Economics

J.D.R

Right, just checking to see what everyone else thinks is going to come up tomorow.

Oligopoly
Demand/Supply
National Imcome
Elasticity
Economic Growth and Development


I could really use some help reinforcing this list, or seeing what others are doing.

Also, can anyone remember what the topical issue were when the papers were being drawn up? I know NAMA will be on the paper is some shape or form, but I haven;t learnt any of the figure or anything, so if it mess's up my National Income bit I'm screwed.

And, what were the common topics on the mocks? All I can remember being on both was Oligopoly.

Any help is appreciated

Don't just depend on Oligopoly, if we have learnt something from this leaving cert, it is predictions are out the window.

J.D.R

Well, accounting was dead on for me (ish). If onligopoly doesn't come up as a whole question, the only thing I think they will do is somethying like "Explain the main differenced between Oligoploy and..."

Remember Oligopoly sort of came up last year(the supermarkets). I'd watch out for PC as well

I took up economics on my own this year so am really freaking out about it. I would love an A1 but not totally sure what to study!
I have these done so far:
Elasticity
Demand and supply
Factors of production
all the markets
international trade
economic growth and development
population

Is that enough?!

Ashashi

Seeing as you only answer 4 questions, you are grand. You have practically everything covered for 4 questions.

Also, when people say population, what do you mean? My book doesn't have anything on population, just birth rate, fertility rate etc, is that what you mean?

Topical questions:
NAMA
Unemployment
Deflation
Cross-border shopping (i.e. £ vs. euro)
Budget Deficit (will probably come up in National Income question)

Public Sector Wage Bill came up in the mocks, and GNP vs. GDP

Hope that helps! Good luck everyone!

Yep! And just the impact of increasing/decreasing birth rates and immigration.

The guy on countdown to 906 mentioned Price Discriminating Monopolist as well as Oligopoly,the effects of Nationalisation and how elasticity effects profit levels.

That's grand so. Bring it on at this stage, quite easily one of my favorite subjects anyway.

Ok after oligoplay what else are people thinking to come up as a market structure, I have a funny feeling monoplay is going to make a show

Ashashi

I think they may throw in Monopoly, just to throw people off.

Imperfect will come up again this year. 4/1 not bad odds.

Ah get over it. English is done so quit talking rubbish about Eavan Boland. Anything I ever learnt about her has been deleted from my memory. So if you have nothing to contribute on economics please keep quiet. It
more important to me than an exam i did 2 weeks ago and cant change anything about.

Exactly why I said imperfect competition, a market has never come in in two consecutive years.

you could be lucky if they all come up as a ful question but pc and oligoplay wil only be 1 question. International trade will mix in with government in some way and taxation is never enough for a full question. have demand and supply fully covered.

GorySnake

Oligopoly
National Income
International Trade
Demand/Supply
Elasticity
Population

And maybe Capital for F.O.P.'s, I heard thats the one to come up most likely, but we didnt go through that one in school so I made not have time
Any advice for short Q's? I've been going through past exam papers and just doing them. Any advice for particular graphs? Dumb question I know.

Why do you need higher? If you feel like you're not gonna pass higher, move to ordinary?

Just the regular Demand/supply, elasticity, international trade.

I wouldn't go over the other markets now too late, sure I would say oligopoly has a good chance anyways.

The tipped things are land,oligopoly,price discriminating monopolist,demand and supply and the govt and banking come up most years..if you study those hopefully it'll be enough to cover you..and for the general ones you can kind of make up stuff about falling employment and consequences and stuff like that.For a lot of the macro if you can think on your feet and explain your reasons then they cant really be wrong.
