Thats about it I think. Trust me, if you know the answers to all of these questions, then you will be fine for the exam. If anyone has any problems with the questions, just let me know and I can tell you, I have all the answers.

can you PM me the answers please?? thanks

[scottb3scott]

Bricking it for this exam.
I start by writing up the whole book in my own way.
Then plan all the various types of questions they can ask
Make sure i can answer all the different questions and understand what kind of exam technique to use.
Re-sat Econ 1 on may 18th for the 3rd time. It went really well, although i did only just finish it. I did the 2nd question about the NHS. Made a few errors in part saying it was a public good and showing excess demand as standard rather than free at the point of use. but other than wrote some quite good stuff.
Resitting Econ 4 for the second time this time. I didn't really put a lot of effort into revising it the first time and only got a D which gives me some hope of getting a B/C this time. Econ 3 is the most difficult though, very bulky unit in terms of theory. The layout of the exam isn't too standard either.

sounds good.

I think you should try harder for Econ 4 as it's fairly easy to score highly and offset and poor module scores. Yeah, Econ 3 is hard, but I guess it's all about preparation, I just hope the question in context a isn't something stupid like those in Jan 12. GB's are good aswell, I think you can lose about 20 marks and still get an A.

Sorry for multiple posts (I'm on phone) but could someone explain why a monopolists demand curve is elastic at the top, unit elastic in the middle and inelastic toward the bottom? Surely as the gradient is the elasticity and gradient is constant, the elasticity should be the same at all positions on the curve?

Thanks in advance. If anyone needs to see a picture and has the 'Ray Powell' AQA (big) book, it is the last page of chapter 4. Cheers

Anyone have any ideas on how to evaluate in Unit 3??

Made myself a list of things you can apply to any question:

1. In the intro, always define at least one term.

2. Note words like "always" or "inevitably" - they want you to evaluate whether it will ALWAYS happen or whether in some circumstances (e.g. in monopoly but not PC) it will not.

3. Conclude which argument is the most important/most likely to happen.

4. Short term vs long term

5. Depends on the type of firm

6. Market failure vs gvt failure (which is more desirable)

Are you talking about the kinked demand curve, for and oligopoly. A monopoly's demand/ AR curve doesn't have different elasticities in theory, its just one straight line.

Hey guys, can you use an externality diagram for poverty? Which one too? becuse I think its underconsumption .. since private benefit is lower than social benefit? (Aka they dont get education, food, shelter, health ... (or enough of it)) Cheers bruvs

[1L8A7D9]

Increasing returns to scale ~ economies of scale
Constant returns to scale ~ minimum efficient scale
Decreasing returns to scale ~ diseconomies of scale

Do these mean the same thing? IE is increasing returns to scale the same as economies of scale?#


Cheers

I would've thought you could - except a negative externalities diagram (so you're talking about private and social costs )

Returns to scale is looking at the MC curve, economies of scale is looking at the AC curve. so here:



where MC is decreasing is returns to scale (each extra worker gets more done), when it increases is diminishing returns to scale (each extra worker is less efficient). where AC decreases is EOS, where it increases is DOS.

Does anybody have any good ways of evaluating for this Unit 3? My teacher for unit 4 has given us some good points that we can use to evaluate pretty much everything in macro but my unit 3 teacher has given us nothing and i'm really struggling with evaluation?

Can you post the evaluation points for Unit 4 here please?

[Moiraclaire]

In monopoly diagrams, is the AC curve SRAC or LRAC ?
Because my teacher, and I think the textbook, says one of the disadvantages of monopoly is that there are unexploited EoS, that would inly be true if it's LRAC but I swear is SRAC, because you can't put marginal costs (A SR concept) on a graph with an AC that doesn't apply to the same time frame ?
long run equilibrium for the individual firm in a perfectly competitive market sort of proves my point... We assume that there are no economies of scale to be had in perfect competition, thus there AC curve is in the same position in the LT as the ST (unless something shifts the AC of all the firms in a market).

(Original post by sweetascandy)
Guys whats the difference between the divorce of ownership and control, and the principal agent problem? Or is it the same thing?
The former is that managers and directors have differing objectives, and the latter is that shareholders and directors have conflicting demands. Is that the difference?

I'm pretty sure they're the same thing.
