13 Scarcity is the central economic problem unlimited wants vs. limited resources. The goods and services we want exceed our ability to produce them. Everyone faces scarcity. Because of scarcity, consumers, businesses, and government decision- makers are forced to make choices.

25 How to think like an economist. What word do you think of when you hear the word “ economics ” ?

27 Two Roads Diverged in a Wood… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEMDQ SatfTUhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEMDQ SatfTU Robert Frost What is the meaning of this Poem?

28 Scarcity necessitates choice. Opportunity Cost is what you give up when you choose. It’s the real cost.

30 Opportunity Cost The opportunity cost of a choice is the value of the best alternative given up.

31 The economic way of thinking.

32 Core Economic Principles 1.People make choices. 2.All choices have costs. 3.People respond to incentives in predictable ways. 4.Economic systems influence incentives 5.Consequences of choices lie in the future. 6.Voluntary exchange creates wealth.

33 Consumers face scarcity and must make choices and incur opportunity costs. For example, a consumer with two hours of free time cannot go ice skating for two hours and see a movie. Whatever choice is made, the alternative given up is the opportunity cost.

34 Businesses face scarcity and must make choices and incur opportunity costs. Suppose a grocery is deciding whether to add a café or a pharmacy. It only has space for one. It makes a choice; the one not selected is the opportunity cost.

35 Governments face scarcity and must make choices and incur opportunity costs. For example, money spent on roads cannot be spent on education—or whatever would be the next best alternative.

36 A tradeoff is not an all-or-nothing decision. For example, government could choose to trade off some money for roads to spend more on education.1

37 Cost-Benefit Analysis What are the costs? What are the benefits? (What benefits do you give up?) (What good things do you get?)

38 What is the difference between what a government does and what an economy does?
