Learning objective

Explain government, growth, and entrepreneurship, reproduce the worked example and justify a decision in the case study.

Before you begin

Trade, imports, and exports

Understand

Public policy, businesses, infrastructure, and skills influence production and opportunity.

Worked example

A more reliable road can reduce the cost of transporting farm products.

Analysis and common mistakes

Output growth differs from human development. A public project should examine benefits, costs, maintenance, distribution and environmental effects. Spending alone does not measure results.

Case study — reasoning

Evaluate an agricultural road using travel time, spoiled produce, access and maintenance costs before and after. Check who benefits and who bears disruption.

Knowledge check

Summary

Public policy, businesses, infrastructure, and skills influence production and opportunity.
