English term

scarcity value

GBK English to Hebrew Bus/Financial Economics
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 sentences:
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)

ערך נדירות

Definition from Maot:
השווי המתווסף למחיר המוצר כתוצאה מכמות מוגבלת שלו. הנדירות יכולה להיות טבעית או לנבוע מנסיבות ייחודיות (למשל, מים בעת בצורת) או מהגבלה מכוונת (למשל, בגד יוצא דופן שהיצרן מגבילו ביודעין).
Example sentences:
מדובר במלאי מצומצם ביותר של דירות, שהינן בעלות ערך נדירות - אי אפשר לשכפל את הרחובות השקטים של תל אביב. (Haskala)
שלא כמו בערך אספני, סחורות בעלות ערך נדירות נועדות לעתים קרובות למסחר ולשמירת ערך, ויש להן שוק רחב כמו לכל סחורה אחרת. (Maot)
