I am looking to explain economic principles / ideas/ recent developments in economics. I can’t promise to answer, but will try if it meets the criteria below.

  • Please don’t ask me to do your coursework / assignment e.t.c. (I can usually tell if it is a homework question!)
  • Please don’t ask any maths calculations.
  • The question and answer will be published here so that everyone can see it (including your teacher!)
  • I aim to try and simplify economics; as a rough guide, I would aim at an understanding similar to a good British A Level student.
  • I am looking to explain economic principles/ideas/ recent developments in economics.

  1. What is de-globalisation and how does it impact developed and less developed countries and are we heading towards it?Do you feel the benefits outweigh the cosystem of a less interdependent world

  2. How do rational expectations differ from adaptive expectations and how do these influence the perception of the Phillips curve

  3. I’m just about to do a paper round at Mcolls and it is early in the morning 6 days a week and I don’t know what the pay will be like ….. anyone got a rough idea

  4. Post-Brexit, do you feel it is time to bring back keynesian style discretionary fiscal policy back to prevent the potential secular stagnation?
    Also will the austerity measures reap any benefit in a time of potentially lower confidence spending and growth?

  5. What is the funding for lending scheme and how effective is it as a tool of unconventional monetary policy as opposed to quantitative easing,forward guidance etc

  6. as you know we can expand money supply in 2 ways:
    1) increasing Base Money (by publishing money)
    2) increasing Money Multiplier (by setting aside less reserves)
    my confusion takes place here, “do we exactly determine how much those variables should be, I mean BM and MM, or they are just the output of economic activities?”
    or clearly, what’s the difference of these 2 cases:
    1) Base Money 100 and Money Multiplier 10
    2) Base Money 200 and Money Multiplier 5
    at the end of the day, our money supply will be the same, 1000, but what’s the difference?
