To me, that sounds like a pretty strong answer. I couldn't think straight after the weird wording of the specialisation question and put something about regulations but I don't know if that's right because that would restrict the amount of water that could be extracted?
I did exactly the same. I think both indirect taxes and regulations are correct, as these are the only two forms of government intervention which would apply.

I really hope so! God, after reading some of the stuff people said they put in the paper I feel like I just didn't have my head screwed on for it. I made some pretty stupid mistakes throughout :/ Thank you again for the notes though, they were really great! How did you find it?

I did extending property rights but I don't know if that applies in this context
I drew a curve showing how the subsidies have taken an effect, then I evaluated talking about opportunity cost, time lag and magnitude and effectiveness of the subsidies. For the positives I linked it in with the extract talking about how it can make first time buyers save to pay for a deposit for a house for the mortgage
From your posts you seem like you killed it. All the best!

I found it okay. I think I dropped about 4 marks in section A, and around 10 in Section B. It was definitely trickier than the specimen paper, and I hope the grade boundaries reflect it.

Wow sounds like you did pretty well then. I worked out that dropping more than 15 would make it hard to get an A so you'll probably have done great if the grade boundaries are reflective of how difficult people found it. I didn't even have time to figure out how much I dropped but I'm pretty sure it was more than 14 :/

There's always unit 2, which historically isn't as hard. Also, you can usually drop way more than 15; even in the last year of the old spec you could drop 19 marks and get an A. The lowest grade boundary for an A let you drop 25 marks, which was in the first January the spec was sat in, back in 2010. I'd imagine for this paper, it'd be about 60/80 for an A, although I could be wrong.

Yeah I find macro a lot easier than micro. Well, I'm hoping it will all work out in my favour (and everyone else's) and the grade boundaries will be a little lower. Thanks
