A2 AQA Economics Unit 3 (ECON3) 11th June 2015

Hello fellow economics students!

I haven't been able to find a dedicated thread for Economics Unit 3 (ECON3) for 2015, so I thought it would be nice to create one in order to share thoughts, worries, encouragement and (maybe) even notes.

How is everyone feeling about Economics this year?

My thoughts on unit 3 and 4 and what will come up

Unit 3

Market Structures (perfect competition most likely) or Labour.

Unit 4

Exchange Rates or Monetary Policy


Can someone help me with this question? The answer is C.. but I dont know why..

I'm only year 11 but I can explain to you why the answer is c, this is because If a maximum amount is imposed at p the accommodation has to be reduced because the rent is currently above the maximum threshold for rent.

(I'm doing economics for a level next year so this is good practice looking on these threads)
Can someone help me with the privatisation question in January 2012? Have a feeling this will come up. I'm unsure what would happen if MHPA was privatised, I suggested a natural monopoly would be created due to the costs in building a port but I still don't understand from the extract what MHPA actually do...

Environmental externalities would be a beautiful question espicially for the 15 and 25 ooooooooohhhhh yhhhhhhh

Privatisation has already come up on a previous paper (i am fairly certain) so i doubt it will come up again

Labour Market is soo much aids i hate it so much omg just wanna kill it like right now cos it sucks so much jeezus

Thanks Tazza, don't have to revise these topics now :laugh: jkjk

Would love a perfect competition question, just all about those unit 3 diagrams. But I will skip any exchange rate question in the other exam.
