Yeah I did that too, the calculation was worded so badly I didn't know whether they wanted the new Real GDP or the amount that it increased by in 2011! After reading it like 10 times I said it increased by 75bn euros, as it said in 2011 it increased by 3%. But some people were saying they added the 75bn on to the 2010 Real GDP. so annoying.
It was! Love how everyone thought exchange rates and Globalisation were the hot favourites - wrong! Funny how many people at my college commented on me being on TSR today before the exam haha! Hope everyone thought it was okay
I told many in my school to expect either Exchange Rates or Current Account and possibly Unemployment .. Got lots of thankyous ha Was a nice Paper, which questions did you do and how did you find it?

Yeah that's what my friends did they added 75bn to it because its economic growth still but at a slower rate. Like an idiot I rushed it and actually wrote a decrease of 15 bn . not too worries though only 1 or 2 marks dropped
Did the EU question: 1. UK will benefit of the EU because of the export led multiplier, trade creation (diagram), fiscal rules, exports.
2. UK will not benefit- because of the rise in budget deficits, the rise in unemployment in greeece and spain, the fact that EU is over concerned with inflation will damage growth and employment (Phillips curve). The fiscal rule will reduce confidence in businesses will lead to a fall in growth.. 3. Overall: UK will be better if they join the EU in the short term.. but in the long-term trade off will occur-inflation and unemployment and so on.. and said that UK will better generate Economic Growth with the aid of supply side policies..
Anyone put that??
I talked about trade creation and a possible export led multiplier then said the fiscal austerity in the EU causes less confidence and investment for the EU that will have negative effect for the UK.as evaluation I said the UK should focus on Keynesian policy to create strong economic growth. Your points are good too
The calculation for section A was 0.09 x 27,000,000 = 2,430,000
Anyone else get this?
Yeah, I just put 2.43 mill.. did you put population change/economic growth/externalities for the things that need to be taken into account for the standard of living?
You could have still argued that UKs best policy for economic growth would be to leave the EU and focus on exporting to the emerging economies. I think there were a few ways to tackle the question but as long as you related your points back to it and actually answered the question then you shouldn't worry what other people put.
