1. Four categories of resources.
Land or natural resources- land is not just real estate. It is any natural
resource found in nature that can be used to produce goods and services. The land category includes things like trees, plants, livestock, wind, sun, water and minerals. Labor or human resources- labor refers to any human contribution, either physical or intellectual. Labor takes a natural resource from its original condition and transforms it into a capital good. Capital- Money is not a resource. By economic definition, resources must be productive, and money does not do that. Money is a means to move the economy, but by itself, it doesn't produce anything. Money is used to acquire the productive resources that are used to produce goods and services. Entrepreneurship- is the creativity required to bring all of a company’s resources together to produce a good or service that is sold in the marketplace. In a sense, entrepreneurship is a special form of labor.
2. Division of economics.
Microeconomics- the prefix “micro-,” meaning “small,” in the word “microeconomics”
refers to the basic, small-scale economic behaviors and decisions that economists in this field study. Microeconomics examines the impact that economic choices made by individuals, businesses and industries have on resource allocation and the supply and demand of goods and services in market economies. Because supply and demand determine the price of goods and services, microeconomics also studies how prices factor into economic decisions, and how those decisions, in turn, affect prices. Macroeconomics- the prefix “macro-,” meaning “big,” in the word “macroeconomics” refers to how economists in this field analyze the structure and function of large- scale economies as a whole, whether regional, national or global. Macroeconomics examines the complex interplay between factors such as national income and savings, gross domestic product, gross national product, consumer and producer price indexes, consumption, unemployment, foreign trade, inflation, investment and international finance. Economists in this field seek to understand fluctuations in business cycles and the elements that contribute to long-term economic growth, which are vital to the creation of sound economic policies by governments and businesses. 3. Four types of economics
House economics- or family and consumer sciences, is today a subject
concerning human development, personal and family finance, housing and interior design, food science and preparation, nutrition and wellness, textiles and apparel, and consumer issues. Business economics- is a field of applied economics that studies the financial, organizational, market-related, and environmental issues faced by corporations. Natural economics- is a type of economy in which money is not used in the transfer of resources among people. It is a system of allocating resources through direct bartering, entitlement by law, or sharing out according to traditional custom. In the more complex forms of natural economy, some goods may act as a referent for fair bartering, but generally currency plays only a small role in allocating resources. International economics- is concerned with the effects upon economic activity from international differences in productive resources and consumer preferences and the international institutions that affect them. It seeks to explain the patterns and consequences of transactions and interactions between the inhabitants of different countries, including trade, investment and transaction.
