Yes, I've come across this... Was looking for any particular case studies where government intervention has helped though

Yes... Not really sure how to revise it... Trying to cover all bases regarding market failure and government intervention. Do you have it?
Do you think the questions will be solely on these topics, or will they bring other topics in to confuse us too?

They can question anything in the specification. Not sure why this would be to 'confuse you'.

Anything can be justified as successful, for example when the goverment privatised the energy market it was successful in the beginning at providing lower prices but in the long run it just has lead to higher prices
Another successful intervention was eu price caps, there was dispute that mobile phone companies were charging extortionate prices to customers on holiday in the EU now the rate is the same as it is in the UK
It's really how you justify it more or less there's loads of examples out there

Do I have what?
Watch econplusdals videos, nothing beats them.
I have a feeling it may be financial markets, I'd revise everything though, can never be sure. What exam board do you do?

What makes you think the questions will only be on those 2 topics?

Because, the context of the exam on the pre-release is market failure and government intervention... Don't see how they'd be able to bring in other topics that have no link.. They obviously will to some extent though...

I am with Edexcel - So I assume you are not. We don't get a pre-release.
What exam board are you?

Clearly there has been a misunderstanding on my behalf. Sorry about that.

I am with Edexcel too, doing Economics B? There is a pre-release for this... For Economics A I am not too sure if there is which could explain it..

It doesn't look at the banks we bailed them out and their still not making a profit

Market failure

The consequences would have been far greater, had the banks not been rescued.

Why did the banks need bailing out?

Bail out the people and arrest the bankers.

Another good example of government intervention is when Morrison took over SafeWay.
Due to SafeWays large number of stores across the UK, the Office of Fair Trading, the CMA's predecessor, forced Morrison to sell of over 50 of the SafeWay outlets to ensure a fair share of the market, preventing Morrison from gaining any monopoly power in certain locations
Some basic info on the case: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3542291.stm
OFT influence on the case: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3142180.stm
Hope this helps!

Also i need some help.
The pre-release says something about "market failure and its impact on stakeholders"
is this correct, for example, consumers may pay more for service if they have a lack of info.
Am i along the right lines?
