their has never been a repeated 30 marker or 14 marker only the smaller 1s have

And those on their own right are also unique and not repeated due to different extracts to reference back to each time...

For the 2nd 30 marker on supply side policies I mentioned
Education and training
Privatisation
Decrease minimum wage so firms can take on more unemployed workers boosting productivity and RNO
are the all valid? (Especially minimum wage as it seems no ones used that?)

Hey, if you don't mind, please keep me updated as well. Really eager to find out :smile:

If it is actually something in between, hopefully grade boundaries will go lower :frown:

Will do! And I doubt it, people seem to be have been satisfied with question 2. Only reason I chose question 1 was due to my expertise on Britain's economy, I thought **** that productivity crap, yeah maybe should have reconsidered...

For the question about the current account deficit I said that one reason could be that we don't compete on quality. Obviously its not one of the obvious 'points but do you think they will accept it?

For those of you who did Q1 -

Regarding the 4 marker on Monetary Policy, I just wrote that it is a demand-side policy where the MPC changes the rate of interest and uses other monetary instruments such as quantitative easing to influence the level of AD, and then I referred back to the data of how the government is encouraging expansionary monetary policy and interest rates fell to 0.5% in March 2009

Do you think that is enough to get all the marks?

Just a random idea, maybe it rings some bells.

To what extent do demand side policies conflict between the macroeconomic objectives of the economy?

Then it gets even more confusing...

Think it is enough. Data ref will give you 2 and extra information about MPC will give you 2.
