Circular Flow Model

• A market is a mechanism that allows buyers and sellers to exchange a certain economic product.

• Factor Markets – are where productive resources are bought and sold.

• Product Markets – are where producers sell their goods and services to consumers.

Model Simulation

• Volunteers for Households/Consumers. • Volunteer to run a store to represent the Product

Marketsign• Who wants to be a CEO for Business/Headquarters? • Who wants to run a factory: Factor/Resource Market? • These volunteers will sit at the front and back and two

sides of the room with their placards. Representing consumers, businesses, factors of production markets (or resource markets), and product markets.

Simulating Each Exchange

Beginning with consumers and product markets:

Ask how consumers obtain Coca-Cola (legally). Can you get it for free?

How to Increase Your Power…

• Economic growth occurs when a nation’s total output of goods and services increases over time.

• Economic productivity is a measure of the amount of output produced by a given amount of inputs during a specific period of time.

Get by with a little help from my friends

Economic Interdependence means that we rely on others, and others rely on us, to provide the goods and services that we consume.

BELLWORK: 8/28- Jerry Maguire

2)what was the choice made

3)what was the second choice given up

4)what was the value of the choice given up (opportunity cost)

5)what was the reason for the choice taken.

The Labor Force

Division of Labor takes place when work is arranged so that individual workers do

fewer tasks than before.

Specialization takes place when factors of production perform tasks that they can do relatively more efficiently than others.

Allocation

1.What need will be satisfied?

2.What resource will be used?

3.How much of the resource will be used?

Trade Offs

• Choosing among alternatives to satisfy Allocation• Very Similar to Opportunity Cost

Page 20: Ch. 1-2 Week of 8/26-8/30. BELLWORK- 8/26 Why do we have goods on our shelves in the stores. Who provides the goods? For EX: why are Coca-Colas for sale.

Trade Offs and Opportunity Cost

Every decision we make has its trade-offs or alternative choices. When you make an economic decision (a choice) opportunity cost are incurred.

Opportunity Cost -The value of what you give up when you make a choice.

Opportunity Benefit -The value of what you gain by

making that choice.

DOES THE United States USE THIS?

THE US IS A FREE ENTERPRISE ECONOMY:

consumers and privately owned businesses make the majority of the WHAT, HOW, and FOR WHOM decisions

An Economic Mystery

"When it takes, at least, an additional seven years of schooling, and over one hundred thousand dollars in costs and lost earnings, why would a person want to graduate from college instead of dropping out after the ninth grade?"

What is the most important factor when considering college?

1. People economize. People choose the alternative which seems best to them because it involves the least cost and greatest benefit.

2. All choices involve cost. Cost is the second best choice people give up when they make their best choice.

3. People respond to incentives. Incentives are actions or rewards that encourage people to act. When incentives change, people's behavior changes in predictable ways.

4. Economics systems influence individual choices and incentives. How people cooperate is governed by written and unwritten rules. As rules change, incentives change and behavior changes.

5. Voluntary trade creates wealth. People can produce more in less time by concentrating on what they do best. The surplus goods or services they produce can be traded to obtain other valuable goods or services.

6. The consequences of choices lie in the future. The important costs and benefits in economic decision making are those which will appear in the future. Economics stresses making decisions about the future because it is only the future that we can influence. We cannot influence things that have happened in the past

A city council meeting is called to allocate a budget of $100,000. The council would like to buy four new police cars at $25,000 each, two senior-citizen centers at $50,000 each, and build two new tennis courts at $50,000 each. Explain why a choice must be made, decide how the city council should spend its money, describe how the city council should spend its money, describe the trade-offs made, and identify the opportunity cost of the decision.

In your groups analyze the following situations:

You are a member of your state’s legislature, and there is a $500,000 surplus in the state budget. How much of that $500,000 would you spend on each of the following programs: aid to the homeless, money to retrain unemployed workers, aid to schools in poor neighborhoods, improvement of state roads, or money for the state society for prevention of cruelty to animals? Explain why you chose to support certain programs and to spend no money on others. What are the trade-offs? What is the opportunity cost of the choices that you made? [note: students should pick the top two choices and allocate funds into them

Production Possibilities Frontier

The various combination of goods and

services that an economy can choose to

produce.

When an economy is operating at full capacity

it is operating at maximum production. This

is also known as the production possibilities

frontier.

Production possibilities help

us understand the concept

of opportunity cost.

Explanation of Graph

If you are operating at maximum production, the

only way to produce something new you must give

up the production of another item.

If you have economic growth you can push the

curve outward allowing for more total production.

(Population Growth, Improving Technology, or growth in the Capital

Stock which are investments in factories, etc.)

If you have idle resources (operating inside the

curve) you will be able to produce more of both

without giving up production.
