Talk:Ripple effect

Latest comment: 7 years ago by ExpertIdeasBot in topic Dr. Murphy's comment on this article

Uh. What? "Ripple Effect" is a common analogy in philosophy, and does not originate from a rather insignificant stemming variant thereof to describe incentives and disincentives specific to a classroom setting. This entire article is absurd. Complete rewrite, etc, etc. --24.183.39.164 (talk) 15:20, 14 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Rewrite edit

Agreeing with the above observations I have rewritten the page for future expansion (better examples for starters ;-). Any additions relating to the use of Ripple effect in a name/title will need to meet Wikipedia's requirements for notability and verifiability for inclusion.

Dr. Murphy's comment on this article edit

Dr. Murphy has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:


In the UK, the ripple effect in house prices refers to the tendency for house prices to rise initially in London and the South East of England (where housing supply is less elastic) and then ripple out over time to the rest of the UK in response to a positive housing demand shock. The rises in house prices tend to be smaller, the more a region is from London and the South East.


We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.
