human wants



Opportunity Cost - The most desirable alternative given up as the result of a
decision



Marginal Benefit (MB) - The additional benefit received from the consumption of
the next unit of a good or service

Law of Increasing Costs - The more of a good that is produced, the greater the
opportunity cost of producing the next unit of that good



Absolute Advantage - Exists if a producer can produce more of a good than all
other producers



Comparative Advantage - Exists if a producer can produce a good at lower
opportunity cost than all other producers



Specialization - When firms focus their resources on production of goods for
which they have comparative advantage



Productive Efficiency - Production of maximum output for a given level of
technology and resources. All points on the PPF are productively efficient

PPF

decrease their quantity demanded for that good



Absolute prices - The price of a good measured in units of currency



Relative Prices - The number of units of any other good Y that must be sacrificed
to acquire good X. Only relative prices matter



Substitution Effect - The change in quantity demanded resulting from a change in
the price of one good relative to other goods
