This page compares the properties of several typical utility functions of divisible goods.These functions are commonly used as examples in consumer theory.. The functions are ordinal utility functions, which means that their properties are invariant under positive monotone transformation.
Fair item allocation is a kind of the fair division problem in which the items to divide are discrete rather than continuous. The items have to be divided among several partners who potentially value them differently, and each item has to be given as a whole to a single person. [1] This situation arises in various real-life scenarios:
A classic example of the inefficiency caused by non-excludability is the tragedy of the commons (which Hardin, the author, later corrected to the 'tragedy of the unmanaged commons' because it is based on the notion of an entirely rule-less resource) where a shared, non-excludable, resource becomes subject to over-use and over-consumption, which ...
Market size and demographics: The size of the market and its demographics can also influence the Law of Demand. Changes in population size, age distribution, and income levels can affect the overall demand for goods or services, thus impacting the relationship between price and quantity demanded. Demand refers to the demand curve. A change in ...
As used in biology, the indifference curve is a model for how animals 'decide' whether to perform a particular behavior, based on changes in two variables which can increase in intensity, one along the x-axis and the other along the y-axis. For example, the x-axis may measure the quantity of food available while the y-axis measures the risk ...
All-commodity volume (ACV) is a weighted measure of product availability, or distribution, based on total store sales. In other words, ACV is the percentage of sales in all categories that are generated by the stores that stock a given brand (again, at least one SKU of that brand) (note: ACV can be expressed as a percentage or as a dollar value (total sales of stores carrying brand).
In economics, an Edgeworth box, sometimes referred to as an Edgeworth-Bowley box, is a graphical representation of a market with just two commodities, X and Y, and two consumers. The dimensions of the box are the total quantities Ω x and Ω y of the two goods. Let the consumers be Octavio and Abby.
The most common type of market basket is the basket of consumer goods used to define the Consumer Price Index (CPI), often called the consumer basket. It is a sample of goods and services, offered at the consumer market. In the United States, the sample is determined by Consumer Expenditure Surveys conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. [1]
