[kouklitsa]

1 word: easy!!! loved it.. somewhat expected with the labour market stuff and the Gini coeff.!

 

[a8o]

i didnt know labour market too well

 

[vaniLLa_554]

i studied the labour market stuff last so it was fresh in my head

what did u get for that calculation? government revenue from the tariff? it was simple, i just think i made a silly mistake

 

[DRAGONZ]

Short answers were quite simple. I didn't even get a chance to look at micro policy at all (blame it on bad study habits) but I used business studies knowledge for the employment relations question!

vaniLLa_554,

You'd be looking at (50-30) x (15-10) = 20 x 5 = $100

 

[Freaky]

eaaaaaaasy

Multiple choice=hard, essays =medium, short answer= piss easy


I didnt study for labour market at all, i didnt need too.. thank god i did workplace in legal studies


Pretty much anyone who did workplace in legal had an advantage... oh well! Lucky us

 

[_dhj_]

Yeah that's what I got..

Kinda overkilled some of the short answers... wanted to make sure. Hopefully full marks for this section

 

[minushuman]

Yep short answers were pretty pie, multiple choice there were a few cunts, essays weren't too bad.

I don't know why they sent out a memo advising social science head teachers to ammend the syllabus from "students should study an economy other then australia" to "students must study and economy other then australia" when it didn't appear exclusively as an essay question.

[Lil Miss Karly]

Is the gini coefficient a measure of both income and wealth inequality or is it just one of them? couldnt remember so I said both.

hahaa thats what i used to think, until i found out that an increase in interest rates means more foreign invesmtent increasing $A

 

[Skewl]

i understand how it increases foreign investment flows but also otehr investors lose confidence in the economy and the overall downturn has to lead toa depreciation, personlaly i think it can be both lets jus hope the markers think so aswell.

 

[believe2005]

Increasing interest rates to higher than overseas makes them more profitable, hence more foregn investors would demand more $AUD, thus appreciating it.

Can someone help me clarify one of the short answers, for the one about the currency movememnt of the AUD in relation to the US, was it appreciation or depreciation, personally i thought it was the former :/
