Economy: de economie of de economische situatie
Economics: de economische wetenschap (deze cursus)
o Eigenheid van de economische wetenschap is niet in wat ze bestudeert maar
in de hoe ze dingen bestudeert. (NIET zwart-wit)
Keuzes maken gebaseerd op tijd en geld zorgt voor spanning
o Personen hun verlangen: ongelimiteerd
o Beschikbare bronnen: gelimiteerd
> Opportuniteitskost bepalen
> Streven naar winstmaximalisatie
Economics is the study of how society manages its scares resources to full fil the
unlimited needs
o Micro-economisch: huishouden en bedrijven (bepaald goed)
o Macro-economisch: economische fenomenen (bepaalde industrie)
2. How people make decisions
4 principes van individuele keuzebepaling
o Keuzes maken:
- Efficiency: meeste krijgen voor het minste van de bronnen
- Equity: de eerlijke verdeling van de opportuniteit
>Trade-off: om de rechtvaardige verdeling te maximaliseren zullen de
mensen efficiëntie moeten opgeven en vice versa.
o Denken in opportuniteitskosten
- Opportuniteitskost= de waarde van de verloren gegane best mogelijke
alternatieve aanwending van de middelen.
- Niet hetzelfde als boekhoudkundige kosten
>Voor een economische goede beslissing zal de waarde van de
gemaakte keuze groter zijn dan de hierdoor veroorzaakte
opportuniteitskost.
- Bepaald door 5 stappen: welke keuze? welke middelen?, welke
alternatieven?, beste alternatief?, waarde beste alternatief?
- Verloren, gegane keuzes zijn kosten
