How did everyone find Paper 1? I struggled with the 8 marker in terms of the diagram. I did the negative production externality but was unsure how it’d look like. So I did shift in MPC to account for the marginal social costs.
With 10 marker i talked about the divorce of ownership problem where it’s shareholders vs managers and managers exploited their position.
15 marker i said they raised prices as theres less competition from thomas cook. evaluated that they might have to abandon this strategy because other firms might offer lower prices on holiday deals.
then i said they were trying to profit maximise because of brexit uncertainty and given the market conditions itd be best for them to earn some supernormal profit now.
25 marker on NLW.
Overall the paper kinda knocked my confidence in micro. i hope paper 2 is better...

I feel like this is the hardest micro paper I’ve ever did. All the data response question and 25 mark are really tricky to answer. Kind run out of time in the end

I did over production on fuel. So using efficiency fuel means deadweight loss can be eliminated. I also talked about this rise cost of production, so price increase lead to demand decrease.
I think I put both positive? I’m literally rushing through section A, cos I did section B and C first. So I only got 10 mins left for section A.

Did you attempt the 8 marker? Another person thought it was a consumption externality.

Just wondering, what did you put with disadvantages of rise in NLW?

my evaluation was that economist alan kreuger has argued that it’s not often the case and that empirical data matters more than theory. social care workers have often bonded with the people they’re with therefore less likely to be unemployed
second evaluation was trade unions protecting full time people from being dismissed. however i said it’s not that effective because trade union power has decreased so it’s still a disadvantage
overall i said that there might be some unemployment but workers can be more productive as wirh low wages they’re unmotivated to work anyway

I talked about 1) unemployment 2) changes from full time contracts to zero hour contracts in the gig economy which reduces job security/sick leave etc and said there are numerous studies showing that people have often been underpaid
