Understand how the role of government in a market economy often includes providing for national defense, addressing environmental concerns, defining and enforcing property rights, attempting to make markets more competitive, and protecting consumers rights.
3 The Basic Principles of Free Enterprise Several key characteristics make up the basic principles of free enterprise. 1. Profit Motive The drive for the improvement of material well-being. 2. Open opportunity The ability for anyone to compete in the marketplace. 3. Legal equality Equal rights to all. 4. Private property rights The right to control your possessions as you wish. 5. Free contract The right to decide what agreements in which you want to take part. 6. Voluntary exchange The right to decide what and when you want to buy and sell a product. 7. Competition The rivalry among sellers to attract consumers.
4 The Consumer s Role A fundamental purpose of the free enterprise system is to give consumers the freedom to make their own economic choices. Through their economic dealings with producers, consumers make their desires known. When buying products, they indicate to producers what to produce and how much to make. Consumers can also make their desires known by joining interest groups, which are private organizations that try to persuade public officials to vote according to the interests of the groups members.
5 The Government s Role Americans expect the government to protect them from potential problems that arise from the production of various products or the products themselves. Americans generally favor limited government intervention in the economy. Public Disclosure Laws Laws that require companies to provide consumers with important information about their products, such as fuel efficiency of automobiles, side-effects of medication. This medicine may cause drowsiness, etc. Example VIDEO Public Interest Both state and federal governments involvement in concerns of the public as a whole, such as environmental protection, sanitary food production. -Expirations dates on food

11 CA Standard(s) Covered 12.3 Students analyze the influence of the federal government on the American economy. 1. Understand how the role of government in a market economy often includes providing for national defense, addressing environmental concerns, defining and enforcing property rights, attempting to make markets more competitive, and protecting consumers rights Students analyze the elements of the U.S. labor market in a global setting. 2. Describe the current economy and labor market, including the types of goods and services produced, the types of skills workers need, the effects of rapid technological change, and the impact of international competition.
12 Tracking Business Cycles Macroeconomics is the study of the behavior and decision making of entire economies. Microeconomics is the study of the economic behavior and decision making of individuals, families, households and businesses. A business cycle is a period of a macroeconomic expansion followed by a period of contraction. One measure of a nation s macroeconomy is gross domestic product (GDP). GDP is the total value of all final goods and services produced in a particular economy. Economists use GDP to predict business cycles
13 Promoting Economic Strength Policymakers pursue three main outcomes as they seek to stabilize the economy. Employment One aim of federal economic policy is to provide jobs for everyone who is able to work. Unemployment: 3% - 11% in US (over last 50 years) Unemployment Rate: 6.2% for July 2014 Growth Steady growth by continuing to produce additional goods and services. Price Stability Avoid sudden drastic changes in prices.
14 Encouraging Innovation The government encourages advances in technology and improvements in productivity in several ways. Technology is the process used to produce a good or service. Federal agencies fund many research and development projects. Also, new technology often evolves out of government research. Gov t Grants NASA A patent gives the inventor of a new product the exclusive right to produce and sell it for 20 years.

21 CA Standard(s) Covered 12.3 Students analyze the influence of the federal government on the American economy. 1. Understand how the role of government in a market economy often includes providing for national defense, addressing environmental concerns, defining and enforcing property rights, attempting to make markets more competitive, and protecting consumers rights.
22 Public Goods A public good is a shared good or service for which it would be impractical to make consumers pay individually and to exclude nonpayers. Public goods are funded by the public sector, the part of the economy that involves transactions of the government. A free rider is someone who would not choose to pay for a certain good or service, but who would get the benefits of it anyway if it is provided as a public good. Would you have paid for the new Bay Bridge? Do you use it?
23 Market Failures Would the free market ensure that roads are built everywhere they are needed? It s doubtful. Neither could individuals afford to pay for a freeway. A market failure is a situation in which the market, on its own, does not distribute resources efficiently.
24 Externalities An externality is an economic side effect of a good or service. The building of a new dam and creation of a lake generates: Positive Externalities A possible source of hydroelectric power Swimming Boating Fishing Lakefront views Negative Externalities Loss of wildlife habitat due to flooding Disruption of fish migration along the river Overcrowding due to tourism Noise from racing boats and other watercraft *The government tries to encourage positive externalities and limit negative externalities.
