  2. Trough (economics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trough_(economics)

    In economics, a trough is a low turning point or a local minimum of a business cycle. The time evolution of many economics variables exhibits a wave-like behavior with local maxima (peaks) followed by local minima (troughs). A business cycle may be defined as the period between two consecutive peaks. [1] [2]

  3. Foster–Greer–Thorbecke indices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foster–Greer–Thorbecke...

    The Foster–Greer–Thorbecke indices are a family of poverty metrics.The most commonly used index from the family, FGT 2, puts higher weight on the poverty of the poorest individuals, making it a combined measure of poverty and income inequality and a popular choice within development economics.

  4. Robinson Crusoe economy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson_Crusoe_economy

    A Robinson Crusoe economy is a simple framework used to study some fundamental issues in economics. [1] It assumes an economy with one consumer, one producer and two goods. The title "Robinson Crusoe" is a reference to the 1719 novel of the same name authored by Daniel Defo

  6. Pass-through (economics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pass-through_(economics)

    In addition to the absolute pass-through that uses incremental values (i.e., $2 cost shock causing $1 increase in price yields a 50% pass-through rate), some researchers use pass-through elasticity, where the ratio is calculated based on percentage change of price and cost (for example, with elasticity of 0.5, a 2% increase in cost yields a 1% increase in price).

  7. Income inequality metrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_inequality_metrics

    In the discrete case, an economic inequality index may be represented by a function I(x), where x is a set of n economic values (e.g. wealth or income) x={x 1,x 2,...,x n} with x i being the economic value associated with "economic agent" i.

  8. Cost curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_curve

    In economics, a cost curve is a graph of the costs of production as a function of total quantity produced. In a free market economy, productively efficient firms optimize their production process by minimizing cost consistent with each possible level of production, and the result is a cost curve.

  9. Törnqvist index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Törnqvist_index

    Usually, that share doesn't change much; e.g. food expenditures across a million households might be 20% of income in one period and 20.1% the next period. In practice, Törnqvist indexes are often computed using an equation that results from taking logs of both sides, as in the expression below which computes the same P t {\displaystyle P_{t ...
