  2. Measurement in economics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_in_economics

    A fixed-price value measure is used to measure changes in quality and quantity. True to its name, prices are kept fixed for a minimum of two measuring situations. For this reason, it is possible to define the changes in quality and quantity of a most varied and wide range of commodities, keeping apart the changes in income distribution.

  3. Scale analysis (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_analysis_(mathematics)

    Scale analysis anticipates within a factor of order one when done properly, the expensive results produced by exact analyses. Scale analysis rules as follows: Rule1-First step in scale analysis is to define the domain of extent in which we apply scale analysis. Any scale analysis of a flow region that is not uniquely defined is not valid.

  4. Methodology of econometrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methodology_of_Econometrics

    Econometrics may use standard statistical models to study economic questions, but most often they are with observational data, rather than in controlled experiments. [10] In this, the design of observational studies in econometrics is similar to the design of studies in other observational disciplines, such as astronomy, epidemiology, sociology and political science.

  5. Cost estimate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_estimate

    An order-of-magnitude estimate is prepared when little or no design information is available for the project. It is called order of magnitude because that may be all that can be determined at an early stage. In other words, perhaps we can only determine that it is of a 10,000,000 magnitude as opposed to a 1,000,000 magnitude.

    The former Weights and Measures office in Seven Sisters, London Units of measurement, Palazzo della Ragione, Padua. A unit of measurement, or unit of measure, is a definite magnitude of a quantity, defined and adopted by convention or by law, that is used as a standard for measurement of the same kind of quantity.

  7. Law of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_demand

    A change in demand is indicated by a shift in the demand curve. Quantity demanded, on the other hand refers to a specific point on the demand curve which corresponds to a specific price. A change in quantity demanded therefore refers to a movement along the existing demand curve. However, there are some exceptions to the law of demand.

  9. Quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantity

    The magnitude of an intensive quantity does not depend on the size, or extent, of the object or system of which the quantity is a property, whereas magnitudes of an extensive quantity are additive for parts of an entity or subsystems. Thus, magnitude does depend on the extent of the entity or system in the case of extensive quantity.
