An economic assessment of the highly controversial issue of body image within the global fashion industry, along the lines of Alfred Marshall s supply demand model. Modelnomics illustrates the tendency for models to gain value by way of salary, from marked losses in weight.

Graphical Representation Given the competitive nature of the global fashion industry, particularly in relation to model size, price or value of models is ultimately determined by an equalization of food intake required for said models survival and food intake required to remain a viable competitor in the modeling industry. This of course assumes the economic principle of ceteris paribus or, all else being equal, such that the implications of a model s health, metabolism or access to food are considered irrelevant or negligible. The effects of factors such as income may be illustrated via a shift in curves. http 3.bp.blogspot.com u3JBOEsV00Y S3tmGX8MhTI AAAAAAAAEKQ JZTw2 Br EY s1600 h modelnomics.jpg File Modelnomics.jpg The supply curve represents the amount of food intake that industry professionals would permit a model to consume in order to maintain a certain value, ceteris paribus.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Orphan date August 2008 In economics , the Hicks Marshall laws of derived demand assert that, ceteris paribus other things equal , the own wage elasticity economics elasticity of demand for a category of labor is high under the following conditions When the price elasticity of demand for the product being produced is high scale effect . So when final product demand is elastic, an increase in wages will lead to a large change in the quantity of the final product demanded affecting employment greatly. When other factors of production can be easily substituted for the category of labor substitution effect . When the supply of other factors of production is highly elastic that is, usage of other factors of production can be increased without substantially increasing their prices substitution effect . That is, employers cannot easily replace labor as doing so will lead to a large increase in other factor prices making it useless. When the cost of employing the category of labor is a large share of the total costs of production scale effect The Hicks Marshall is named for economists John Hicks from The Theory of Wages , 1932 and Alfred Marshall from Principles of Economics Marshall Principles of Economics , 1890 .

An ordinary good is a microeconomics microeconomic concept used in consumer theory . It is defined as a Good economics and accounting good which creates increased demand when the price for the good drops or conversely decreased demand if the price for the good increases, ceteris paribus . It is the opposite of a Giffen good . Since the existence of Giffen goods outside the realm of economic theory is still contested, the pairing of Giffen goods with ordinary goods has gotten less traction in economics textbooks than the pairing normal good inferior good used to distinguish responses to income changes. The usage of ordinary good is still useful since it allows a simple representation of price and income changes. A normal good is always ordinary, while an ordinary good can be either normal or inferior.

In the science s, an experimentum crucis English language English crucial experiment or critical experiment is an experiment capable of decisively determining whether or not a particular hypothesis or theory is superior to all other hypotheses or theories whose acceptance is currently widespread in the scientific community. In particular, such an experiment must typically be able to produce a result that rules out all other hypotheses or theories if true, thereby demonstrating that under the conditions of the experiment i.e. , Ceteris paribus under the same external circumstances and for the same input variables within the experiment , those hypotheses and theories are proven false but the experimenter s hypothesis is not ruled out . Francis Bacon in his Novum Organum first described the concept of a situation in which one theory but not others would hold true, using the name instantia crucis the phrase experimentum crucis , denoting the deliberate creation of such a situation for the purpose of testing the rival theories, was later coined by Robert Hooke and then famously used by Isaac Newton . The production of such an experiment is considered necessary for a particular hypothesis or theory to be considered an established part of the body of scientific knowledge. It is not unusual in the history of science for theories to be developed fully before producing a critical experiment. A given theory which is in accordance with known experiment but which has not yet produced a critical experiment is typically considered worthy of exploration in order to discover such an experimental test.

