Answer to Question 1

Incentives are rewards for engaging in particular activities. Much of human behavior can be explained in terms of incentives. For example, grades in school are an incentive, as are paychecks for work. Incentives are important because rational human beings seeking to promote their own welfare will respond to incentives in predictable ways.
