Some economics principles to consider:
- Incentives matter: because they affect the benefits
and costs of taking one action as opposed to another.
- The principle of comparative advantage: Everybody does
best when each concentrates on the activity for which he or she is
relatively more productive.
- Trade-offs: in economics we often look at the
trade-offs involved in a decision.
- Opportunity cost: each decision we make involves an
opportunity cost, that is, the next best alternative.
- The cost-benefit principle: Take no action unless its
marginal benefit is at least as great as its marginal cost.
