119 безвозвратные потери
Безвозвратные потери являются лишь одним из пагубных последствий монополии, например связанных с поиском ренты. — The dead-weight loss is only one of the harmful effects of monopoly, such as those associated with rent seeking.
потери в благосостоянии, безвозвратные — deadweight welfare loss
Конечно, безвозвратные потери в благосостоянии представляют только то, что может быть выиграно от перехода от монопольной ситуации к идеальной. — Of course, the dead-weight welfare loss represents only what can be gained from moving from a monopoly situation to an ideal situation.
Чтобы измерить потери в общественном благосостоянии, сравним значение общего излишка при монопольной цене с его же значением при конкурентной (равной предельным затратам) цене. — To measure the loss of social welfare, we compare the total surplus at the monopoly price with that at the competitive (marginal-cost) price.
Потери в благосостоянии необязательно снижаются по мере снижения эластичности спроса даже при снижении относительной наценки. — The welfare loss does not necessarily decrease with the elasticity of demand, even though the relative markup does.

120 обратная ситуация
Хотя, возможно, и естественно считать, что падение цены товара должно склонить потребителя к его покупке в большем количестве (как на рис. 3), с экономической точки зрения не исключена и обратная ситуация. — Although it may be natural to think that a fall in a good's price will lead the consumer to purchase more of it (as in Figure 3), the reverse situation is not an economic impossibility.
Основной вывод, к которому мы пришли, заключается в том, что в ситуации потребительского спроса слабая аксиома, по существу, эквивалентна скомпенсированному закону спроса - постулату о движении цен и объемов потребления в противоположных направлениях для ценовых изменений, оставляющих неизменным реальное богатство. — The central conclusion we reach is that in the consumer demand setting, the weak axiom is essentially equivalent to the compensated law of demand, the postulate that prices and demanded quantities move in opposite directions for price changes that leave real wealth unchanged.
