Learning Unit 0 Tools for Economic Analysis

Overview:

This Learning Unit provides the opportunity for you to revise the basic principles contained
in many tools of economic analysis in microeconomics and macroeconomics.

This Learning Unit 0 is by no means a comprehensive study of mathematics. It simply revises
those mathematical principles that you will encounter in different parts of the economics
syllabus so that, when you reach those parts of the syllabus, you feel confident in applying
the mathematical principles.

Learning Unit 1 What is Economics All About?

Overview:

Economics encompasses the production, distribution and consumption of goods and
services in an economy, based on the behaviours, needs, wants and decisions of individuals
and groups of people. Economics can be broadly categorised into microeconomics, which
focuses on the decisions and behaviour of individuals, groups of people and businesses, and
macroeconomics, which involves the national and global economy and evaluates the various
issues and decisions at this level.

Scarcity, choice and opportunity cost are fundamental concepts to economics. It
encompasses the choices people make to satisfy unlimited wants and needs with limited
resources and the cost of choosing one alternative over the other. This can be explained by
using a production possibilities curve, which graphically illustrates all combinations of
efficient output and the combinations of output that would be inefficient or unattainable
with the given resources.

In this learning unit, we will aim to gain a better understanding of what economics is by
unpacking the term ‘economics’ and looking at why it is referred to as a social science. We
will also distinguish between microeconomics and macroeconomics and discuss the
difference between positive and normative statements in the context of economics. Later,
we will explore the production possibilities curve (PPC) to explain scarcity, choice and
opportunity cost; distinguish between efficient, inefficient and unattainable outputs; and
illustrate how changes in the quality or quantity of resources may affect output. Finally, we
will discuss some of the common mistakes made by economists with regard to correlation
and causation, as well as the difference between levels and rates of change.

Please work through Themes 1, 2 and 3 on Learn, together with the relevant sections of your
prescribed source/s. To ensure that you are working towards mastering the objectives for
this learning unit, please also ensure that you complete the activities on Learn.
