price elasticity of demandとは 意味・読み方・使い方

As long as the price elasticity (changes in demand (volume) in relation to changes in price of Company A's product is not zero, the dollar based price increase will lead to lower sales volume (volume effect).例文帳に追加

A社の製品の価格弾性値（価格の変化率に対する需要（数量）の変化率）がゼロでない限り、ドル建ての製品価格の引き上げは、販売数量の減少を招くこととなる（数量効果）。 - 経済産業省

Furthermore, in recent years, supply and demand have tended to tighten, and large amounts of funds have been seen to flow into the futures market, which deals in products with a low price elasticity of demand, such as crude oil, gold and grain (see Section 1 of this chapter).例文帳に追加

さらに、近年需給がタイト化する傾向にあり、かつ、需要の価格弾力性が低い原油、金、穀物等の商品を扱う先物市場にも多額の資金が流入したものと見られる（本章第1節参照）。 - 経済産業省

There are two major factors underlying the enormous amount of inflow of money into global commodities markets. First, pension funds are suffering from low returns owing to the globally prevalent low interest rate environment that has existed since 2000, which is causing both pension fund administrators and investment bankers managing pension fund assets to increase their investments in higher risk stocks and bonds. In order to offset the risks, such administrators and investment banks are also buying commodity index funds, since they are uncorrelated with stocks and bonds. Second, since the outbreak of the U.S. sub prime loan crisis, there has been a significant shift of global capital toward safer assets, and the unbalanced demand-supply situation is expected to remain. This has caused investors to focus more on the potential of natural resources and food products, which have lower price elasticity of demand.例文帳に追加

国際商品市場に多額の資金が流入するようになった背景には、①2000年以降世界的な低金利が続くなか、運用収益の低迷に苦しむ年金基金やその運用を引き受ける投資銀行等が、よりハイリスクの株式・債券等への投資を増加させる一方で、これら株式・債券等と非相関関係にある商品インデックスを保険と位置づけて投資を行っていること、②米国サブプライム住宅ローン問題以降、世界の資金の流れが、より安全な資産へと変化するなか、中長期的に需給逼迫が持続する可能性が高く、かつ、需要の価格弾力性が低い資源・食料分野が、有望な投資先として注目されていることなどが考えられる。 - 経済産業省
