the priority effect, occurs in South Australia. In areas where bryozoans are established first, tunicates and sponges cannot grow. [13] The inhibition model has also been observed at work in forest ecosystems; in these systems the early arrivers hold a monopoly on the land, keeping other species out.
One implication of the Williamson model is that the gains from cost reduction do not have to be "large" in order to outweigh the losses that result from higher prices. [4] This is because the welfare losses associated with the latter tend to be "second-order" (graphically, they are triangles), while the gains tend to be "first-order" (rectangles).
In simultaneous play, all people harvest at the same time, whereas in sequential play people harvest from the pool according to a predetermined sequence – first, second, third, etc. [102] There is a clear order effect in the latter games: the harvests of those who come first – the leaders – are higher than the harvest of those coming ...
Welfare economics is a field of economics that applies microeconomic techniques to evaluate the overall well-being (welfare) of a society.

No, Mr. Monopoly didn't have a monocle — it's just one example of a false memory that many of us share, an expert says. The Mandela effect: 10 examples that explain what it is and why it happens ...
The grey rectangle is a measure of the amount of economic welfare transferred from the workers to their employer(s) by monopsony power. The yellow triangle shows the overall deadweight loss inflicted on both groups by the monopsonistic restriction of employment. It is thus a measure of the market failure caused by monopsony.
This compares to a total of approximately 6,400 mammal species, 11,000 avian species, and 391,000 plant species (out of which 6,000 have been cultivated for food and agriculture). [ 21 ] Despite the importance of biodiversity to agriculture and its role in the global economy, the global food system is thought to be a primary driver of ...
