Infant industry argument (finance)


Argument that Industries in the developing and emerging sectors of the economy need protection against international competition in order to establish themselves.





bulk modulus (sh)




Numerical constant that describes the elastic properties of a solid or fluid under pressure from all sides.

It is the ratio of the tensile strength or compressive force per unit surface area to the change in volume per unit volume of the solid or fluid and thus is a measure of a substance's ability to resist deformation. Its units are newtons per square metre (N/m2). Matter that is difficult to compress has a large bulk modulus; for example, steel has a bulk modulus of 1.6 กม 1011 N/m2, three times that of glass (i.e., glass is three times more compressible than steel).
