 Economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This includes observable forms of economic activity: money, consumption, preferences, buying, selling, prices etc. Some of the models are simple accounting models, while others postulate specific kinds of economic behavior, such as utility or profit maximization.

 Consumption: a key concept in Economics
The growth mechanism of consumption-income will also provide State revenue through income taxes.
Third, for exactness' sake, one should distinguish "consumption" as use of goods and services from "consumption expenditure" as buying acts.
To the extent firms decide to invest forecasting future demand and comparing it with present production capacity, an increase of consumption may induce new investment.

 Consumption Tax, by Al Ehrbar: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
The one objection to a consumption tax that is based on pure economics is that it would require a higher tax rate in order to raise the same revenue as the income tax.
A consumption tax—also known as an expenditures tax, consumed-income tax, or cash-flow tax—is a tax on what people spend instead of what they earn.

 RRojas Databank: The Róbinson Rojas Archive.-Introduction to macroeconomics.- Glossary
The consumption of capital is recognized as a cost of production and an allowance for this is made before net profit is arrived at.
These are not included as costs in the accountant's measure of profit which therefore does not correspond to this economic definition of profits.

 H-Net Review: Robin Hermann on The Character of Credit: Personal Debt in English Culture, 1740-1914
But arguments against imprisonment for debt had been advanced in the economic literature as early as the 1670s; surely at least some of the energy for reform could have developed as merchants and retailers became increasingly aware that imprisonment for debt impeded the correct functioning of credit rather than enabling it.
Finn correctly identifies the notion of an individual whose economic activities privileged communal goals--however that community was defined--over personal fulfillment as one of the crucial components of a moral as opposed to a market economy.
Finn's analysis of credit and debt in the imaginative and autobiographical literature of the period reveals conceptions of the individual, society, and the market that differ radically from, even oppose, those argued for in contemporaneous economic literature.

 Sustainable Economics, Effective Conservation Uses Durability
Otherwise the need to keep all human labor busy with paid work will make sustainable economics impossible.
As we might have expected, now that we have machines we don't need everyone's full labor, but the existence of surplus labor has been obscured because we have been able to consume and waste enough to keep most workers busy, so far.
Without the use of demand stimulation, war, and other methods of increasing waste, there will be a shortage of paid work in any efficient automated economy.

 HEALTH ECONOMICS PROGRAM
Cigarette excise tax hikes, which result in higher cigarette prices, are one possible tool to discourage smoking.
Hence, the decision to quit depends not only on the cost of cigarettes but also on the cost of techniques that enable smokers to quit.
While I report here on a good deal of new research in this important area, I also summarize studies focusing on the economics of obesity; the roles of such basic economic forces as years of formal schooling completed, unemployment, and welfare reform in health outcomes; and the determinants of the cost of medical care.

This book extends research in consumption economics by identifying similarities and differences in consumption patterns in a large number of countries, both developed and less developed.
Its approach is to carefully analyze a large body of data from a highly diverse group of countries to determine the extent to which a simple economic framework can be used to understand and explain consumer behavior.
