1.What is Normative Economics?[2]

Answer

Normative economics is the branch of economics that deals with what ought to be. It expresses value judgments about what is desirable and prescribes policy, rather than merely describing what exists.

Its features:

  1. It is prescriptive, not descriptive.
  2. It rests on value judgments, ethical, political or social.
  3. Its statements cannot be tested as true or false against evidence.
  4. It is also called welfare economics or policy economics.

Examples: "The government should raise the minimum wage." "Income inequality in India is too high." "The poor ought to receive free healthcare."

The test: if a statement contains should, ought, must, good, bad, fair or unjust, it is normative.
