Focus on maintaining peace and order. An Inquiry Into the Nature and Caused of the Wealth of Nations Focus on Specialization to achieve the industrialization of the economy. David Ricardo Known for his brilliant ideas about the effects of natural resources, like land, in the development of the economy. Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns, the increasing number of people will drive man to cultivate even the idle lands to support his necessities in life. Law of Comparative Advantage principle that explained that a country benefits more in producing the products with less production cost than any country. Thomas Robert Malthus Discussed the effects of rapid increas in population. Malthusian Theory - pointed out that if population increases rapidly that the supply of the food, it can cause famine and will affect the economic activities of man. John Maynard Keynes The Law of Supply and Demand is the underlying principle of the Neoclassicists, a group where John Maynard Keynes belonged. According to Keynes, the government plays a significant role in maintaining equilibrium in the economy through public spending and keeping the balance among demand, supply, and the market prices. He was considered as the Father of Macroeconomics. General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money Father of Modern Theory of Employment Karl Marx Father of Communism Shared his principles regarding the cause of poverty in society. Believed that poverty of the proletariat or working class is caused by abusive practices of the rich capitalists that safeguard their own selfish interest in their accumulation of wealth.

Smile! God is good all the time! Social Studies 9 | 1st Quarter WESTHILL INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL First Quar ter Determinants of Demand Social Studies 9 What Affects Demand? Price is not the only factor that affects demand. There are other determinants, which affect the demand of the consumer. Population Mostly, change in number of buyers directly affects the quantity of a product demanded at each price. When buyers increase, demand is likely to increase and if buyers decrease, it will probably decrease. For example, increase in number of students will increase demand for books. Expectation Change in consumer expectations about a product may affect the quantity they demand. For example if consumers expect that future price of a product A will increase, they will demand more to save money. Conversely, if they expect that future price will decrease, they will decrease demand and wait to benefit from lower future price. Income Change in income affects demand directly in most cases. Increase in income of buyers will allow them to purchase more thus demand will be increased and decrease in income will restrict their purchases thus demand will be decreased. Normal goods - cars, pizza, discount clothing, and canned foods. Inferior goods - wine, roses, cars, home services. Preference Consumer tastes is another important determinant of demand. If consumer tastes change such that they now favor a product more, the will demand that product more and if their taste changes unfavorably they will demand lower quantity of that product. Businesses advertise their products to change consumer tastes in favor of their products. Colonial mentality Occasion For Filipinos celebrating every special event and occassion is important. Whenever there is a celebration, demand for products that are used for the occasion increases. Such as Valentine’s Day, Christmas Time, graduation and birthdays. Price When the price of goods increases then the demand decreases. There are two types of related goods, substitute goods and complementary goods. The price change of a substitute of a product usually affects the demand of the product directly. For example, price drop of solar power technology will decrease the demand for traditional electric power. Change in Price & Quantity Demanded Change in price will result in change of quantity demanded. As illustrated in the movement along the curve. It shows the signifcant effect of price on demand. Shift of the Demand Curve to the Right When the demand curve shifts to the right. Qd1 to Qd2 shows an increase in demand caused by different factors even when the price is constant. Shift of the Demand Curve to the Left When the shift of demand curve is from right to left. it shows a decrease in demand caused by the different factors even when the price is constant. Learning Targets I can identify the different determinants of Demand. I can explain how the determinants of demand affect my daily life.

Represents the amount of good and services available for Supply is also affected by price. consumption at different prices. Producers and sellers are considered suppliers. The Law of supply shows that. Law of Supply Price increase serves as incentive to seller to supply more products. States that when the price of Many producers supply products the product is high, producers at high prices; and are willing to sell more. Price and supply have direct relationship. But if the price is low, producers ten to decrease the supply assuming all other things remain constant. As the price increase, supply also increases.

Social Studies 9 | 1st Quarter First Quar ter The Concept of Allocation Social Studies 9 Economic s9 Allocation Allocation refers to the mechanism that deals with the distribution of natural resources, human resources, and physical resources to diverse uses in order to answer the problem of scarcity. Importance: The market is considered as one of the important mechanisms of allocation because it shows how the resources are being used in production. Economic s9 Allocation Focus on Expansion: Three important There are many steps to make resources expand: processes that can 1. Effective, orderly, and wise use distribute these resources, one of 2. Investment which is expansion. 3. Use of modern technology Economic Step 1 - Effective, Orderly, and Wise Use s9 Conservation Definition: Conservation is the wise use of resources. Importance: Natural resources are limited, so they need to be used wisely to ensure availability for future generations. Example: "Water is life." Implications: Severe droughts and potential water wars highlight the need for conservation. Economic Step 2 - Investment s9 Investment: Investment refers to the addition of capital stock, both in human and physical resources. Role of Government: Vital in implementing this step. Investment in Physical Resources: - Avoid depreciation effects. - Invest in new technology and machinery. Investment in Human Resources: - Enhance skills through education, workshops, seminars, and training. - Example: Implementation of the K to 12 curriculum. Economic Step 3 - Use of Modern Technology s9 Modern Technology in Resource Allocation Technology refers to technical processes and know-how in a particular field. Impact on Production: Makes production easier and faster. Increases goods available for consumption. Contributes to Gross National Product (GNP). Economic s9 Remember Allocation is critical for addressing scarcity by distributing resources effectively. Conservation, investment, and modern technology are key processes in expanding and efficiently using resources. Remember the importance of each process in sustaining resources for future generations. SY. 2024-20 25 Thank you Economists! me back! co el W First Quar ter Human Needs And Wants Social Studies 9 Social Scien ce Difference between Needs and Wants Needs - things which are necessary in order to survive. It is natural for us to sruvive. Wants - things which people consume to satisfy their desires and pleasures. The desire to achieve all our needs is the reason why we keep ourselves busy to earn a living. People are not content on simple ordinary food, clothing, and shelter. Social Scien ce Difference between Needs and Wants Wants become needs because or our environment, the people, and circumstances around us. As countries develop, human needs and wants also evolve. Now, things that was a luxury before is now necessity (cars) Progress tends to make people aspire for more self-satisfaction. This way, needs and human wants are satisfied.

With the help of market, products and services are produced and distributed so that people from different areas can have the chance to buy goods to satisfy their needs. Economic Systems Covers the structure of governance composed of institutions and mechanisms that deal with activities that answer basic questions on the needs of an economy.
