Talk:Intermediate good

Should we keep the image with four charts?

Two things:

• I tried fixing the display of the image showing four charts of imports and exports of different categories of goods. It correctly rendered in the preview, but it doesn't show in the article after I saved the change. I'm not sure if it's a bug or something about the way the image is saved or referenced in MediaWiki.
• Should we retain this image? While it shows some information about intermediate goods imported and exported from China and the US to ASEAN countries, it doesn't seem to add meaningful information to the article. I say we remove the image.

Merger proposal

I propose to merge Intermediate product into Intermediate good. I'm quite certain that they're essentially the same topic, and intermediate product is basically a dictionary definition with no added value; there's no information on that page which isn't already covered by Intermediate good, so the merge would come down to simply turning Intermediate product into a redirect. Any thoughts? Lennart97 (talk) 12:48, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

I have performed the merge. Lennart97 (talk) 13:05, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Needs clearer definition

Does a good have to physically make it into the final consumer good product to be considered an intermediate good? The chlorine example would suggest not, so then are industrial machines used on the factory floor, the factory real estate itself, or even the electricity used in manufacture of consumer goods not also intermediate goods?
