All intellectual property violates the efficiency rule that price should equal marginal cost of reproduction, which for knowledge is nearly zero.
This, in principle, leads to increased market confidence and greater price efficiency.
FORBES: All Phone Calls With Brokers In The UK Now Recorded; Coming Soon To Europe and America
But Laidler says positive loan growth and improving operating efficiency support a higher price for Unibanco.
When more people and companies get their heads around energy efficiency and sustainable living, price volatility will ease off, he says.

Furthermore, these gains are dependent on boosting efficiency, a lower polysilicon price, and thinner wafers, all factors that might not be successfully achieved.
Whereas traditional market makers promote price and market efficiency, a firm like Goldman, as an active trader for its own account, can maximize its opportunity for profits by promoting price and market inefficiency.
We are hopeful that VelociRFTA will become a model for other communities, similar to ours, which lack metropolitan density, but want urban-like speed, convenience, and efficiency, at an affordable price, in order to address their transit and mobility needs.
But over the medium and long term a higher gasoline price would encourage fuel efficiency, so people would actually end up paying less for transportation.
The retailer is looking to strengthen its position in the region by centralizing management, cuttings costs, improving operational efficiency and expanding efforts to gain price leadership.

It can't be that the Senate in passing that rule -- and you know, surely, better than I -- decided to purchase efficiency in impeachment proceedings at the price of violating the constitutional mandate to ensure a two-thirds vote for removal.
CNN: Transcript: White House Counsel Ruff's opening statement
The superior beauty and efficiency of Paris often come at the price of dynamism.
On-line data centers are increasing their capacity to deal with this increased demand for processing power, communication speeds and digital storage capacity but despite the increases in efficiency of enterprise equipment and software there is a price to pay for universal connectivity and general on-line resources.
What we are talking about here is customer service efficiency, how much value your service adds relative to the price you charge.
Perhaps all the talk of market forces, efficiency gains and higher returns will go away if the oil price recovers though, it should be said, there is little hint of that happening.
And while this never happened, Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) consumption quotas imposed by the federal and several state governments require more to be used every year, regardless of high price, negative food cost or environmental impacts and lousy efficiency.
FORBES: Too-Green-To-Fail Energy Policies Flunk Achievement Tests

Hitting the energy-efficiency targets would reduce demand for those permits, in which case their price might fall too low to encourage further investment into low-carbon technologies.
Unfortunately, these models are fundamentally flawed in being biased to favor corrosive price promotion over brand-building advertising and to favor advertising cost efficiency over sales-growth effectiveness.
FORBES: The Downside Of Marketing Mix Models Is There's No Upside For CMOs

(That building, by Richard Rogers, is a somewhat compromised version of his original design far better than the rest of Heathrow, but much less interesting than Rogers meant it to be.) These widely divergent timetables are not a matter of Chinese efficiency versus British dallying: the British, like the Americans, pay the price of democracy.
Technological improvements like energy efficiency and the demise of the Hummer have also made us less vulnerable to oil price swings.
But of course this all comes at a price and enterprises are paying for it with a seemingly endless, insatiable need for efficiency, scale and execution.
