1. Bien inferior: En teoría del consumidor, un bien inferior es un bien cuya demanda decrece
cuando aumenta la renta del consumidor, a diferencia de los bienes normales, en los cuales
ocurre lo contrario.
Inferior good: In consumer theory, an inferior good is a good whose demand decreases
with increasing consumer income, unlike normal goods, where the opposite is true.
Opportunity cost: The opportunity cost is understood that cost incurred when making a
decision and not another. Is the value or utility that is sacrificed by choosing an alternative
A and B. Take despise an alternative path means that waiving the benefit offered by the
discarded path; in any decision made there is an implicit renunciation of profit or benefits
could have obtained if he had taken any other decision. For every situation there is always
more than one way to approach it, and each form offers greater or lesser value than the others,
therefore, provided that one or another decision is made, it will have given up the
opportunities and possibilities offered by others, that they may be better or worse
3. Costo marginal: El costo marginal se define como la variación en el costo total, ante el
aumento de una unidad en la cantidad producida, es decir, es el costo de producir una unidad
adicional, matemáticamente se expresa como la derivada parcial del costo total respecto a la
cantidad:
CMg = ∂CT / ∂Q
Marginal cost: The marginal cost is defined as the change in total cost, before the one-unit
increase in the quantity produced, ie, is the cost of producing an additional unit,
mathematically expressed as the partial derivative of the total cost with respect the amount:
CMg = ∂CT / ∂Q
Elasticity: The elasticity is an economic concept introduced by the British economist Alfred
Marshall, from physics to quantify the variation (which may be positive or negative)
experienced by a variable to change another. To understand the economic concept of
elasticity we must proceed from the existence of two variables, among which there is a certain
dependency, such as the number of cars sold and the price of cars, or gross domestic product
and interest rates. The elasticity measures the sensitivity of quantity of cars sold before the
price change thereof, or in the second case the sensitivity of GDP to changes in interest rates.
That is why the elasticity can be understood or defined as the percentage change in a variable
X in relation to a Y. Variable If the percentage change in the dependent variable Y is greater
than the independent variable X is said that the relationship is elastic as the dependent
variable Y varies as much as that of the variable X. Conversely, if the percentage change in
the variable X is greater than Y, the relationship is inelastic
Circular flow of income: The circular flow of income is a model used to explain a very
simplified form the basic functioning of economic activity. This model will help us
understand among those who exchange, ie, those involved in the economy occurs and what
it is these exchanges
Breakeven consumer: consumer equilibrium is called the point at which a consumer reaches
its optimum utility or satisfaction of goods and services purchased, given the limitations of
income and prices. This is based on the assumption that consumers try to get the maximum
utility of their purchases assuming the existence of competition among potential elements to
consume. The equilibrium is reached when the consumer buys the range of products that best
suits your requirements satisfaction given their financial constraints (distribute your budget
acquiring products that optimize their utility function).
8. Rendimientos decrecientes: En economía, la ley de los rendimientos decrecientes (o ley
de proporciones variables, principio de productividad marginal decreciente o retornos
marginales decrecientes) es la disminución del incremento marginal de la producción a
medida que se añade un factor productivo, manteniendo los otros constantes.
Marginal rate of substitution: The marginal rate of substitution (or Replacement Index)
indicates the rate at which a consumer is willing to trade a particular good for another in order
to maintain the same level of utility. On a map of indifference curves, and for each
combination of x and y, the marginal rate of substitution is given by the slope of the
indifference curve passing through the point representing this combination of goods
El Conocimiento de una segunda lengua se hace indispensable cada día, y más aún con la
globalización de la economía.
Los términos relacionados son básicos para el estudio de la microeconomía, y constituyen un factor
fundamental para el avance del proceso de aprendizaje.
Como futuros profesionales, debemos interesarnos cada día por enriquecer nuestro vocabulario y
a la vez familiarizarnos con su traducción al idioma inglés, necesario en cualquier área que nos
desempeñemos.
