3 Abstract: The yearlong Advanced Placement Economics program offers two separate courses in economics: one in macroeconomics and one in microeconomics. Each course presumes one semester of college-level preparation. In addition to providing college credit, the AP Economics program will prepare you for college by providing two academically rigorous semester courses. This program identifies and attracts academically superior students and increases enrollment in advanced classes. Participation in the AP Economics program also increases your motivation, self-confidence, and academic orientation. The purpose of this guide is to serve as a model or a recipe for a successful course in Advanced Placement Economics. This curriculum guide provides an overview of the objectives, state and national learning standards, content area, course materials, assessment, assignments, and unit calendar. Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson 3

4 Objectives: The purpose of a course in Advanced Placement Macroeconomics is to give students a thorough understanding of the principles that apply to an economic system as a whole. The purpose of a course in Advanced Placement Microeconomics is to provide students a thorough understanding of the principles that apply to the individual units of an economic system. The National Council on Economic Education outlined the principles of economics in These six principles behind economic reasoning are sometimes referred to as The Handy Dandy Guide. You will apply these principles to your journey in economic literacy. 1. People economize 2. All choices involve cost 3. People respond to incentives 4. Economic systems influence individual choices 5. Voluntary trade creates wealth 6. The consequences of choices lie in the future In 1996 the National Council on Economic Education listed a total of nine principles of economic reasoning which include several variations of the original six principles. 1. Everything has a cost 2. People choose for good reasons 3. Incentives matter 4. People create economic systems to influence choices and incentives 5. People gain from voluntary trade 6. Economic thinking is marginal thinking 7. The price of a good or service is affected by people s choices 8. Economic actions create secondary effects 9. The test of a theory is its ability to predict The Advanced Economics Program will use these principles to meet and exceed the National and New York State Learning Standards for economic education. 4

5 Standard 1: Scarcity Students will understand that productive resources are limited. Therefore, people can not have all the goods and services they want; as a result, they must choose some things and give up others. Standard 2: Marginal Cost/Benefit Effective decision-making requires comparing the additional costs of alternatives with the additional benefits. Most choices involve doing a little more or a little less of something: few choices are all or nothing decisions. Standard 3: Allocation of Goods and Services Different methods can be used to allocate goods and services. People acting individually or collectively through government, must choose which methods to use to allocate different kinds of goods and services. Standard 4: Role of Incentives People respond predictably to positive and negative incentives. Standard 5: Gain from Trade Voluntary exchange occurs only when all participating parties expect to gain. This is true for trade among individuals or organizations within a nation, and among individuals or organizations in different nations. Standard 6: Specialization and Trade When individuals, regions, and nations specialize in what they can produce at the lowest cost and then trade with others, both production and consumption increase. Standard 7: Markets-Price and Quantity Determination Markets exist when buyers and sellers interact. This interaction determines market prices and thereby allocates scarce goods and services. Standard 8: Role of Price in Market System Prices send signals and provide incentives to buyers and sellers. When supply or demand changes, market prices adjust, affecting incentives. Standard 9: Role of Competition Competition among sellers lowers costs and prices, and encourages producers to produce more of what consumers are willing and able to buy. Competition among buyers increases prices and allocates goods and services to those who are willing and able to pay the most for them. Standard 10: Role of Economic Institutions Institutions evolve in market economies to help individuals and groups accomplish their goals. Banks, labor unions, corporations, legal systems, and not-for-profit organizations are examples of important institutions. A different kind of institution, clearly defined and enforced property right, is essential to a market economy. 5

6 Standard 11: Role of Money Money makes it easier to trade, borrow, save, invest, and compare the value of goods and services. Standard 12: Role of Interest Rates Interest rates, adjusted for inflation, rise and fall to balance the amount saved with the amount borrowed, which affects the allocation of scarce resources between present and future uses. Standard 13: Role of Resources in Determining Income Income for most people is determined by the market value of the productive resources they sell. What workers earn depends, primarily, on the market value of what they produce and how productive they are. Standard 14: Profit and the Entrepreneur Entrepreneurs are people who take the risks of organizing productive resources to make goods and services. Profit is an important incentive that leads entrepreneurs to accept the risks of business failures. Standard 15: Growth Investment in factories, machinery, new technology, and in the health, education, and training of people can raise future standards of living. Standard 16: Role of Government There is an economic role for government in a market economy whenever the benefits of a government policy outweigh its costs. Governments often provide for national defense, address environmental concerns, define and protect property rights, and attempt to make markets more competitive. Most government policies also redistribute income. Standard 17: Using Cost/Benefit Analysis to Evaluate Government Programs Costs of government policies sometimes exceed benefits. This may occur because of incentives facing voters, government officials, and government employees, because of actions by special interest groups that can impose costs on the general public, or because social goals other than economic efficiency are being pursued. Standard 18: Macroeconomy-Income/Employment, Prices A nation s overall levels of income, employment, and prices are determined by the interaction of spending and production decisions made by all households, firms, government agencies, and others in the economy. Standard 19: Unemployment and Inflation Unemployment imposes costs on individuals and nations. Unexpected inflation imposes costs on many people and benefits some others because it arbitrarily redistributes purchasing power. Inflation can reduce the rate of growth of national 6

7 living standards because individuals and organizations use resources to protect themselves against the uncertainty of future prices. Standard 20: Monetary and Fiscal Policy Federal government budgetary policy and the Federal Reserve System s monetary policy influences the overall levels of employment, output, and prices. *Note* The above National Standards have been incorporated by the New York State Education Department as voluntary standards Economics is New York State Social Studies Learning Standard 4. 7

12 Assessment: Your grades can be viewed online at Class Participation Class participation is vital to the success of any AP Economics program. Students must arrive to class ready to interact with each other in simulation activities and active discussions. Class participation also includes working on assignments, note taking, and listening. The use of smartphones, tablets, or any electronic device will drastically lower your grade. This includes having any device on your desk. Classroom Discussion Discussing the principles of economics is the best way to learn the material. Students also evaluated through verbal responses to questions asked by the teacher and their peers. There is such a thing as too much participation. If you monopolize classroom discussion, your grade will be lowered. Homework Students are required to do the textbook reading prior to the class. Students will also demonstrate a written understanding of the reading by completing any homework questions assigned. Homework is given every night and completed before the class meets. Tests/Quizzes All tests are based on the format of the AP exams. All Part II graphs and responses are to be completed in ink on lined paper just like on the AP exam. Part I and Part II questions are modeled after AP questions. Short wrap-up quizzes that serve as a summative assessment are also helpful tools. If you miss an exam, you must make it up immediately. Tests are not returned until every student completes the exam. Sample Quarterly Grade Distribution Tests 60% Quizzes 20% Assignments 20% 12
