Artificial demand constitutes demand for something that, in the absence of exposure to the vehicle of creating demand, would not exist. It has controversial applications in microeconomics (pump and dump strategy) and advertising. A demand is usually seen as artificial when it increases consumer utility very inefficiently; for example, a physician prescribing unnecessary surgeries would create artificial demand. Government spending with the primary purpose of providing jobs (rather than deliverying any other end product) has been labelled "artificial demand".〔(【引用サイトリンク】year= 2008 )〕 Similarly Noam Chomsky has suggested that unchecked militarism is a type of government-created artificial demand, a "system of state planning () oriented toward military production, in effect, the production of high technology waste.",〔(Chomsky Quote )〕 with military Keynesianism or a powerful military industrial complex amounts to the "creation of state-guaranteed markets for high technology waste (armaments)."〔(Chomsky: Our System Depends on Arms Race )〕〔(On Power and Ideology by Noam Chomsky, page 106 )〕〔(Noam Chomsky: Language and Politics By Noam Chomsky, Carlos Peregrín Otero page 614 )〕〔( Pirates and Emperors, Old and New: International Terrorism in the Real World By Noam Chomsky, page xi )〕〔( The Culture of Terrorism By Noam Chomsky, page 26 )〕 Vehicles of creating artificial demand can include mass media advertising, which can create demand for goods, services, political policies or platforms, and other entities. Another example of artificial demand can be seen in penny stock spam. After purchasing a large number of shares of an extremely low-value stock, the spammer attempts to create artificial demand by implementing a spam-based guerrilla marketing strategy. ==See also== * Planned obsolescence * Artificial scarcity * Pump and dump 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Artificial demand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
