1 Limits, Alternatives, and Choices - s Defined.. Role of Theory. and Macroeconomics. Scarce Resources. The. Possibilities. - The Definition of s The social science that studies how individuals, institutions, and society make optimal choices under conditions of scarcity. Scarcity and Choice. Opportunity Cost. Purposeful Behavior. Rational self-interest entails making decisions to achieve maximum utility. Utility is the pleasure or satisfaction obtained from consuming a good or service. Different preferences and circumstances (including errors) lead to different choices. Rational self-interest is not the same as selfishness. Marginal Analysis. Marginal Benefits. Marginal Costs. -
2 The Scientific Method. The scientific method consists of: The observation of facts (real data). The formulations of explanations of cause and effect relationships (hypotheses) based upon the facts. The testing of the hypotheses. The acceptance, rejection, or modification of the hypotheses. The continued testing with an eye toward determination of a theory, law, principle, or model. - Principle. Principles are used to explain and/or predict the behavior of individuals and institutions. Terminology Principles, laws, theories, and models are all terms that refer to generalizations about economic behavior. They are used synonymously in the text, with custom or convenience governing the choice in each particular case. Generalizations. Other-Things-Equal Assumption (ceteris paribus). Graphical Expression. - Macroeconomics and Macroeconomics. Macroeconomics examines the economy as a whole. It includes measures of total output, total employment, total income, aggregate expenditures, and the general price level. It is a general overview examining the forest, not the trees.. looks at specific economic units. It is concerned with the individual industry, firm or household and the price of specific products and resources. It is an examination of trees, and not the forest. -
3 Positive s. Positive economics describes the economy as it actually is, avoiding value judgments and attempting to establish scientific statements about economic behavior Normative s. Normative economics involves value judgments about what the economy should be like and the desirability of the policy options available. Most disagreements among economists involve normative, value-based questions. -7 Individuals are confronted with the need to make choices because their wants exceed their means to satisfy them. Limited Income. Unlimited Wants. A Budget Line. Attainable and Unattainable Combinations. Tradeoffs and Opportunity Costs. Choice. Income Change. - Budget Line. Definition: A schedule or curve that shows the various combinations of two products a consumer can purchase with a specific money income. Attainable and Unattainable Combinations. Tradeoffs and Opportunity Costs. Choice. Income Change. -9

Resource Categories. Land. Labor. Capital. Investment. Entrepreneurial Ability. -
5 Land signifies more than soil or acreage; it includes all raw materials (timber, water, minerals, and other production inputs). Labor denotes the work (both physical and mental) that goes into the production process. Capital refers to physical aids to production, such as factories, machinery, and tools. Entrepreneurship is the managerial function that combines all these economic resources in an effective way and uncovers new opportunities to earn profit. - Full Employment. Fixed Resources.
