  2. Real and nominal value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_and_nominal_value

    Real value takes into account inflation and the value of an asset in relation to its purchasing power. In macroeconomics, the real gross domestic product compensates for inflation so economists can exclude inflation from growth figures, and see how much an economy actually grows.

  3. Real economy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_economy

    In the neoclassical school of economics, the classical dichotomy dictates that real and nominal values in the economy can be analysed distinctly. Thus, the real sector value is determined by an actor's tastes and preferences and the cost of production, while the monetary sector only plays the part of influencing the price level, so in this simplified example the role of the supply and demand ...

  4. Economic power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_power

    Economic power refers to the ability of countries, businesses or individuals to improve living standards. It increases their ability to make decisions on their own that benefit them. Scholars of international relations also refer to the economic power of a country as a factor influencing its power in international relations. [1]

    The downward slope can be explained as the result of three effects: the Pigou or real balance effect, which states that as real prices fall, real wealth increases, resulting in higher consumer demand of goods; the Keynes or interest rate effect, which states that as prices fall, the demand for money decreases, causing interest rates to decline ...

  6. Market power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_power

    Measuring market power is inherently complex because the most widely used measures are sensitive to the definition of a market and the range of analysis. Magnitude of a firm's market power is shown by a firm's ability to deviate from an elastic demand curve and charge a higher price (P) above its marginal cost (C), commonly referred to as a ...

  7. Money illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_illusion

    In economics, money illusion, or price illusion, is a cognitive bias where money is thought of in nominal, rather than real terms. In other words, the face value (nominal value) of money is mistaken for its purchasing power (real value) at a previous point in time.

  8. Purchasing power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purchasing_power

    So, by definition, the purchasing power of a dollar decreases as the price level rises. Adam Smith used an hour's labour as the purchasing power unit, so value would be measured in hours of labour required to produce a given quantity (or to produce some other good worth an amount sufficient to purchase the same).

  9. Real versus nominal value (philosophy) - Wikipedia

    Traction power networks routinely operate well above the nominal voltage, but still within the tolerance. For example, a streetcar traction power could be rated 600 ±10% volts nominal, but the actual overhead line voltage would normally be close to 660 volts, only dropping near the nominal value in exceptional conditions.
