In [[economics]] and [[accounting scholarship|accounting]], ''economic depreciation'' is seen as the change in the ''market'' value of [[capital (finance)|capital]] over a given period. It is calculated as the market price of the capital at the beginning of the period minus its market price at the end of the period.
