  In this paper, we study good semigroups of \mathbb{N}^n, a class of
semigroups that contains the value semigroups of algebroid curves with n
branches. We give the definition of embedding dimension of a good semigroup
showing that, in the case of good semigroups of \mathbb{N}^2, some of its
properties agree with the analogue concepts defined for numerical semigroups.
