South-Western/Thomson Learning 11Ten Principles of Economics
4.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning Economy. . . . . . The word economy comes from a Greek word for “one who manages a household.”
5.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning TEN PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMICS • A household and an economy face many decisions: • Who will work? • What goods and how many of them should be produced? • What resources should be used in production? • At what price should the goods be sold?
6.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning TEN PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMICS Society and Scarce Resources: • The management of society’s resources is important because resources are scarce. • Scarcity. . . means that society has limited resources and therefore cannot produce all the goods and services people wish to have.
7.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning TEN PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMICS Economics is the study of how society manages its scarce resources.
8.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning TEN PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMICS • How people make decisions. • People face tradeoffs. • The cost of something is what you give up to get it. • Rational people think at the margin. • People respond to incentives.
9.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning TEN PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMICS • How people interact with each other. • Trade can make everyone better off. • Markets are usually a good way to organize economic activity. • Governments can sometimes improve economic outcomes.
10.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning TEN PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMICS • The forces and trends that affect how the economy as a whole works. • The standard of living depends on a country’s production. • Prices rise when the government prints too much money. • Society faces a short-run tradeoff between inflation and unemployment.
11.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning Principle #1: People Face Tradeoffs. “There is no such thing as a free lunch!”
12.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning Making decisions requires trading off one goal against another. Principle #1: People Face Tradeoffs. To get one thing, we usually have to give up another thing. • Guns v. butter • Food v. clothing • Leisure time v. work • Efficiency v. equity
13.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning Principle #1: People Face Tradeoffs • Efficiency v. Equity • Efficiency means society gets the most that it can from its scarce resources. • Equity means the benefits of those resources are distributed fairly among the members of society.
14.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning Principle #2: The Cost of Something Is What You Give Up to Get It. • Decisions require comparing costs and benefits of alternatives. • Whether to go to college or to work? • Whether to study or go out on a date? • Whether to go to class or sleep in? • The opportunity cost of an item is what you give up to obtain that item.
15.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning People make decisions by comparing costs and benefits at the margin. Principle #3: Rational People Think at the Margin. • Marginal changes are small, incremental adjustments to an existing plan of action.
16.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning Principle #4: People Respond to Incentives. • Marginal changes in costs or benefits motivate people to respond. • The decision to choose one alternative over another occurs when that alternative’s marginal benefits exceed its marginal costs!
17.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning Principle #5: Trade Can Make Everyone Better Off. • People gain from their ability to trade with one another. • Competition results in gains from trading. • Trade allows people to specialize in what they do best.
18.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning Principle #6: Markets Are Usually a Good Way to Organize Economic Activity. • A market economy is an economy that allocates resources through the decentralized decisions of many firms and households as they interact in markets for goods and services. • Households decide what to buy and who to work for. • Firms decide who to hire and what to produce.
19.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning Principle #6: Markets Are Usually a Good Way to Organize Economic Activity. • Adam Smith made the observation that households and firms interacting in markets act as if guided by an “invisible hand.” • Because households and firms look at prices when deciding what to buy and sell, they unknowingly take into account the social costs of their actions. • As a result, prices guide decision makers to reach outcomes that tend to maximize the welfare of society as a whole.
20.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning Principle #7: Governments Can Sometimes Improve Market Outcomes. • Market failure occurs when the market fails to allocate resources efficiently. • When the market fails (breaks down) government can intervene to promote efficiency and equity.
21.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning Principle #8: The Standard of Living Depends on a Country’s Production. • Standard of living may be measured in different ways: • By comparing personal incomes. • By comparing the total market value of a nation’s production.
22.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning Principle #8: The Standard of Living Depends on a Country’s Production. • Almost all variations in living standards are explained by differences in countries’ productivities. • Productivity is the amount of goods and services produced from each hour of a worker’s time.
23.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning Principle #8: The Standard of Living Depends on a Country’s Production. • Standard of living may be measured in different ways: • By comparing personal incomes. • By comparing the total market value of a nation’s production.
24.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning Principle #9: Prices Rise When the Government Prints Too Much Money. • Inflation is an increase in the overall level of prices in the economy. • One cause of inflation is the growth in the quantity of money. • When the government creates large quantities of money, the value of the money falls.
25.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning Principle #10: Society Faces a Short-run Tradeoff Between Inflation and Unemployment. • The Phillips Curve illustrates the tradeoff between inflation and unemployment: Inflation Unemployment It’s a short-run tradeoff!
26.

South-Western/Thomson Learning Elasticity . . . • … allows us to analyze supply and demand with greater precision. • … is a measure of how much buyers and sellers respond to changes in market conditions
31.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning THE ELASTICITY OF DEMAND • Price elasticity of demand is a measure of how much the quantity demanded of a good responds to a change in the price of that good. • Price elasticity of demand is the percentage change in quantity demanded given a percent change in the price.
32.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning Computing the Price Elasticity of Demand • The price elasticity of demand is computed as the percentage change in the quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. P r i c e e l a s t i c i t y o f d e m a n d = P e r c e n t a g e c h a n g e i n q u a n t i t y d e m a n d e d P e r c e n t a g e c h a n g e i n p r i c e
33.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning Determinants of Elasticity of Supply • Ability of sellers to change the amount of the good they produce. • Beach-front land is inelastic. • Books, cars, or manufactured goods are elastic. • Time period. • Supply is more elastic in the long run.
34.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning Computing the Price Elasticity of Supply • The price elasticity of supply is computed as the percentage change in the quantity supplied divided by the percentage change in price. P r i c e e l a s t i c i t y o f s u p p l y = P e r c e n t a g e c h a n g e i n q u a n t i t y s u p p l i e d P e r c e n t a g e c h a n g e i n p r i c e
35.

South-Western/Thomson Learning THREE APPLICATIONS OF SUPPLY, DEMAND, AND ELASTICITY • Can good news for farming be bad news for farmers? • What happens to wheat farmers and the market for wheat when university agronomists discover a new wheat hybrid that is more productive than existing varieties?
36.
Copyright © 2004
South-Western/Thomson Learning THREE APPLICATIONS OF SUPPLY, DEMAND, AND ELASTICITY • Examine whether the supply or demand curve shifts. • Determine the direction of the shift of the curve. • Use the supply-and-demand diagram to see how the market equilibrium changes.
