Yes very much the case.
Yeah, monopoly hasn't been up for a while, and with a consistent record of market structures, it could very well come up. Although no monopolistic competition... so who knows. Market failure is pretty consistent too, so privatisation/mergers etc. are pretty irrelevant unless they're preferable to you.
Yeah, I suppose they wouldn't ask directly on Balance of Payments. Maybe through the form of 'reducing the trade deficit' or something along those lines, although I'm sticking to the Growth/Inflation/Unemployment essays. Unless something familiar comes up with development.
Any thoughts on the data response?
