Answer:

c.the importance of secondary effects

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial results are mostly simpler to see and quantify than secondary effects, and to imagine and calculate or measure the latter is a large part of the economists position.

Recognizing the significance of side effects is essential for a smart reading of a newspaper or magazine's financial pages.
