Four Main Reasons to Study Economics...
To learn a way of thinking To understand society To understand global affairs To be an informed voter
![Page 10: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1. To Learn a Way of Thinking...
Three Fundamental Concepts of Economic Thinking:
• Opportunity Cost
• Marginalism
• Efficiency
![Page 11: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Opportunity CostsOpportunity Costs
The opportunity costopportunity cost of something is that which we give up when we make that choice or that decision.
Opportunity costs imply that nearly all decisions involve trade-offs
![Page 12: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What do we mean byOpportunity Costs?
“There’s no such thing as a free lunch!”
![Page 13: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Opportunity Cost Question…
What is the opportunity cost of your attending college?
![Page 14: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
MarginalismMarginalism
In weighing the costs and benefits of a decision, it is important to weigh only the costs and benefits that arise from the decision. (That is, the additional costs/benefits that are added as a result of that decision.)
![Page 15: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Efficient MarketsEfficient Markets
An efficient market is one in which any and all profit opportunities are eliminated instantaneously.
![Page 16: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
“The study of economics is an essential part of the study of
society”
2. To understand society...
![Page 17: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Past and present economic decisions have an enormous
effect on the character of life in a society!
2. To understand society...
![Page 18: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
3. To understand global affairs...
Collapse of the Soviet Union The European Union NAFTA and GATT The Gulf War Starvation & Poverty in Africa
![Page 19: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
4. To be an informed voter... The number one issue on people’s minds in recent elections has been the economy. Clinton’s main focus during his presidency has been primarily on economic issues such as: deficit reduction, economic growth, international trade agreements and health-care reform
![Page 20: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Scope of Economics
MACROECONOMICS
The branch of economics that examines economic behavior of the aggregates - income, employment,
aggregate output, and so on.
![Page 21: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Scope of Economics
MICROECONOMICS
The branch of economics that examines the functioning of individual industries
and the behavior of individual decision-making units such as business
firms and households.
![Page 22: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Method of Economics
Positive Economics
An approach to economics that seeks to understand behavior and the
operation of systems without making judgements. It describes what exists
and how it works.
![Page 23: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Method of Economics
Normative Economics
An approach to economics that analyzes outcomes of economic
behavior, evaluates them as good or bad, and may prescribe courses of action. Normative economics will
many times apply value judgements.
![Page 24: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Economic Theories & Models
An economic theoryeconomic theory is a statement or set of related statements about cause
and effect, action and reaction.
![Page 25: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Economic Theories & Models
An economic modeleconomic model is a formal statement of an economic theory.
Usually a mathematical representation of a presumed
relationship between two or more variables.
![Page 26: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Economic Theories & Models
Inductive ReasoningInductive Reasoning is the process of observing regular patterns from raw
data and drawing generalizations from them.
![Page 27: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Economic Theories & Models
Ceteris ParibusCeteris Paribus is a device (i.e.an assumption) used to analyze the relationship between two variables while the values of other variables are held unchanged. It may be interpreted to mean “everything else equal or constant.”
![Page 28: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Economic Theories & Models- Cautions & Pitfalls -
Post hoc, ergo propterPost hoc, ergo propter hochoc, literally means “after this, therefore because of this.” It refers to a common error made in thinking about causation. If Event A happens before Event B, it is not necessarily true that A caused B.
The Post Hoc Fallacy
![Page 29: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Economic Theories & Models- Cautions & Pitfalls -
Two variables are correlated if one variable changes when the other variable changes.
This does not mean that changes in one variable cause changes in the other.
Correlation vs. Causation
![Page 30: Principles Of Macroeconomics. Today’s Outline Introduction Syllabus Points of Order Lecture one](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013004/56649d165503460f949ec68c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Economic Theories & Models - Cautions & Pitfalls -
The fallacy of compositionfallacy of composition implies that what is true for a part is necessarily true for the whole.
