English term or phrase: scarcity value
Definition from Wikipedia:
Scarcity value is the economic factor that increases an item's relative price based more upon its relatively low supply. Whereas the prices of newly-produced manufactured products depends mostly on the cost of production (the cost of inputs used to produce them, which in turn reflects the scarcity of the inputs), the prices of many goods -- such as antiques, rare stamps, and those raw materials in high demand -- reflects the scarcity of the products themselves.

Example sentence(s):
  • The improving economic situation makes up for fairly small borrowing needs increasing the scarcity value for Sweden’s triple-A bonds Incisive Media Ltd.
  • Then there is the simple fact that about ten times more apartments have been built than villas since 2002, so villas have a scarcity value as well as being perceived as the better lifestyle choice. Axia Fx
  • If it's common for a company to miss a profits forecast, then, by definition, it's unusual for a company rarely to miss a forecast. Such a company, therefore, has a scarcity value and its shares should be sought-after. The Financial Times Limited

niukkuusarvo


Definition from own experience or research:
Niukkuusarvo on taloudellinen tekijä, joka lisää tuotteen suhteellista hintaa, jos tuotetta on suhteellisen vähän tarjolla. Esimerkiksi antiikkiesineiden ja harvinaisten postimerkkien hinta on korkea niiden niukan tarjonnan vuoksi.

Example sentence(s):
  • Onneksi, meitä valaistaan, tästä ahdingosta on keino ulos: ”vuokranantajan eutanasia ja sen seurauksena kapitalistin kumulatiivisen epäoikeudenmukaisuuden voiman eutanasia pääoman niukkuusarvon hyväksikäytössä” (ibid.: 376, 221). Varmasti he ansaitsevat tällaisen kohtalon. - Talouden perusteet  
  • Tavanomaiset politiikkasuositukset joutavat yleisinä sääntöinä romukoppaan ns. second best maailmassa. Tämä on sinänsä tiedetty jo pitkään. Kuitenkin vasta hiljattain 2.best maailman salat ovat avautuneet kaikessa laajuudessaan. 2.best maailmassa hinnat eivät välttämättä heijasta niukkuusarvoja. - STM
