QUÉ SIGNIFICA UTILITY EN INGLÉS

Utilidad

Utility

Utilidad, o utilidad, es la capacidad de algo para satisfacer necesidades o deseos. La utilidad es un concepto importante en economía y teoría de juegos, porque representa la satisfacción experimentada por el consumidor de un bien. No por casualidad, un bien es algo que satisface las necesidades humanas y proporciona utilidad, por ejemplo, a un consumidor que hace una compra. Se reconoció que no se puede medir directamente el beneficio, la satisfacción o la felicidad de un bien o servicio, por lo que los economistas han ideado formas de representar y medir la utilidad en términos de opciones económicas que pueden ser contadas. Los economistas han intentado perfeccionar métodos sumamente abstractos para comparar las utilidades observando y calculando las opciones económicas. En el sentido más simple, los economistas consideran que la utilidad se revela en la disposición de las personas a pagar cantidades diferentes por bienes diferentes.

Utility, or usefulness, is the ability of something to satisfy needs or wants. Utility is an important concept in economics and game theory, because it represents satisfaction experienced by the consumer of a good. Not coincidentally, a good is something that satisfies human wants and provides utility, for example, to a consumer making a purchase. It was recognized that one can not directly measure benefit, satisfaction or happiness from a good or service, so instead economists have devised ways of representing and measuring utility in terms of economic choices that can be counted. Economists have attempted to perfect highly abstract methods of comparing utilities by observing and calculating economic choices. In the simplest sense, economists consider utility to be revealed in people's willingness to pay different amounts for different goods.
