Subject field(s)
  • Pricing Theory
  • Foreign Trade
CONT

Since people place a positive value on leisure, it is clearly inappropriate to assume that there is zero opportunity cost in employing labour which would otherwise be unemployed. Rather, the correct shadow price of this labour is its supply price, that is, that wage which is just sufficient to get it to work. One might suppose that the supply price of unemployed labour will be functionally related to the level of unemployment insurance benefits and to the average duration of unemployment.

Theoretical studies have shown the potential scientific value of multi-spacecraft radio tomographic imaging of the magnetosphere. The <10 RE WIND perigee passes during August 2000 afforded a unique opportunity to test and verify the capabilities of radio tomography by measuring interspacecraft electromagnetic wave propagation parameters using the Radio Plasma Imager(RPI) on IMAGE as the transmitter and the WAVES instrument on WIND as the receiver....

English

Subject field(s)
  • Financial and Budgetary Management
  • Economic Planning
DEF

A discounted measure of project worth. The present worth of the net benefits divided by the present worth of the investment. A form of benefit-cost ratio. Calculated by taking the net benefits as the net present worth of the incremental net benefit (cash flow) stream in those years after the stream has turned positive, and the investment, as the present worth of the incremental net benefit (cash flow) stream in the early years of a project when it is negative.

CONT

When using the net benefit-investment ratio, the selection criterion is to accept all projects with a net benefit-investment ratio of 1 or greater when discounted at a suitable discount rate, most often the opportunity cost of capital, in order of ratio value until all available investment funds are exhausted. May be used to rank independent projects. Generally cannot be used directly to choose among mutually exclusive alternatives.

DEF

Esta es una medida actualizada del valor del proyecto. Es el valor actual de los beneficios netos divididos por el valor actual de la inversión. Es una forma de la relación beneficios-costos. Se calcula tomando los beneficios netos con el valor neto actual de la corriente de beneficios incrementales netos (flujo de fondos) en aquellos años después de que la corriente se ha vuelto positiva, y la inversión como el valor actual de la corriente de beneficios incrementales netos en los primeros años de un proyecto cuando es negativa.

CONT

Cuando se utiliza la relación inversión-beneficio neto, el criterio de selección es aceptar todos los proyectos con una relación inversión-beneficio neto de uno o mayor cuando se actualiza a una tasa de actualización adecuada, con mucha frecuencia el costo de oportunidad del capital, en orden de valor de relación hasta que quedan agotados todos los fondos disponibles de inversión. Puede utilizarse para clasificar proyectos independientes. En general, no se puede utilizar en forma directa para elegir entre opciones mutuamente excluyentes.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Economic Planning
DEF

Price reflecting relative value to be assigned to inputs and outputs if the economy is to produce the maximum value of physical output efficiency.

DEF

An economic value used in economic analysis that reflects the opportunity cost or value in use of a good or service used or produced by a project. It may be a market price or shadow price.

CONT

Efficiency prices are the values used in economic analysis when the objective is to maximize national income (the objective assumed in this glossary). Hence, economic analysis done using efficiency prices is sometimes called "efficiency analysis". When the objective of a project is something other than national income (as might be the case in analyses that formally incorporate income distribution or savings objectives), the efficiency price may be adjusted by an appropriate distribution weight.

DEF

Es un valor económico utilizado en el análisis económico que refleja el costo de oportunidad o el valor en uso de un bien o servicio utilizado o producido por un proyecto. Puede ser un precio de mercado o un precio de cuenta. Los precios de eficiencia son los valores utilizados en el análisis económico cuando el objetivo es maximizar el ingreso nacional. Por consiguiente al análisis económico que se hace utilizando precios de eficiencia se le llama en ocasiones «análisis de eficiencia». Cuando el objetivo de un proyecto es algo diferente del ingreso nacional (como pudiera ocurrir con los análisis que incorporan formalmente objetivos de la distribución del ingreso o el ahorro), el precio de eficiencia se puede ajustar por una ponderación de la distribución apropiada.
