    Subheadings in assignment?

    You are both prime examples of why teachers are retards! Basically this is the deal. There is nothing saying that extended responses for economics must be either an 'essay' or a 'report' as you both mentioned. Further to this, an essay can have headings and indeed subheadings. The reason...

    Subheadings in assignment?

    Yeah, sure, just like how the majority of reports produced by the world's economic agencies (RBA, Treasury, world bank, IMF etc) that use headings for this very purpose are done 'wrong'. Headings are very useful for a number of reasons. Think before you comment...

    Subheadings in assignment?

    This will depend more on the idiosyncrasies of your teacher (or more specifically the marker) rather than some straight forward rule. Personally I am a fan of headings as they help you as the author to add structure to your work, and indicates to the reader precisely what that structure is...

    Competition in Industry

    Consider structuring it along the lines of the porters 5 forces model. Google it to find out more. It is a simple approach which could be quite effective for your purposes - but I stress that depends on what the question is asking.

    Why must balance of CAD + Financial & Capital AC = 0 under a floating exchange rate?

    Re: Why must balance of CAD + Financial & Capital AC = 0 under a floating exchange ra Deswa1 gives a good and simple answer. An alternative way of thinking about it, which is essentially the same as the above answer, is that one account must pay for the other. I.e. if a country has a huge...

    CAD

    Powlmao is correct, simplicity sometimes helps, but in an extended response a more nuanced response is required in order to achieve the top marks. Over simplification can also be detrimental. That is what is good about these forums as issues can be discussed and debate around these issues can...

    CAD

    But what if a CAD is used to finance investment? Through that channel injections > leakages. In actual fact it is a constraint on future consumption (and possibly investment). Not a constraint on growth. Debt trap scenarios can be a constraint on growth where it removes the capacity for...

    Cadetships - economics

    My tip is don't bother. Get yourself a good casual job while at uni, get some life experience, get good marks at uni and then apply for the graduate job that you really want. This is the most sensible way to fast track your career. Post high school cadetships are just a way for firms to get...

    Economic growth and inflation

    The simple answer is that it depends on what type of inflation you are talking about. One might argue that inflation is inevitable because as our incomes rise we demand better quality and therefore prices rise. But this is not really the inflation that we are concerned about. Inflation that is...

    natural rate of unemployment

    well imagine you have 10 people in the room. 8 are plumbers, 2 are carpenters. Imagine in this room only plumbers are needed. You can pay people as much as you want, but when all 8 plumbers are employed, more money will not generate more plumbers. So in this economy the NAIRU is 20%. Higher...

    Is it necessary to remember statistics & figures in economics?

    In my opinion you should be able to, but teachers often look for signals to show that you are doing all the right things and when they skim read essays they give marks for things like that. So do it. Regards
