    Does anyone have an essay or plan on EU Directives and Immigration (impact on labour markets and economy) ?

    These questions seem the same but as separate things on the spec..

    Evaluate the implications of different market structures for resource allocation.
    Discuss the relationship between efficiency and market structures.

    Isn't resource allocation and efficiency similar so both will have the same answers, in terms of their price and output?

    These questions seem the same but as separate things on the spec..

    Evaluate the implications of different market structures for resource allocation in theory and practise
    Discuss the relationship between efficiency and market structures in lesiure markets
    Isn't resource allocation and efficiency similar so both will have the same answers, in terms of their price and output?
    yee i think they are similar, but... you missed out ( underline ), theory as in perfect competiton and comparing that to the rest, and 2nd about using it with lesiure markets.. id would say thats the only difference =)

    explain what the causes of wage differential are?
    wage differentials are caused due to each worker being unique like having different MRP levels and different skills, also vary due to discrimination. Another reason is that firms tend to equalise net benefits rather that wages therefore may offer unpleasant jobs higher wages known as conpensating differential. Also, labour is not perfectly mobile involves occupational and geographical immobility, May also be due to lack of competition on the demand side due to monopsonist or lack of competition on supply side due to Trade unions

    have i missed anything?

    Sorry to barge in but looking at the past paper questions can anyone hazard a guess as to what is most likely to come up in the F583 paper?

    Cheers

    Do you think that Migration and Inequality could both come up? Because they are both in the same part of the spec?

    What else do you think will come up? I also think monopolies could and maybe efficiency?
