In economics , a normative statement expresses a value judgement about whether a situation is subjectively desirable or undesirable. The world would be a better place if The Moon is made of green cheese the moon were made of green cheese is a normative statement because it expresses a judgement about what ought to be. Notice that there is no way of testing the veracity of the statement even if you disagree with it, you have no sure way of proving to someone who believes the statement that he or she is wrong by mere appeal to facts. Normative statements are characterised by the modal verbs should , would or could . They form the basis of normative economics , and are the opposite of positive statement s.

A purported statement may be meaningless if its terms are undefined, or more precisely if it contains unbound variables. For instance, the sentence All of the fronnicks have three sazzles apiece is meaningless if the terms fronnick and sazzle are undefined or unbound .

The opening statement is generally constructed to serve as a road map for the fact finder. This is especially essential, in many jury trials, since jurors at least theoretically know nothing at all about the case before the trial, or if they do, they are strictly instructed by the judge to put preconceived notions aside .
