Price to consumers increases to $15, but that's because there's a $5 tax going to the government. So the revenue received by foreign firms is still based on the $10 price.

Anyone else here do ATB who would like to take a stab at what the section 1 question will be?

Shows that you can recognize applications of economic theory in the real world.

Re: 2015 HSC Economics Marathon Oops, meant retirement age, bad typo.

Re: 2015 HSC Economics Marathon Won't a decrease in the retirement rate increase the NAIRU and an increase in the retirement rate decrease the NAIRU?

What do you guys reckon it'll be this year? 100+?

It's literally just never going to be specified.

Except that the module explicitly requires context. Amusingly, textual integrity is also a key part of mod b but you at least might be able to get away with not mentioning it since the entire damn module isn't named after. No Mod A response is complete without a consideration of context.

Very detailed and very, very dense. Often goes overboard. I'd say you're better off working with Bulmer only after you've finished the course with Dixon or Riley.

With every exam the board has a set of standards based on the descriptors for each band. For example, a band 6 student might make a sophisticated argument whilst a band 5 student might only make an effective argument. Each year the board will set particular standards for a response which will...

Just said one I think, would have to check the paper though

1984+metropolis, speeches, wright
