Yes. There are a few areas that have not been examined in the first two papers and could feature in Paper 3.
Micro: Market structure: monopoly, natural monopoly, oligopoly, collusion, nationalisation / regulation
Macro: Exchange rates. protectionism, globalisation, financial markets.
Development economics appeared as an 25-marker. But there may still be a case study related to development in Paper 3.

What does everyone think the essays will be like? I'm a bit scared because the paper 1 essays felt quite a lot like paper 3 essays

Reply 14

Does anyone think labour markets or government intervention will come up for micro?

Reply 15
