A2 OCR Transport Economics F584 2016 (23/06/16)

I misread the question on 2B and wrote about transport rather than transport infrastructure..

Any idea on how many marks i can get maximum?

what did u write for q2 cos i chose this question as well? also, what did u guys write for the 4 marker of change in revenue and vital for prosperity?

Lack of application assuming your analysis is correct and well developed is the lowest of any level.

********ted my way through the first bit, drew out some diagrams and talked about profit maximising and elasticity etc. Honestly think I did terribly on that, but I'm sure I've seen a past paper somewhere where you got quite a few marks just for drawing the diagram it wanted so who knows

Second part wasn't too bad, did the typical 4 efficiencies and threw in some stuff about airports, toll roads and rail tracks. Felt a bit repetitive of the similar question from section A tbh.

You?

Edit: June 2010 Q2a - 9 marks for drawing a perfectly accurate diagram with no other explanation/analysis. Question was phrased similarly to this years

can i say because of rail privatisation in uk, employment increases leading to econ growth

because rail perceived as inferior mode of transport, ppl do not demand it that much thus not good

Not to sure i would say between 13-15 i didnt do this question i did 3a and 3b. what did u write for changes in fares on revenue and economic prosperity

I think the main point was about commuting this is the key to linking with why employment increases since more people can reach work and beneficial since its cheaper......
you said due to rail privitisation but how does privitisation actuall to employment?

mentioned network rail as example of infrastructure provider
and talked about efficiencies
but what did u write for judgement?

Ah thank you, really hope thats true.

For the revenue i think i flunked as well, I wrote that its price elastic so an increase in price would lead to a decrease in quantity demanded etc

Prosperity question i can't remember what i did, loads of waffle

for the fare question I wrote about how a decrease in price would result in an increase in revenue due to increased quantity demanded, and also said that an increase in price would decrease revenue due to a decrease in quantity demanded, however an increase in fares during on peak times would increase revenue as quantity demanded would be unlikely to decrease due to it being a derived demand
(i.e. people still need to get to work so will still pay for the increased fare). How many marks is this likely to get?

Can't remember exactly, something about how it varies between different transport industries - works well for network rail because natural monopoly. Think I mentioned about how the market would probably become an oligopoly if it wasn't monopoly so not that much would change, never going to be perfectly competitive. Something else too but not sure what

privatisation generates job opportunities. employ more workers as privatised into network rail, roscos and tocs?

Did anyone do Question 4 about air travel being sustainable mode of transport what did you write about?

Any one do question 4? B went well but i think I approached A wrong. I talked about what effected demand for road transport and how it then go on to effect the environment when maybe you were meant to talk about the environmental impact only.
