i wrote about more disposable income so more people may buy spotify premium and tickets for events etc and then for the balance i said potential wage inflation?

how did everyone find the paper??


good paper tbf, didn't like the first 20 marker because of the extract. Maybe could've provided more data to use but the second 20 marker was good

Yeah, don't forget the % symbol cause they like markings students down for not including units

nah i didn't get that
did we all just do r&d costs/revenue x 100 bc if we did then everyone probs got the same answer unless you used the data for 2020 instead of 2021

the fall in unemployment one was weird cos technically a fall in unemployment means less people are unemployed but it didn't make sense in context of the question so i just took it to mean that there is more employment. The wording should've been a rise in unemployment. Either that or i completely messed the question up

feelings about paper 1 tomorrow?
it's so annoying that there are literally no resources online (or any discussions on here) for economics b so hopefully this can get the discussion started

Congratulations on everyone finishing this exam!


I messed up on the “falling unemployment” question - who tf words increasing employment like that
