  2. Market failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_failure

    In neoclassical economics, market failure is a situation in which the allocation of goods and services by a free market is not Pareto efficient, often leading to a net loss of economic value. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The first known use of the term by economists was in 1958, [ 4 ] but the concept has been traced back to the Victorian philosopher Henry ...

  3. Coordination failure (economics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination_failure...

    In economics, coordination failure is a concept that can explain recessions through the failure of firms and other price setters to coordinate. [1] In an economic system with multiple equilibria, coordination failure occurs when a group of firms could achieve a more desirable equilibrium but fail to because they do not coordinate their decision making. [2]

  4. Failure mode, effects, and criticality analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_Mode,_Effects,_and...

    Failure mode effects and criticality analysis (FMECA) is an extension of failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA). FMEA is a bottom-up , inductive analytical method which may be performed at either the functional or piece-part level.

  5. Failure mode and effects analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_mode_and_effects...

    graph with an example of steps in a failure mode and effects analysis. Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA; often written with "failure modes" in plural) is the process of reviewing as many components, assemblies, and subsystems as possible to identify potential failure modes in a system and their causes and effects.

  6. Free-rider problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-rider_problem

    In economics, the free-rider problem is a type of market failure that occurs when those who benefit from resources, public goods and common pool resources [a] do not pay for them [1] or under-pay. Free riders may overuse common pool resources by not paying for them, neither directly through fees or tolls, nor indirectly through taxes.

  7. Survival analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival_analysis

    This example of a survival tree analysis uses the R package "rpart". [8] The example is based on 146 stage C prostate cancer patients in the data set stagec in rpart. Rpart and the stagec example are described in Atkinson and Therneau (1997), [9] which is also distributed as a vignette of the rpart package. [8] The variables in stages are:

  8. Pecuniary externality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecuniary_externality

    For example, price increases caused by market dominance or monopolistic tendencies can result in a consumer surplus and disrupt the allocation of resources. [11] Despite the potential for positive outcomes, negative pecuniary externalities can cause distortions and inefficiencies by forcing firms to exercise undue influence over markets.

  9. Government failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_failure

    Examples of government failure include regulatory capture and regulatory arbitrage. Government failure may arise because of unanticipated consequences of a government intervention, or because an inefficient outcome is more politically feasible than a Pareto improvement to it. Government failure can be on both the demand side and the supply side.
