This text explores the concept of economic value through the lens of consumer surplus, which is an essential measure in economics. It delves into the utility function that indexes preferences and discusses how changes in economic conditions can be evaluated using consumer surplus. Two key measures, willingness to pay (WTP) and willingness to accept compensation (WTAC), are examined in detail, alongside the necessary conditions like reflexivity and compensation principles. Understanding these measures is crucial for evaluating economic welfare and making informed policy decisions.
