→ Ekonomie is die studie van hoe individue, besighede, regerings en ander instellings in ons samelewing kies
om skaars hulpbronne te gebruik om aan hulle eindelose behoeftes en begeertes te voldoen.
Die ekonomiese probleem
→ Die fundamentele ekonomiese dilemma is skaarsheid.
→ Die probleem kom voor omdat hulpbronne beperk is, maar mense se behoeftes/begeertes onbeperk is.
→ Mense het net 'n sekere hoeveelheid geld tot hulle beskikking.
→ Die regering beskik ook oor 'n beperkte hoeveelheid fondse en kan nie in al hulle behoeftes voorsien nie.
Die ekonomiese vraag
→ Wat moet geproduseer word?
→ Hoe moet dit geproduseer word?
→ Vir wie moet dit geproduseer word?
Vertakkings van ekonomie
→ Individuele besluite is die fokus van mikro-ekonomie.
→ Dit geld vir besigheids- en verbruikersbesluite.
→ Makro-ekonomie is gemoeid met die algemene funksionering van die ekonomie.
Ekonomie kan verder in verskeie afdelings verdeel word
→ Geld, hoe dit bestuur word en hoe dit gebruik word, word alles in monetêre ekonomie bestudeer.
→ Die funksie van die regering in die ekonomie word in die openbare sektor se ekonomie bestudeer.
→ Ontwikkelingsekonomie is die studie van beleide en metodes wat die ontwikkeling van onderontwikkelde
lande verbeter.
→ Arbeidsekonomie is die studie van vraag en aanbod na arbeid, asook die impak daarvan op die ekonomie
van 'n land.
→ Omgewingsekonomie is die studie van omgewingskwessies.
→ Internasionale ekonomie is die tak van die ekonomie wat internasionale handel en finansies ondersoek.
Benaderings van Ekonomie
→ Ekonome verkry data en waarnemings oor hoe mense optree as hulle produkte en dienste in die wêreld
rondom hulle lewer, uitruil en verbruik.
→ Ekonome ontwikkel hipoteses en beginsels gebaseer op hulle waarnemings.
→ Werk deduktief deur teorieë te versamel en dit dan met die feite te vergelyk om vas te stel of een
verklaring ooreenstem met die feite (afleiding).
→ Om 'n hipotese te bou, werk induktief deur feite te verwerk (induksie).
→ Gebruik beide afleiding en induksie.
→ Ekonomie is die studie van hoe individue optree as dit by geld kom.
