  2. Opportunity Cost, Specialization, and the PPC Chapter 1, Section 2 Academic Economics

  3. Directions for the simulation • Assume the role of a farmer • ½ are Farmer A, ½ are Farmer B • Get a copy of your “Farmers directions” • Examine your goal. Choose a production option. • Get your potatoes and pineapples from your “farmland” region. • Trade with the same person every time • After each round, copy down how well you did on the ledger. • Try to meet your goal by varying your production option

  4. Debrief • How did it feel to be a farmer in region A? • In region B? • In real life, why might two different areas/countries have different production capabilities? • Can you think of examples? • How were you able to meet your goal? • Specialization and trade • Did one group of farmers benefit more from specialization and trade? • Why or why not?

  5. Goals for today • Understand why specialization and trade are more beneficial than “going it alone” • Learning what a PPC graph is and how it is used • Identify the terms opportunity cost, absoluteadvantage, and comparativeadvantage.

  6. Production Possibilities Curve/Frontier The production possibilities curve shows the maximum combination of goods and services that can be produced from a given amount of resources. Classic Example—military spending vs. domestic programs (“guns or butter”) Using a production possibilities curve, a producer can decide how to use resources.

  7. Marooned • Read the story of Selkin and Pirate Jack. As you read, take note of the definitions of the following terms: • Absolute advantage • Comparative advantage • Specialization

  8. Absolute advantage: the ability to produce more of a good or service than competitors, using the same amount of resources

  9. Opportunity Cost: the value (or “cost”) of making a choice to produce something different

  10. Specialization: performing only the function that you do best, or hold a comparative advantage in

  11. Comparative advantage: when one person’s opportunity cost for producing an item is lower than anothers

  12. Rank the top 5 things you would do with an extra hour of time tonight… • Opportunity cost = The value of the next best alternative to your choice which is given up • All remaining options are “trade-offs”, but next best to your choice is the opportunity cost
