[ 1 ] The idea was introduced simultaneously into macroeconomics in two separate papers by Jess Benhabib , Richard Rogerson , and Randall Wright (1991); [ 2 ] and Jeremy Greenwood and Zvi Hercowitz (1991).

  3. Corner solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corner_solution

    For instance, from the example above in economics, if the maximal utility of two goods is achieved when the quantity of goods x and y are (−2, 5), and the utility is subject to the constraint x and y are greater than or equal to 0 (one cannot consume a negative quantity of goods) as is usually the case, then the actual solution to the problem ...

  4. Real prices and ideal prices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_prices_and_ideal_prices

    The distinction between real prices and ideal prices is a distinction between actual prices paid for products, services, assets and labour (the net amount of money that actually changes hands), and computed prices which are not actually charged or paid in market trade, although they may facilitate trade. [1]

  5. Price elasticity of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_demand

    This situation is typical for goods that have their value defined by law (such as fiat currency); if a five-dollar bill were sold for anything more than five dollars, nobody would buy it [unless there is demand for economical jokes], so demand is zero (assuming that the bill does not have a misprint or something else which would cause it to ...

  6. Cross elasticity of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_elasticity_of_demand

    Cross elasticity of demand of product B with respect to product A (η BA): = / / = > implies two goods are substitutes.Consumers purchase more B when the price of A increases. Example: the cross elasticity of demand of butter with respect to margarine is 0.81, so 1% increase in the price of margarine will increase the demand for butter by 0.81

  7. High value products - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_value_products

    semi-processed products, such as fresh and frozen meats, flour, vegetable oils, roasted coffee, refined sugar; highly processed products that are ready for the consumer, such as milk, cheese, wine, breakfast cereals; high-value unprocessed products that are also often consumer-ready, such as fresh and dried fruits and vegetables, eggs, and nuts.

  8. Real and nominal value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_and_nominal_value

    The real value is the value expressed in terms of purchasing power in the base year. The index price divided by its base-year value / gives the growth factor of the price index. Real values can be found by dividing the nominal value by the growth factor of a price index. Using the price index growth factor as a divisor for converting a nominal ...

  9. Supply and demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

    Supply chain as connected supply and demand curves. In microeconomics, supply and demand is an economic model of price determination in a market.It postulates that, holding all else equal, the unit price for a particular good or other traded item in a perfectly competitive market, will vary until it settles at the market-clearing price, where the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied ...
