+ How do economies answer the four basic economic questions differently?
REVIEW: Every country must answer 4 basic economic questions: What to produce? (Guns or butter?) How to produce? (Machinery? People?) How much to produce? (PPC) For whom? (Who can buy them?)
In different types of economies, people have more and less control over how they answer these questions—what they produce, how they produce it, how much they produce, and who they produce it for?
How do countries decide what to produce? By considering their COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGES: the ability of
a country to produce a good at a lower cost than another country Ex. The US imports (buys) manufactured goods (clothes) from China
because they have a lot of cheap labor and can make them for much less cost than we can
Ex. The US exports (sells) expensive products like airplanes and high tech weapons because we have advanced technology and highly skilled workers
And deciding what would increase their GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT
+Look at your country….
What do you have a comparative advantage in (what are you good at…what do you specialize in?
Discuss…
Now look at the stations… which countries will you trade with? Which countries need your product? (export) Which countries do you need products from? (import)

Who Answers Qs: Producers and consumers based on the profit motive Profit motive: people/businesses want to make $$ and will

The group that produces the most necklaces/bracelets/rings at the end of the period will earn points for their group. You must follow the rules or your group’s total for that round will not be counted!
When you are done with each round, we will write a response answering the following questions:1. What did it feel like to work under this system? Were you
efficient? Why or why not?
2. What type of economic system do you think you that was? Why?
