Same as above really. Suppose with economics there aren't that many concepts to remember just about implementing the few concepts in different ways. I prefer unit 2 personally though.

Yeah time is pretty tight, thats why I did the multiple choice in less than 20 minutes and then quick definition. Then you leave a lot of time for the longer questions.

I did 27: showed demand curve shifting to left as houses less desirable due to negative externalities of noise pollution etc. Anyone else?

is this question about the children's playing ground, because of it is i don't think aqa will penalize anyone because there are other answers you could have written down.

I said because there is a lot of land available, and that land is being turned into more houses then the prices of houses will go down as supply shifts to the Right.

Depends if you justified your reason so long as you are aware that there is not only 1 answer.

I shifted the demand curve inwards on Q26 as well.
Can anyone remember what the exact question was though cos I'm worried I might have read it wrong :/

I did q27, and for the diagram i shifted supply to the right
because there was more supply of houses, which
meant an extension in demand because the price of houses
fell. For question 27d what did people write?
Anyone else find the exam was too short?? :smile:

Q27D) just wondering can you class exercise as a merit good in a way? i wrote that its underproduced and underconsumed in a free mkt economy, and the government must intervene in order to raise consumption and production to the socially optimal level? is this correct? thanks

I thought positive externalites where when additional benefits were passed down to third parties, often in the form of merit goods (which are often overproduced).. i think your definition is right though
