Y our teacher assigns you homework . Why do
you do it ? If you do , you might earn a good grade .
If you don’t do it , your grade might drop . A good
grade is an incentive . It is a reward . Getting a
low grade is a disincentive .
An economy has incentives and disincentives
too . The economy is the part of society that has
to do with making and spending money . People
spend their money on goods and services . Goods
are products people want that they can buy . For
example , apples and cars are goods . Services are
things people do for each other , such as cutting
hair or providing childcare . Incentives make people
want to spend their money .