The Wealth and Poverty of Nations ISBN 0 393 04017 8 , published in 1998 with an epilogue added to the 1999 paperback edition , is a book by David Landes , currently Emeritus Professor of Economics and former Coolidge Professor of History at Harvard University . In it, Landes explains the European Miracle , or why European societies experienced a period of explosive growth when the rest of the world did not. In doing so, he revives, at least in part, several theories he believes have been unfairly discarded by academics over the last 40 years. Among them The cultural thesis or Protestant work ethic of Max Weber The Hydraulic empire hydraulic thesis or Oriental Despotism thesis of Karl A. Wittfogel The climate thesis that posits that tropical climes are, ceteris paribus , poor candidates for development. Many of the theories of Adam Smith , whose Wealth of Nations is borrowed from for the title. But this does not necessarily mean a doctrinaire neoclassical economics neoclassicism , as Landes notes that comparative advantage can change over time, and also that developed countries, contrary to neoclassical theory, typically developed in an environment of protectionism against foreign trade. He also spends a good deal of time in the effort to debunk claims that this miracle did not happen, was not significant, or was financed by European colonialism. In short, he argues that the vast economic growth of Industrial Revolution was no accident that several qualities of Europe its climate, political competition, attitude towards science and religion, etc and especially certain countries in Europe firstly England , but also to an extent the Netherlands , with other countries left to copy their advances with varying degrees of success Criticism and response Critics have charged Landes with Eurocentrism in his analysis, a charge which Landes himself does not deny in fact, he embraces it explicitly, arguing that an explanation for an economic miracle that happened originally onl ... more details

Social geometry is a theoretical strategy of Sociology sociological explanation , invented by sociologist Donald Black sociologist Donald Black , which uses a multi dimensional model to explain variations in the behavior of social life. In Black s own use and application of the idea, social geometry is an instance of Pure sociology Pure Sociology . Variables While social geometry might entail other elements as well or instead , Black s own explanation of the model includes five variable aspects horizontal morphological the extent and frequency of interaction among participants , vertical the unequal distribution of resources , corporate the degree of organization, or of integration of individuals into organizations , cultural the amount and frequency of symbolic expressions , and Norm sociology normative the extent of previously being the target of social control . Black refers to this multi dimensional amalgam as social space . Precursors Each element of Black s model is arguably an extension of part of something earlier in sociology . For example, vertical space is reminiscent of Marxism Marxist concerns, morphological of mile Durkheim , and cultural perhaps of Pierre Bourdieu . However, several aspects of Black s approach differ from those previous theorists. First, they emphasized a largely unidimensional model Marx, for example, emphasized solely economic status and derivatives of it, from base to superstructure while Durkheim and Alfred Weber Weber de emphasized economic differentiation. Second, by including multiple dimensions, Black s model allows for consideration of each variable while holding others constant. That is, the theoretical propositions hold under a condition of ceteris paribus , a probabilistic approach characteristic of science generally and contrary to the general Sociology History cleavage of sociology between purported determinism determinists and those who are anti scientific.

Advertising elasticity of demand or simply advertising elasticity , often shortened to AED is an elasticity economics elasticity measuring the effect of an increase or decrease in advertising on a market. ref name PindyckRubinfeldPage405to407 Pindyck Rubinfeld 2001 . pp.405 407. ref ref name Png66 Although traditionally considered as being positively related, demand for the good that is subject of the advertising campaign can be inversely related to the amount spent if the advertising is negative. Definition Good advertising will result in a positive shift in demand for a good. AED is used to measure the effectiveness of this strategy in increasing demand versus its cost. ref name Curran Mathematically, then, AED measures the percentage change in the quantity of a good demanded induced by a given percentage change in spending on advertising in that sector ref name Curran Curran 1999 . pp.182 183. ref math AED frac mbox change in quantity demanded mbox change in spending on advertising frac Delta Q d Q d Delta A A math In other words, the percentage by which sales will increase after a 1 increase in advertising expenditure assuming all other factors remain equal ceteris paribus . ref name Png66 AED is usually positive. ref name Curran Negative advertising may, however, result in a negative AED. Applications AED can be used to make sure advertising expenses are in line, though an increase in demand may not be the only desired outcome of advertising. ref name Curran The rule of thumb combines the AED with a known price elasticity of demand PED for the same good. The optimal relationship is denoted by ref name PindyckRubinfeldPage405to407 math frac mbox Advertising expenditure mbox Sales revenue frac AED PED mbox or, symbolically, frac A P.Q frac E A E P math In words, to maximize profit, the firm s advertising to sales ratio should be equal to minus the ratio of the advertising and price elasticities of demand. ref name PindyckRubinfeldPage405to407 As noted by Pindyck ... more details
