The science of economics uses models. Models are simplified structures of the real word using many generalizations and assumptions. Hypotheses are first proposed. Each hypothesis is tested with empirical data. If verified the hypothesis becomes a theory, law or principle. Models are also used to make predictions.
| Economics is concerned with the material well-being of people. It seeks to explain why and how this is achieved. |
