  2. Parable of the broken window - Wikipedia

    These tendencies could in theory lead to longer-term economic benefits (which may cause GDP growth). [8] [11] There is some evidence that geological disasters do more economic harm than climate-related disasters, in the long term. Geological disasters, such as landslides and earthquakes, happen with little immediate warning and kill many people ...

  3. Shift-share analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift-share_analysis

    A shift-share analysis takes the change over time of an economic variable, such as employment, within industries of a regional economy, and divides that change into various components. A traditional shift-share analysis splits regional changes into just three components, but other models have evolved that expand the decomposition into ...

  4. Solow residual - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solow_residual

    The Solow growth model is a model of economic development into which the Solow residual can be added exogenously to allow predictions of GDP growth at differing levels of productivity growth. The Balassa–Samuelson effect describes the effect of variable Solow residuals: it assumes that mass-produced traded goods have a higher residual than ...

    An economic theory that defines wealth by the amount of precious metals owned. [48] business cycle. Also called the economic cycle or trade cycle. The downward and upward movement of gross domestic product (GDP) around its long-term growth trend.

    The definition of the glass and the glass transition are not settled, and many definitions have been proposed over the past century. [ 23 ] Franz Simon : [ 24 ] Glass is a rigid material obtained from freezing-in a supercooled liquid in a narrow temperature range.

  7. Chemical decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_decomposition

    Chemical decomposition, or chemical breakdown, is the process or effect of simplifying a single chemical entity (normal molecule, reaction intermediate, etc.) into two or more fragments. [1] Chemical decomposition is usually regarded and defined as the exact opposite of chemical synthesis. In short, the chemical reaction in which two or more ...

  8. Decomposition of time series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decomposition_of_time_series

    In policy analysis, forecasting future production of biofuels is key data for making better decisions, and statistical time series models have recently been developed to forecast renewable energy sources, and a multiplicative decomposition method was designed to forecast future production of biohydrogen. The optimum length of the moving average ...

  9. Slutsky equation - Wikipedia

    Note that since utility is not observable, the substitution effect is not directly observable. Still, it can be calculated by referencing the other two observable terms in the Slutsky equation. This process is sometimes known as the Hicks decomposition of a demand change. [2] The equation can be rewritten in terms of elasticity:
