Cross elasticity of demandIn economics, the cross (or cross-price) elasticity of demand measures the effect of changes in the price of one good on the quantity demanded of another good. This reflects the fact that the quantity demanded of good is dependent on not only its own price (price elasticity of demand) but also the price of other "related" good. The cross elasticity of demand is calculated as the ratio between the percentage change of the quantity demanded for a good and the percentage change in the price of another good, ceteris paribus:The sign of the cross elasticity indicates the relationship between two goods.
Offre groupéeIn marketing, product bundling is offering several products or services for sale as one combined product or service package. It is a common feature in many imperfectly competitive product and service markets. Industries engaged in the practice include telecommunications services, financial services, health care, information, and consumer electronics. A software bundle might include a word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation program into a single office suite.
Monopoly profitMonopoly profit is an inflated level of profit due to the monopolistic practices of an enterprise. Traditional economics state that in a competitive market, no firm can command elevated premiums for the price of goods and services as a result of sufficient competition. In contrast, insufficient competition can provide a producer with disproportionate pricing power. Withholding production to drive prices higher produces additional profit, which is called monopoly profits.
Marché contestableLe marché contestable est un marché sur lequel la concurrence potentielle (la « menace » d’entrée d’une entreprise concurrente) garantit les prix concurrentiels, même si le marché est en réalité dominé par une seule ou par plusieurs entreprises. Ce modèle théorique a été énoncé par les économistes William Baumol, John Panzar et Robert Willig en 1982.
