Hermann Heinrich Gossen
Hermann Heinrich Gossen (7 September 1810 – 13 February 1858) was a German economist who is often regarded as the first to elaborate, in detail, a general theory of marginal utility. Prior to Gossen, a number of economic theorists, including Gabriel Cramer, Daniel Bernoulli, William Forster Lloyd, Nassau William Senior, and Jules Dupuit had employed or asserted the significance of some notion of marginal utility. But Cramer, Bernoulli, and Dupuit had focussed upon specific problems, Lloyd had not presented any applications of theory, and if Senior provided a detailed elaboration of the general theory he had developed, he had done so in language that caused his applications of theory to be missed by most readers. Life and family background Hermann Heinrich Gossen was born in Düren, Roer (department) (Roerdépartement, or Département de la Roer), First French Empire. Today that area is known as North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Hermann died in Cologne (Köln), North Rhine-W ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gossen's Laws
Gossen's laws, named for Hermann Heinrich Gossen (1810–1858), are three laws of economics: * Gossen's First Law is the "law" of diminishing marginal utility: that marginal utilities are diminishing across the ranges relevant to decision-making. * Gossen's Second Law, which presumes that utility is at least weakly quantified, is that in equilibrium an agent will allocate expenditures so that the ratio of marginal utility to price (marginal cost of acquisition) is equal across all goods and services. :\frac=\frac\,\forall\left(i,j\right) :where :* U is utility :* x_i is quantity of the i-th good or service :* p_i is the price of the i-th good or service * Gossen's Third Law is that scarcity is a precondition for economic value. See also * Marginalism Marginalism is a theory of economics that attempts to explain the discrepancy in the value of goods and services by reference to their secondary, or marginal, utility. It states that the reason why the price of diamonds is high ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Franz Müller-Gossen (1871 – 16 March 1946) was a German painter from Mönchengladbach, Germany. He studied in Düsseldorf and is known for realistic maritime paintings showing sailing ships and steamships, sailing the high seas or by in bad weather conditions. Although he did not receive any fame while living, maritime art connoisseurs in Europe and in the United States recently grew interested in his works.
