Working with Graphs Graphs are used to demonstrate economic theories.

Theories and Models Theories are developed to explain observed phenomena in terms of a set of basic rules and assumptions. While most economic models are abstractions from reality, they provide aid in understanding economic behavior.

A Good Theory Consists of A set of Variables; A set of Assumptions; At least one Hypothesis; and The ability to make Predictions.
