Növekedésétl

Növekedésétl is a hypothetical term used in theoretical discussions of growth dynamics. It denotes a transitional phase during which the growth rate accelerates after a triggering stimulus, before resource constraints eventually slow expansion. The term is not part of standard economic or biological lexicons and is used here as a conceptual device to illustrate how external or internal feedbacks can temporarily boost growth.

In proposed models, növekedésétl is associated with positive feedback mechanisms such as learning effects, innovation spillovers, network externalities, or capital deepening. These mechanisms raise the effective growth rate g(t) after a threshold is crossed, creating a boom-like interval before saturation or resource limits set in. The concept is closely related to, yet distinct from, acceleration or boom phases; it emphasizes temporally bounded surges rather than continuous exponential growth.

Applications of the idea appear in discussions of technology diffusion, urban development, or ecological population dynamics, where a short-lived growth acceleration can shift trajectories or tipping points. Critics argue that as a coined term, növekedésétl risks conflating generic growth bursts with a defined structural phenomenon, and that empirical validation is challenging due to data noise and model dependence.

Limitations include lack of standardized definition, varying operationalizations, and potential misinterpretation as a separate regime rather than a phase within existing growth models. See also: growth, growth rate, logistic growth, boom and bust, tipping point.
