Economic Concepts
Topic Plan • Economic concept. • Basic Economic Problems. • Economic Systems.
What is Economics ?
Economics Is the study of how societies use scarce resources to produce valuable commodities and distribute them among different people.
Scarcity • Resources are scarce in relation to the unlimited needs and wants of consumers.
Resources • Also called Factors of Production • All inputs which are used in the production and distribution of goods and services.
Types of Resources 1. LAND : All natural endowments. Examples- soils, crops, minerals 2. LABOUR : Physical and mental work of people. Examples- teachers
Types of Resources 3. CAPITAL : Any good used to produce others. Examples- Factories, machinery 4. ENTERPRISE : Management of the other three factors of production. Examples- Business managers
Characteristics of Resources • Scarce • Have alternative uses • Quantity of a resource varies • Quality of a resource varies
Needs and Wants Needs: goods/services essential for survival. Wants: goods/services desired by consumers. Characteristics: • Unlimited • Recurrent • Complementary • Changeable
Satisfying Needs and Wants Production Distribution Consumption
Production Possibility Theory • A simplified economic model which portrays scarcity, choice and opportunity cost. The Static Production Possibility Frontier • Analyses the economy at a fixed point in time • Is based on the following assumptions: – There is a fixed quantity of resources – The economy only produces 2 products – Resources can be used interchangeably – All resources within the economy are used – Resources are used at maximum efficiency
An example of the Static PPF model Production Possibility Schedule A B C D E Tractors 0 100 200 300 400 VCRs 800 600 400 200 0
The PPF Graph E PPF 400- D 300- Tractors C 200- B 100- A 200 400 600 800 Video Recorders
Maximum Output Levels • The PPF shows the maximum output of the economy. • If the economy devoted all of its resources to the production of VCRs it is able to produce 800 (+ zero tractors) - Production Possibility A. • Alternatively, if the economy chooses Production Possibility C it is able to produce 200 tractors and 400 VCRs.
Opportunity Cost The sacrifice in choosing to satisfy one need or want rather than another (the alternative forgone).
Opportunity Costs • The PPF shows that to produce more of one product means producing less of another. • Opportunity costs of production can be measured eg if the economy moves from point C to D (along the PPF) it will produce an extra 100 tractors BUT 200 VCR’s must be sacrificed. • Hence the opportunity cost is 200 VCR’s.
