  2. Multiplier (economics) - Wikipedia

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

    In macroeconomics, a multiplier is a factor of proportionality that measures how much an endogenous variable changes in response to a change in some exogenous variable. For example, suppose variable x changes by k units, which causes another variable y to change by M × k units.

  3. Optimality model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimality_model

    To break the shell of the mollusk, the crows fly and drop the whelks on rocks. Reto Zach constructed an optimality model to predict the optimal height at which crows drop the whelks. [17] The benefit in this model is the success rate of cracking the whelk's shell, while the primary cost is the energy spent flying.

  4. Accelerator effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerator_effect

    The accelerator effect is shown in the simple accelerator model. This model assumes that the stock of capital goods (K) is proportional to the level of production (Y): K = k×Y. This implies that if k (the capital-output ratio) is constant, an increase in Y requires an increase in K. That is, net investment, I n equals: I n = k×ΔY

  5. Multiplier-accelerator model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplier-accelerator_model

    This model was developed by Paul Samuelson, who credited Alvin Hansen for the inspiration. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] This model is based on the Keynesian multiplier , which is a consequence of assuming that consumption intentions depend on the level of economic activity, and the accelerator theory of investment , which assumes that investment ...

    An economic model is a theoretical construct representing economic processes by a set of variables and a set of logical and/or quantitative relationships between them. The economic model is a simplified, often mathematical , framework designed to illustrate complex processes.

    A diagram of the Ripple effect illustrating how the "Weinstein Scandal" led all the way to the rise of the Me Too movement.A ripple effect occurs when an initial disturbance to a system propagates outward to disturb an increasingly larger portion of the system, like ripples expanding across the water when an object is dropped into it.

    Also called resource cost advantage. The ability of a party (whether an individual, firm, or country) to produce a greater quantity of a good, product, or service than competitors using the same amount of resources. absorption The total demand for all final marketed goods and services by all economic agents resident in an economy, regardless of the origin of the goods and services themselves ...

  9. Economic graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_graph

    The supply and demand model describes how prices vary as a result of a balance between product availability and demand. The graph depicts an increase (that is, right-shift) in demand from D 1 to D 2 along with the consequent increase in price and quantity required to reach a new equilibrium point on the supply curve (S).
