Correct Answer:

Normative economics

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1: Normative economics

 

  • Normative economics deals with opinions, value judgments, and what "ought to be" in an economy. It is subjective and based on personal beliefs rather than objective data.
  • It suggests policies or economic changes based on ethical considerations or social welfare.
  • Example: "The government should increase taxes on the wealthy to reduce income inequality."
  • Different economists may offer different opinions on the solution to an economic problem.
