  2. Returns to scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Returns_to_scale

    For example, when inputs (labor and capital) increase by 100%, output increases by 100%. If output increases by less than the proportional change in all inputs, there are decreasing returns to scale (DRS). For example, when inputs (labor and capital) increase by 100%, the increase in output is less than 100%.

  3. Relative growth rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_growth_rate

    RGR is a concept relevant in cases where the increase in a state variable over time is proportional to the value of that state variable at the beginning of a time period. In terms of differential equations , if S {\displaystyle S} is the current size, and d S d t {\displaystyle {\frac {dS}{dt}}} its growth rate, then relative growth rate is

  4. Relative income hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_income_hypothesis

    The relative income hypothesis was developed by James Duesenberry in 1949. It consists of two separate consumption hypothesis. It consists of two separate consumption hypothesis. The first hypothesis states that an individual's attitude to consumption is dictated more by their income in relation to others than by an abstract standard of living .

  5. Convergence (economics) - Wikipedia

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

    In the Solow-Swan model, economic growth is driven by the accumulation of physical capital until this optimum level of capital per worker, which is the "steady state" is reached, where output, consumption and capital are constant. The model predicts more rapid growth when the level of physical capital per capita is low, something often referred ...

  6. Wagner's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagner's_law

    Economic: science and technology advance, consequently there is an increase of state assignments into the sciences, technology and various investment projects, etc. physical : the state resorts to government loans for covering contingencies, and thus the sum of government debt and interest amount grow; i.e., it is an increase in debt service ...

  7. Local consistency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_consistency

    This definition of arc consistency is similar to the above, but is given specific to a constraint. This difference is especially relevant for non-normalized problems, where the above definition would consider all constraints between two variables while this one considers only a specific one. Arc consistency enforced by removing 1 as a value for x2.

  8. Size consistency and size extensivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Size_consistency_and_size...

    Size consistency (or strict separability) is a property that guarantees the consistency of the energy behaviour when interaction between the involved molecular subsystems is nullified (for example, by distance). Size extensivity, introduced by Bartlett, is a more mathematically formal characteristic which refers to the correct (linear) scaling ...

  9. Relative value (economics) - Wikipedia

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

    In finance, relative value is the attractiveness measured in terms of risk, liquidity, and return of one financial asset relative to another, or for a given instrument, of one maturity relative to another. The concept arises in economics, business and investment.
