Have a feeling the macroeconomic stuff won't come up as a lot of that (inflation/monetary) came up in January.
Likely something to do with evidences: C, E and F and possible A for a smaller question. Perhaps something on subsidies for buses/roads as merit goods/road pricing


really?! Damn, I dont get the E and F ones, I haven't managed to find much info about it..:/
But yeah..I think externalities and subsidies and public transport too..
do you think they will do Fuel alternatives as well? Like evidence H?

What do you think is going to come up, I'm dreading this exam I never quite know how to break down the marks and apply my knowledge to get full marks.

Any tips to do well? :tongue:

Evidence H very unlikely as they did a lot on it last time. Evidence E and F are commenting mainly on the private benefits of cars but also how it divides society (link to inequality).
Are we meant to be drawing graphs for this exam?
Guys what should I know about government intervention?
What I Know is that:
1. Government intervenes to correct market failure
2. To protect consumers from monopoly like powers
What are the drawbacks of govt. intervention?
How do I apply to case study?
What are the roles for OFT and CC and EU CC in road transport???
How does inequality contribute to market failure and how does providing bus services lead to equity???]\
WILL GIVE A +REP!

Calm down first of all. We're given an extra piece of evidence I was told in the exam. I don't know anything about broadcasting. :/

How did everyone find this exam?

I thought it was OK - I preferred the 30 mark question this time!

Could have been a lot worse :smile:
30 markers meant how effective are like policies, such as subsidies, taxation and national road charging to correct market failure associated with the use of vehicles, e.g. emissions, pollution, inequality??????????????
20 marker was ****!
10 markers meant smth like how rising fuel prices contribute to inflation above target?? Maybe like, greater prices, such as imposition on trucs and diesel would increase their costs and hence passed on at higher prices to consumers??
Supply side policies are the government measures to affect efficiency and productivity of labour, e.g. diesel cheaper to trucks??
Fiscal are the general taxation and how it affect demand??
Why trucs are negative externalities? Because they are still vehicles. Therefore, thus mean that they produce congestion and great amount of emission, especially particulates, hence affecting health and environment?
