A fact from Kinked demand appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 24 April 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that in economics, the kinked demand curve theory was the first attempt at explaining sticky prices?

Meaning[edit]

I'm sorry but I started to read this and it makes no sense whatsoever.

I realise that anyone coming here looking for this may know a little about the subject, but surely this could be made a little more reader-friendly for the rest of us?

Suggestions?[edit]

Are there any suggestions on how this could be made more friendly to the casual reader?

i think it can be made more reader friendly by giving examples such as this type of model applies to FMCG s such as pepsi and lays. . . Radhika Asrani BetsyWalls 00:02, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So what's the "Chicago theory"?[edit]

The quote in the criticism section says:

Stigler also asserts that the model is unnecessary because Chicago theory already included allowances for short-run sticky prices due to collusion, menu costs, and regulatory or bureaucratic inefficiencies in markets

So what is this "Chicago theory"? I couldn't find a WP article about it, but I believe it would benefit the casual reader if more information was available on what it means.

Image[edit]
