  • 68 оптимальность по Парето

    Концепция оптимальности по Парето предлагает минимально непротиворечивый тест, который должен выдержать любой общественно оптимальный экономический исход. Говорят, что экономический исход оптимален по Парето, если улучшение благосостояния одних индивидов невозможно без ухудшения положения других. Эта концепция является одной из формализаций представления о том, что в обществе нет потерь; она удобно отделяет проблему экономической эффективности от более спорных (и политических) вопросов идеального распределения благосостояния по индивидам. — The concept of Pareto optimality offers a minimal and uncontroversial test that any social optimal economic outcome should pass. An economic outcome is said to be Pareto optimal if it is impossible to make some individuals better off without making some other individuals worse off. This concept is a formalization of the idea that there is no waste in society, and it conveniently separates the issue of economic efficiency from more controversial (and political) questions regarding the ideal distribution of well-being across individuals.
