    Both my economics teachers recommended this site to me. It has helped me a lot too. Good luck.
    Oh. I'm using it, but it's not structured into sections, so when answering a question everything is all over the place!

    btw, is a compettive market a contestable market? both have no barriers to entry theoretically right? :/.

    Well, can anyone help me with this question..:

    With reference to the market for manual workers in an industry such as car assembly, discuss the extent to which the level of wages may differ from that determined in a perfectly competitive market. [15]

    (b) With reference to the market for manual workers in an industry such as car
    assembly, discuss the extent to which the levels of wages may differ from
    that determined in a perfectly competitive market. [15]

    Discussion of non-perfectly competitive nature of relevant industry (which
    need not be car assembly). Level of wages as determined both by S and D and
    by other factors. Firms as having some degree of monopsony power, with
    resulting effect on wages. Possibility of trade union influences on wages.
    Comparison with wage in perfectly competitive market.

    L4 For a clear discussion of the ‘extent to which’ the level of wages
    may differ in the different types of market [9-15]

    L3 For relevant analysis applied to the labour market for manual
    workers, with some attempt to compare across different types of
    market [6-8]

    L2 For some explanation of effect of at least one market failure [3-5]

    L1 Generally descriptive points about the labour market for manual
    workers, with little economic analysis [1-2]

    A competitive market can be a contestable market as it has no barriers to entry, hence many sellers/producers can join & take up this advantage to set up their business. A competitive market can only makes abnormal profit in the short run

    Contestable market - low/no barriers to entry, low sunk costs and only makes normal profit

    Hope it helped in anyway
