1. List some examples of the scarcity that you face.
Examples of scarcity common to students include not enough income to afford both tuition and a nice
car, not enough learning capacity to study for both an economics exam and a chemistry exam in one night,
and not enough time to allow extensive studying and extensive socializing.

2. Find examples of scarcity in today’s headlines.
A headline in The Baltimore Sun on June 20, 2017 was “Davis Says Special Deployment Helped Stall
Violence.” The story presented Police Commissioner Kevin Davis stating that a week-long deployment of
uniformed police officers on the streets of Baltimore helped reduce shootings in the city. But the story
pointed out the role of scarcity when Commissioner Davis said that “the deployment was not sustainable
over the long term” due to its cost.

3. Find an example of the distinction between microeconomics and macroeconomics in today’s
headlines.
Microeconomics: On June 20, 2017 a headline in East Bay Times was “Reality vs Fantasy: FTC to Block
FanDuel-DraftKings Merger.” This story covers a microeconomic topic because it discusses how two on-
line fantasy sports sites, which were trying to merge, now faced opposition by the Federal Trade
VE
Commission (FTC) which announced it would challenge the merger. Macroeconomics: On June 20, 2017,
a headline in The Wall Street Journal was “Ryan Talks Up Likelihood of Tax Overhaul.” This story covers
a macroeconomic topic because it concerns taxes that affect every business and individual in the entire
economy.

1. Describe the broad facts about what, how, and for whom goods and services are produced.
G
What gets produced is significantly different today than in the past. Today the U.S. economy produces
more services, such as medical operations, teaching, and hair styling, than goods, such as pizza,
automobiles, and computers. How goods and services are produced is by businesses determining how the
factors of production, land, labor, capital and entrepreneurship, are combined to make the goods and
R
services we consume. Land includes all natural resources, both renewable natural resources such as wood,
and nonrenewable natural resources such as natural gas. Labor’s quality depends on people’s human
capital. In the U.S. economy, human capital obtained through schooling has increased over the years with
far more people completing high school and attending college than in past years. Finally, for whom are
AD
goods and services to be produced depends on the way income is distributed to U.S. citizens. This
distribution is not equal; the 20 percent of people with the lowest income earn about 5 percent of the
nation’s total income while the 20 percent of people with the highest incomes earn about 50 percent of
total income. On the average, men earn more than women, whites more than non-whites, and college
graduates more than high school graduates.
