t. e. The idea of convergence in economics (also sometimes known as the catch-up effect) is the hypothesis that poorer economies ' per capita incomes will tend to grow at faster rates than richer economies. In the Solow-Swan model, economic growth is driven by the accumulation of physical capital until this optimum level of capital per worker ...
Economic graph. The social science of economics makes extensive use of graphs to better illustrate the economic principles and trends it is attempting to explain. Those graphs have specific qualities that are not often found (or are not often found in such combinations) in other sciences. The supply and demand model describes how prices vary as ...
Comparative statics is commonly used to study changes in supply and demand when analyzing a single market, and to study changes in monetary or fiscal policy when analyzing the whole economy. Comparative statics is a tool of analysis in microeconomics (including general equilibrium analysis) and macroeconomics.
The Solow–Swan model or exogenous growth model is an economic model of long-run economic growth. It attempts to explain long-run economic growth by looking at capital accumulation, labor or population growth, and increases in productivity largely driven by technological progress. At its core, it is an aggregate production function, often ...
Convergence rate definitions. Suppose that the sequence converges to the number . The sequence is said to converge with order to and with a rate of convergence if. for some positive constant if and if . [2][4][5] If the sequence converges but then other more technical rate definitions are called for. [6] This definition is technically called Q ...
Accommodative convergence is that portion of the range of inward rotation of both eyes (i.e., convergence) that occurs in response to an increase in optical power for focusing by the crystalline lens (i.e., accommodation). [1] When the human eye engages the accommodation system to focus on a near object, signal is automatically sent to the ...
Mathematical optimization. Graph of a surface given by z = f (x, y) = − (x ² + y ²) + 4. The global maximum at (x, y, z) = (0, 0, 4) is indicated by a blue dot. Nelder-Mead minimum search of Simionescu's function. Simplex vertices are ordered by their values, with 1 having the lowest ( best) value. Mathematical optimization (alternatively ...
Production–possibility frontier. In microeconomics, a production–possibility frontier (PPF), production possibility curve (PPC), or production possibility boundary (PPB) is a graphical representation showing all the possible options of output for two goods that can be produced using all factors of production, where the given resources are ...
