Choices
• Whenever you make a spending decision, each available choice competes with every other available choice.
• When you decide whether to spend your money, you are making an economic choice.
• Businesses make decisions daily about what to produce now, what to produce later, and what to stop producing.
• These decisions in turn affect workers’ incomes and people’s ability to buy.

Choices (cont.)
• Societies face choices about how to utilize their resources in the production of goods and services.
• Elected government representatives in the United States must decide how much to spend on defense versus higher education, for example.
• How people and societies make these choices is the focus of economics.

The Problem of Scarcity
• The need to make choices arises because everything that exists is limited.
• At any single moment, a fixed amount of resources is available.
• At the same time, people have competing uses for these resources.
• This situation results in scarcity–the basic problem of economics.

The Problem of Scarcity (cont.)
• Scarcity means that people do not have and cannot have enough income, time, and other resources to satisfy their every want.
• Scarcity should not be confused with shortages.
• Scarcity always exists because of competing alternative uses for resources. scarcity condition of not being able to have all the goods and services one wants, because wants exceed what can be
made from all available resources at any given time

Trade-Offs
trade-off sacrificing one good or service to purchase or produce another
• The economic choices people make involve exchanging one good or service for another.
• Exchanging one thing for the use of another is called a trade-off.
• Individuals, families, businesses, and societies are forced to make trade-offs every time they use their resources in one way and not another.

opportunity cost the value of the next best alternative given up for the alternative that was chosen
The Cost of Trade-Offs
• The result of a trade-off is what you give up in order to get or do something else.
• Economists call this an opportunity cost. • When you make a trade-off, you lose the
ability to engage in your next highest valued alternative.
• Therefore, an opportunity cost is always an opportunity that is given up.

Considering Opportunity Costs
• Being aware of trade-offs and their resulting opportunity costs is vital in making economic decisions at all levels.
• Businesses must consider trade-offs and opportunity costs when they choose to invest money or hire workers to produce one good rather than another.

Production Possibilities Curve
• Many businesses produce more than one product.
• This means that the company produces combinations of goods–which still results in an opportunity cost.

The Classic Example
• The classic example for explaining production possibilities in economics is the trade-off between military defense and civilian goods, sometimes referred to as guns versus butter.
• The extremes for a nation would be using all its resources to produce only one or the other.
• By using a production possibilities curve, a nation, business, or individual can decide how best to use its resources.

Introduction (cont.) • Economics is divided into two parts.
– microeconomics – macroeconomics
microeconomics the branch of economic theory that deals with behavior and decision making by small units such as individuals and firms
macroeconomics is that branch of economic theory dealing with the economy as a whole and decision making by large units such as governments

economy the production and distribution of goods and services in a society
Economic Models
• The word economy means all the activity in a nation that together affects the production, distribution, and use of goods and services.
• When studying a specific part of the economy, economists often formulate theories and gather data.
![Page 51: Splash Screen - Lesson Plans: Mr. Greg Joneslh-gjones.weebly.com/uploads/2/4/6/7/24671822/ett_chapter_01.pdf · Economics is the study of how individuals and nations make choices](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022423/5a9ff9c67f8b9a76178d78dc/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

economic model a theory or simplified representation that helps
explain and predict economic behavior in the real world
Economic Models (cont.)
• The theories that economists use in their work are called economic models, which are simplified representations of the real world.
• Solutions that emerge from testing economic models often become the basis for actual decisions by private businesses or government agencies.

What Models Show
• The purpose of economic models is to show visual representations of consumer, business, or other economic behavior.
• The production possibilities curve is an economic model that reveals opportunity cost.
• The most common economic model is a line graph explaining how consumers react to changes in the prices of goods and services.

What Models Show (cont.)
• Economic models assume that some factors remain constant.
• The constant-factor assumptions are important because economists realize that in the real world, several things may be changing at once.
• Using a model holds everything steady except the variables assumed to be related.

hypothesis an assumption involving two or more variables that must be tested for validity
Creating a Model
• Models are useful if they help us analyze the way the real world works.
• An economist begins with some idea about the way things work, then collects facts and discards those that are not relevant.
• The economist can test this theory, or model, in the same way that other scientists test a hypothesis.

Applying Models to Real Life
• Much of the work of economists involves predicting how people will react in a particular situation.
• Individual human behavior is not always predictable, though.
• As a result, an economist’s predictive model may not apply under different conditions.

Schools of Economic Thought
• Economists deal with facts.
• Their personal opinions and beliefs may nonetheless influence how they view those facts and fit them to theories.
• The government under which an economist lives also shapes how he or she views the world.
• As a result, all economists will not agree that a particular theory offers the best solution to a problem.

Schools of Economic Thought (cont.)
• Throughout American history, many economists have stressed the importance of government maintaining “hands off” in business and consumer affairs as a method of preventing increased unemployment and inflation.
• Other influential economists have proposed that the federal government should intervene in the economy to reduce unemployment and prevent inflation.

Values and Economics
• Learning about economics will help you predict what may happen if certain events occur or certain policies are followed.
• Economics will not tell you whether the result will be good or bad.
• Judgments about results depend on a person’s values.
• Values are the beliefs or characteristics that a person or group considers important, such as religious freedom, equal opportunity, and so on.

Section 1: The Basic Problem in Economics
• Economics is the study of how individuals, families, businesses, and societies use limited resources to fulfill their unlimited wants.
• Individuals satisfy their unlimited wants in a world of limited resources by making choices.
• The need to make choices arises because of scarcity, the basic problem of economics.
• The resources needed to make goods and services are known as the factors of production.

Section 2: Trade-Offs
• People are forced to make trade-offs every time they use their resources in one way and not another.
• The cost of making a trade-off is known as opportunity cost–the value of the next best alternative that had to be given up to do the action that was chosen.
• A production possibilities curve is a graph that shows the maximum combinations of goods and services that can be produced from a fixed amount of resources in a given period of time.

• In this chapter you learned that some economists add technology as a fifth factor of production.
• Technology is an advance in knowledge leading to new and improved goods and services and better ways of producing them.
• This includes any use of land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship that produces goods and services more efficiently.

Smart Labels
“Smart Labels” may one day replace the bar codes that you see on items you buy at the store. These labels contain a computer chip, which can carry a wealth of information. And new data can be added even after the label has been attached to the package. Also, because the chip communicates by radio waves, the label does not have to be held directly in front of a scanner to be read. The radio waves can even penetrate dirt or other grime that might cover the label. The one disadvantage to this new technology is cost–about 30 cents per label.

Store Only a few years ago, computers were as big as refrigerators. Now, Frigidaire Home Products has unveiled a fridge that contains a computer. The computer has a touch-screen monitor and a bar code scanner mounted on the freezer door. There’s even a jack for an Internet connection. After emptying a carton of milk, you could swipe the carton past the bar code scanner, tap a couple of buttons on the screen, and the fridge would order replacements from an online grocery store.

Medusa was new roller coaster introduced by the Six Flags group in 1999. It was the world’s first “heartline” roller coaster. In a heartline, the riders feel as if there is nothing above or below them. On Medusa, passenger’s feet dangle without touching anything below. The tilt of the seat gives riders the impression that they are completely open to the sky above. Read the BusinessWeek Spotlight on the Economy article on page 17 of your textbook. Learn how traditional roller coasters are being modernized, keeping in mind the factors of production needed to perform this modernization.
