    "If you experience any issues, we encourage you to wait and try again later in the day." Sounds like it won't come out early this semester

    US Tariff and how it impacts domestic steel price

    Something not covered in the HSC, but might be of interest. The USA is a large open economy, it has a large impact on the world price of steel. As the world price falls to 'absorb' some of the impact of the tax (recall that tax incidence is distributed between buyers and sellers), this means...

    Now the "Assessments" page is back, as well as this new "My results" tab. Peculiarly the word 'results' is not capitalised?

    I'm not sure where I should be looking, but it says Credits in Semester 1 - Required (N/A) - Current (24) in the totals section. Don't know what that means. Edit: And the "Assessments" tab just disappeared from Sydney Student.

    Business Cycles (ECON4902) vs Economic History (ECON4913)

    Does anyone have any experience in either Business Cycles / MP (Mariano Kulish this semester) or Economic History (Jordi this semester)? Which would be better to take this semester? (Also how much maths is in Business Cycles MP?) Thanks

    Summer School

    Looks like I might need to do a law subject in summer to avoid extending my degree by too much. Anyone have any experience or advice as to which course to take in the summer, if any? (ICPL / Legal prof / Corps / Evidence)

    There may be assigned textbook questions like that. But you should be able to do them as long as you have occasional access to the book.

    The ECOS2902 lectures are largely based off the textbook, so in that sense, it's not necessary but may inform what you do in lectures.

    Ended up being one of my best subjects at uni. Not too difficult but does require some effort. Also not the most interesting lectures at times, but I enjoyed making restricted and unrestricted models.

    Tutorials are in a classroom and workshops are in a computer lab where you do things on Stata. Never really went to tutorials.

    Pros/Cons of Fixed and Floating exchange rates?

Recall the economic trilemma / impossible trinity model, where macroeconomies will usually use the money supply in order to fix the value of the currency, thus foregoing it as a tool to effect monetary policy - this may be inflationary if, for instance, a...

    Ranks needed for 99.6 ATAR?

    I went to a school with pretty much the same number of students in each subject as yours - so may even be the same school. Got ATAR similar to that, so this could be part of a combination to reach your target ATAR: English Advanced - ~2/205 Chemistry - ~30/160 3U Maths - ~150/180 (did not count...

    ECOS2901 maths content

    Similar question - I haven't done any maths courses, and I'll be going into ECOS3901 - how maths intensive is this course? Having not done ECOS2903 maths yet, is there anything that I need to know in preparation for ECOS3901? I've only done a bit of Lagrangian as required by ECOS2902 macro...
