  2. Slack variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slack_variable

    Slack variables give an embedding of a polytope into the standard f-orthant, where is the number of constraints (facets of the polytope). This map is one-to-one (slack variables are uniquely determined) but not onto (not all combinations can be realized), and is expressed in terms of the constraints (linear functionals, covectors).

  3. Free surface effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_surface_effect

    A liquid hitting a wall in a container will cause sloshing. The free surface effect is a mechanism which can cause a watercraft to become unstable and capsize. [1]It refers to the tendency of liquids — and of unbound aggregates of small solid objects, like seeds, gravel, or crushed ore, whose behavior approximates that of liquids — to move in response to changes in the attitude of a craft ...

  4. Output gap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_gap

    The GDP gap or the output gap is the difference between actual GDP or actual output and potential GDP, in an attempt to identify the current economic position over the business cycle. The measure of output gap is largely used in macroeconomic policy (in particular in the context of EU fiscal rules compliance). The GDP gap is a highly criticized ...

  5. Economic efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_efficiency

    In microeconomics, economic efficiency, depending on the context, is usually one of the following two related concepts: [1] Allocative or Pareto efficiency : any changes made to assist one person would harm another.

  6. Fiscal multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiscal_multiplier

    This finding is consistent with research suggesting that in today’s environment of substantial economic slack, monetary policy constrained by the zero lower bound, and synchronized fiscal adjustment across numerous economies, multipliers may be well above 1. [11]

  7. Data envelopment analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_envelopment_analysis

    Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a nonparametric method in operations research and economics for the estimation of production frontiers. [1] DEA has been applied in a large range of fields including international banking, economic sustainability, police department operations, and logistical applications [2] [3] [4] Additionally, DEA has been used to assess the performance of natural language ...

  8. Zero-profit condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-profit_condition

    The relevant variables are p, w, x, and f(x). p is the price of the output, w is the price of the input, f(x) is the amount of output, and x is the amount of input.Thus, the profit-function can be written as the following:

  9. Float (project management) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_(project_management)

    subsequent tasks ("free float") project completion date ("total float"). Total float is associated with the path. [2]: 508 [1]: 183 If a project network chart/diagram has 4 non-critical paths, then that project would have 4 total float values. The total float of a path is the combined free float values of all activities in a path.
