Edexcel A Level Economics A Paper 2: 9EC0 02 - 6 June 2022 [Exam Chat]

That's what Econplusdal said:
- Economic growth (Pros and cons- GDP and GNI as a measure of growth and living standards)
- Macroeconomic policies (apply them aswell in themes fiscal policy in COVID (expansionary, contractionary), monetary policy (expansionary, interest rates, global and within UK, QE and contractionary should we go negative with interest rates), supply side policies (LRAS, international competitiveness, current account, regional growth, inequalities, sustainable growth, environmentally friendly)
- Free trade and protectionism’s (PROS and CONS post Brexit, pros and cons of protectionism (trade wards- under trump and China )
- Globalisation (slowing down, pros and cons)
- Financial markets (failure, and positive)
- Income inequality (causes and consequences on income and wealth)

Well yes! Defo interventionist supply side: increasing the national minimum wage, increasing T.U bargaining power, funding childcare facilities, supporting and subsiding infant fledgling industries

If they had a question on protectionism or globalisation and said refer to a developing country of your choice can you talk about China ? Or should I talk about countries like Zambia ?

i think avoid china since its the worlds biggest economy by ppp so it doesnt fit most characteristics of a developing country

That's what I'm worried about but I'm still going to use China anyway, since it's not counted as a 'developed' country yet and my teacher said it was fine to use it (also have seen it been used in an exemplar answer). Getting information for developing countries is extremely hard even with resources online. It's not like geography where emerging countries are a thing, I think we can assume for our spec China is allowed for developing countries

Good, better than I expected. Feeling annoyed about the 25 but it wasn't bad. The only bad question I think was the financial markets one I probably only got 3 marks there and the happiness one I probably only got 6 marks there.
