Economics
Long Long ago

There is NO Free Lunch

Economics
Is it study of money?

Economics
Is it study of Savings?

Economics
Is it about eating lunch?

Economics

Scarce Resource

Alternative Uses

Choices Decision Making

Rational
Economical

Cost - Benefit
Deals with inputs & Outputs
Deals with means & goals, objectives

Why Engineers learn

Economics

To
To
To
To

decide
decide
decide
decide

produce or NOT
how much to produce
the price
make or buy decision.

Types of Economics
Macro Economics
Aggregate economics at a larger level
often deals with policy decisions

Micro Economics
Is about how individuals and businesses
make decisions

Two Roles of Economists

When they are trying to explain

the world, they are scientists.
When they are trying to change
the world, they are policymakers.

Positive versus Normative Analysis

Positive statements are statements
that describe the world as it is.
Called descriptive analysis
Normative statements are
statements about how the world
should be.
Called prescriptive analysis
