, Instructor Manual: Mankiw, Principles of Microeconomics, 10e, 9780357722718; Chapter 1: Ten Principles of
Economics
PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHAPTER
Chapter 1 is the first chapter in a three-chapter section that serves as the
introduction to the text. Chapter 1 introduces ten fundamental principles on which
the study of economics is based. In a broad sense, the rest of the text is an
elaboration on these ten principles. Chapter 2 will develop how economists approach
problems while Chapter 3 will explain how individuals and countries gain from trade.
The purpose of Chapter 1 is to lay out ten economic principles that will serve as
building blocks for the rest of the text. The ten principles can be grouped into three
categories: how people make decisions, how people interact, and how the economy
works as a whole. Throughout the text, references will be made repeatedly to these
ten principles.
Key points addressed in this chapter:
• The fundamental lessons about individual decision making are that people face
trade-offs among alternative goals, that the cost of any action is measured in
terms of forgone opportunities, that rational people make decisions by
comparing marginal costs and marginal benefits, and that people change their
behavior in response to the incentives they face.
• The fundamental lessons about economic interactions among people are that
trade and interdependence can be mutually beneficial, that markets are
usually a good way of coordinating economic activity, and that the government
can potentially improve market outcomes by remedying a market failure or by
promoting greater economic equality.
• The fundamental lessons about the economy as a whole are that productivity
is the ultimate source of improving living standards, that growth in the
quantity of money is the ultimate source of inflation, and that society faces a
short-run trade-off between inflation and unemployment.
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
The following objectives are addressed in this chapter:
• Explain how scarcity influences decisions.
• Explain how individuals evaluate opportunity costs to make decisions.
• Explain how marginal analysis influences decision making.
