OPEN DATA

Good (economic) 6

In economics, a good is a material that satisfies human wants[1] and provides utility, for example, to a consumermaking a purchase. A common distinction is made between 'goods' that are tangible property (also called goods) and services, which are non-physical.[2] Commodities may be used as a synonym for economic goods but often refer to marketable raw materials and primary products.[3]

Although in economic theory all goods are considered tangible, in reality certain classes of goods, such as information, only take intangible forms. For example, among other goods an apple is a tangible object, while news belongs to an intangible class of goods and can be perceived only by means of an instrument such as print, broadcast or computer.
