PricingPricing is the process whereby a business sets the price at which it will sell its products and services, and may be part of the business's marketing plan. In setting prices, the business will take into account the price at which it could acquire the goods, the manufacturing cost, the marketplace, competition, market condition, brand, and quality of product. Pricing is a fundamental aspect of product management and is one of the four Ps of the marketing mix, the other three aspects being product, promotion, and place.
Price ceilingA price ceiling is a government- or group-imposed price control, or limit, on how high a price is charged for a product, commodity, or service. Governments use price ceilings to protect consumers from conditions that could make commodities prohibitively expensive. Such conditions can occur during periods of high inflation, in the event of an investment bubble, or in the event of monopoly ownership of a product, all of which can cause problems if imposed for a long period without controlled rationing, leading to shortages.
Climate change scenarioClimate change scenarios or socioeconomic scenarios are projections of future greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions used by analysts to assess future vulnerability to climate change. Scenarios and pathways are created by scientists to survey any long term routes and explore the effectiveness of mitigation and helps us understand what the future may hold this will allow us to envision the future of human environment system. Producing scenarios requires estimates of future population levels, economic activity, the structure of governance, social values, and patterns of technological change.
Coût de transactionUn coût de transaction est l'ensemble des différents coûts en argent, en temps, en énergie liés à un processus d'échange ou de négociation. Un coût de transaction, un coût lié à un échange économique, plus précisément une transaction sur le marché. Ce coût n'est pas pris en compte dans le cadre de la concurrence pure et parfaite. Il peut être direct (commission de bourse) ou indirect (coût de prospection, temps et effort passés à la négociation et à la vérification de la transaction...).
Price fixingPrice fixing is an anticompetitive agreement between participants on the same side in a market to buy or sell a product, service, or commodity only at a fixed price, or maintain the market conditions such that the price is maintained at a given level by controlling supply and demand. The intent of price fixing may be to push the price of a product as high as possible, generally leading to profits for all sellers but may also have the goal to fix, peg, discount, or stabilize prices.
Analyse coût-avantagevignette|Exemple de graphique d'analyse coût-avantage L'analyse coût-avantage aussi connue comme analyse coût-bénéfice (anglicisme) est un terme qui renvoie tout à la fois à : une méthode formelle que l'on utilise pour aider à estimer ou évaluer le dossier monté pour un projet ou une proposition, ce dossier étant lui-même une « estimation de projet » ; une approche informelle pour prendre une décision, quelle qu'elle soit.
Uncertainty quantificationUncertainty quantification (UQ) is the science of quantitative characterization and estimation of uncertainties in both computational and real world applications. It tries to determine how likely certain outcomes are if some aspects of the system are not exactly known. An example would be to predict the acceleration of a human body in a head-on crash with another car: even if the speed was exactly known, small differences in the manufacturing of individual cars, how tightly every bolt has been tightened, etc.
