Economic efficiency

Рентабельность (экономическая эффективность)

 

A major goal of almost all societies is economic efficiency, or using scare resources to produce as much as possible of desired goods and services.

Основной целью  большинства обществ является экономическая  эффективность, или использование  ограниченных ресурсов для производства наибольшего количества желательных  товаров и услуг.

 This goal represents the practical economist in action, confronting scarcity with self-interested, maximizing behaviour.

Эта цель символизирует  практичного экономиста в действии, противостоящего нехватке, со своекорыстным, максимизирующим поведением.

Economic efficiency means not only producing goods as cheaply as possible in terms of opportunity cost, but also choosing the most desirable output combination on the production possibilities frontier.

Экономическая эффективность  обозначает не только производство товаров  так дёшево насколько возможно в  условиях альтернативной стоимости, но так же выбор самой желаемой комбинации выпуска продукции на грани производственных возможностей.
