Edexcel A Level Economics A Paper 3 (9ECO 03) - 5th June 2023 [Exam Chat]

Yeh

i dont think exchnage rate as it came up in paper 2

Any chance of development coming up, if so I’m finished?

i doubt it. paper 2 was focused on that. they’ve got to spread their questions around the spec. a question on interest rates is likely i guess. micro and macro impacts of higher interest rates

Im pretty sure there was a Q on interest rates on last years Paper 3

I mean they need to cover the spec, so if they haven't done it in paper 1 and 2, interest rates are still likely to come up. Although, monetary policy was mentioned in the 25 marker. This is just making it seem more and more likely that we're tested on labour markets or financial markets, both are topics that I despise.

What could be an example 25 marker on labour markets

don't be absurd- gov intervention was heavy in paper 1

Im calling rn 4 topics for the 25 markers:
competition policy
current account
shortages (of something)
financial markets.

Could be an impact of increasing or decreasing minimum wage, but I swear they did that before so instead it could be about causes of regulation in the labour market (they’re unlikely to ask about the causes of something imo but it has been done before when they asked about causes of something). Anything else maybe indirectly linked to labour market so unemployment/employment because of derived demand for labour etc.

i hope these are wrong🙏 only one i could do confidently is current account

nah theyre easy topics apart from financial markets

Wdym by competition policy?

Wdym by competition policy?

regulating monopolies and reducing barriers to entry etc. anything that makes the market more competitive.
