It’s getting a bit too close now, just hope they don’t do a 2019 and make it on the edge of macro. Hope its all very clearly micro so its difficult to stray over to macro

yes just tried that paper, especially that inequality question, so hard to not talk about macro and even worse the extract was on taxation. I just end up talking about general econ and its so hard

I did analyse all the past paper from the last 6 years

Government intervention was the most common


These are the topic that haven't came in a long time
Contestable market , perfect competition , tax/subsidies, elasticity

Reply 10

Could perfect competition come up as a 25 marker or not?
As on the spec it isn’t an evaluate bullet point but all the other market structures are
