medløbereffekt


Definition from Business Danmark:
Når markedet for alvor begynder at bevæge sig i Tyskland, vil der være en stor medløbereffekt, hvilket naturligvis vil give et yderligere pres på priserne.

Example sentence(s):
  • Styrkelsen af SEK tilskrives således hovedsageligt en medløbereffekt, oplyser markedsdeltageren. - NP Investor Danmark  
  • Det giver den medløbereffekt som får aktier til at stige med en eksponentiel kurve med kraftigere stigning end indtjeningen. - Information Danmark  
  • (Karina Pedersen, adjunkt ved Institut for Statskundskab på Københavns Universitet) Hun forklarer, at der selvfølgelig er en medløber effekt, når et parti som de radikale får et prædikat som værende »de smartes parti«, men at folk naturligvis også melder sig ind, fordi de gerne vil have en reel politisk indflydelse. - Foreningen Historie og Samfundsfag  

Explanation:
Prisen opfattes som kvalitetsindikator; Snob-effekt; Medløber-effekt; Forventning om yderligere prisstigning.
