paper. Principles of Economics The Principles of Economics are a list of ten Principles based on how people make decisions. There are a few that are really close to home. The first one I see the most in my life is “People respond to incentives” (Mankiw‚ 2007). Behaviors change when the cost or the benefit changes.

a good is produced at a lower opportunity cost (Mankiw 2015). Absolute advantage is when a good is produced using less inputs than another producer (Mankiw 2015). Comparative advantage is more important in determining trade because when countries trade they will trade a good that has a low opportunity cost with another country who will in turn trade their goods that have a low opportunity cost and both countries will benefit from the trade (Mankiw 2015 p.58). 2.

To maximize the profit in a monopoly the company sets the price above the marginal cost of production while only producing enough of the product to meet the demand (AmosWEB LLC‚ 2011). If the company sets the price to high the demand for its

r Relationship Between Inflation and Depreciation: It’s Complicated It’s understandable to think inflation (price increases within a country – indicating the dollar has weakened in purchasing power for domestic goods purchases) would lead to depreciation – weakening of the dollar against other currencies. The logic of this common misunderstanding is not too complex; if the dollar has weakened for a foreign import‚ say a $20‚000 car‚ why shouldn’t we expect the foreign company to charge
