"A monopolist may be X-inefficient either because it does not have an incentive to be more efficient due to lack of competition or it does not have the opportunity to observe and learn from other more efficient firms in the industry. In an industry high profits may imply high prices due to x-inefficiency. However, excess profits do not necessarily mean that consumers are paying higher prices. And, lack of excess profit does not necessarily indicate competition or cost efficiency." Leibenstein, Harvey. 1966. "Allocative Efficiency vs. 'X-Efficiency'," American Economic Review 56, (June), pp. 392-415

I like the blog Dan! You choose a very cool layout!
I'll link it to mine, if you don't mind.
Feel free to link it to your page (I should link you guys' to mine as well!!)
Again, I won't do as much updating as you guys though!!

Anybody knows how to add a "section" to the left hand side of my blog for links to other pages?
Seems like my template doesn't have this "feature", but I'm sure that I can make it happen with some HTML coding.
