What is the concept of opportunity cost?

Opportunity cost is a similar concept to cost of capital, except that it suggests that "your money can only be spent once." The opportunity cost of a purchase is the loss of potential value (monetary or otherwise) incurred because one item is purchased rather than another. For example: the opportunity cost of buying a coat might be the value of having new shoes instead. In supply and demand, the question is of capital and equipment utilization -- how much of other products must you choose not to make in order to make a unit of a product? For example: how many caps will be made instead of gloves, where the opportunity cost is the value of the gloves that will not be made (the choice that was not taken).


Why do nations specialize in certain goods and services?

Because countries have different natural, human, and capital resources and different ways of combining these resources, they are not equally efficient at producing the goods and services that their residents demand. The decision to produce any good or service has an opportunity cost, which is the amount of another good or service that might otherwise have been produced. Given a choice of producing one good or another, it is more efficient to produce the good with the lower opportunity cost, using the increased production of that good to trade for the good with the higher opportunity cost.

What is role of government in economic system?

Most economists agree, with some exception, that the role of the government in an economic system is to improve market outcomes in situations where markets fail, primarily due to not meeting the mathematical conditions necessary for efficient price-vector allocations. Government intervention, when market failureoccurs, is seen as a welfare-enhancing outcome because equilibrium can be forcibly restored to a market where it would not otherwise occur. Markets in disequilibriumexperience deadweight inefficiency losses, which represent a significant opportunity cost to society.
