Factor marketIn economics, a factor market is a market where factors of production are bought and sold. Factor markets allocate factors of production, including land, labour and capital, and distribute income to the owners of productive resources, such as wages, rents, etc. Firms buy productive resources in return for making factor payments at factor prices. The interaction between product and factor markets involves the principle of derived demand. A firm’s factors of production are gotten from its economic activities of supplying goods or services to another market.
Market socialismMarket socialism is a type of economic system involving social ownership of the means of production within the framework of a market economy. Various models for such a system exist, usually involving some mix of public, cooperative, and privately owned enterprises. The central idea is that, as in capitalism, businesses compete for profits, however they will be "owned, or at least governed," by those who work in them. Market socialism differs from non-market socialism in that the market mechanism is utilized for the allocation of capital goods and the means of production.
Market structureMarket structure, in economics, depicts how firms are differentiated and categorised based on the types of goods they sell (homogeneous/heterogeneous) and how their operations are affected by external factors and elements. Market structure makes it easier to understand the characteristics of diverse markets. The main body of the market is composed of suppliers and demanders. Both parties are equal and indispensable. The market structure determines the price formation method of the market.
Bargaining powerBargaining power is the relative ability of parties in an argumentative situation (such as bargaining, contract writing, or making an agreement) to exert influence over each other. If both parties are on an equal footing in a debate, then they will have equal bargaining power, such as in a perfectly competitive market, or between an evenly matched monopoly and monopsony.
Nominal rigidityIn economics, nominal rigidity, also known as price-stickiness or wage-stickiness, is a situation in which a nominal price is resistant to change. Complete nominal rigidity occurs when a price is fixed in nominal terms for a relevant period of time. For example, the price of a particular good might be fixed at $10 per unit for a year. Partial nominal rigidity occurs when a price may vary in nominal terms, but not as much as it would if perfectly flexible. For example, in a regulated market there might be limits to how much a price can change in a given year.
Assouplissement quantitatifL'assouplissement quantitatif (, abrégé par QE dans cet article) désigne un type de politique monétaire par laquelle une banque centrale rachète massivement de la dette publique ou d'autres actifs financiers afin d'injecter de l'argent dans l'économie et de stimuler la croissance. La banque centrale rachète aux acteurs financiers en principe des titres de dettes, notamment des obligations publiques (titres de dette publique) ou privées (obligations d'entreprise), et, dans certaines circonstances des titres adossés à des actifs comme des titres hypothécaires.
Price elasticity of supplyThe price elasticity of supply (PES or Es) is a measure used in economics to show the responsiveness, or elasticity, of the quantity supplied of a good or service to a change in its price. Price elasticity of supply, in application, is the percentage change of the quantity supplied resulting from a 1% change in price. Alternatively, PES is the percentage change in the quantity supplied divided by the percentage change in price. When PES is less than one, the supply of the good can be described as inelastic.
Économie de marchéUne économie du marché est un système économique fondé sur des échanges économiques effectuées directement par les individus de manière décentralisée dans un contexte où l'Etat intervient peu ou pas du tout. L'économie de marché est donc un modèle où les décisions de produire, d'échanger et d'allouer des biens et services rares sont déterminées majoritairement à l'aide d'informations résultant de la confrontation de l'offre et de la demande telle qu'établie par le libre jeu du marché.
Elasticity of a functionIn mathematics, the elasticity or point elasticity of a positive differentiable function f of a positive variable (positive input, positive output) at point a is defined as or equivalently It is thus the ratio of the relative (percentage) change in the function's output with respect to the relative change in its input , for infinitesimal changes from a point . Equivalently, it is the ratio of the infinitesimal change of the logarithm of a function with respect to the infinitesimal change of the logarithm of the argument.
Libre marchéUn libre marché est un marché dans lequel les transactions (prix, quantités, mesures...) entre acheteurs et vendeurs sont déterminées seulement par leur consentement mutuel. Cela exclut que l'une des parties obtienne la conclusion du marché par contrainte ou par tromperie ; cela exclut également l'intervention d'un tiers pour forcer ou empêcher le marché : notamment, cela limite l'intervention des pouvoirs publics à l'application des droits de propriétés, respect des contrats et vérification du consentement.
Choc d'offreUn choc d'offre est en macroéconomie un événement soudain qui fait augmenter ou diminuer temporairement l'offre pour les biens et services. Un choc d'offre positif fait augmenter l'offre ; un choc d'offre négatif fait diminuer l'offre. Le choc d'offre est donc une variation imprévue des conditions de production qui affecte les producteurs. Les chocs d'offre négatifs ont un impact contracyclique sur la croissance, les chocs de demande étant procycliques.
Fiscal policyIn economics and political science, fiscal policy is the use of government revenue collection (taxes or tax cuts) and expenditure to influence a country's economy. The use of government revenue expenditures to influence macroeconomic variables developed in reaction to the Great Depression of the 1930s, when the previous laissez-faire approach to economic management became unworkable.
