Readers Questions IV

by

You are welcome to ask questions on Economics. However, due to volume of questions, I can no longer promise to answer all questions.

I will post the answer on this blog, for everyone to benefit from.

I shall try to answer the economics question and / or point to other resources but please bear in mind.

  1. The replies will be guidance and not for duplication. Your essays should be your own work.
  2. My speciality is economics for British A Level standard. My university economics is rusty in parts, because generally I don’t use it in teaching A level economics.
  3. I can’t guarantee to always give full answers it also depends on my time schedule.
  4. I will answer as a new post. Check home page of blog for new post. With question and answers
  5. Generally, I don’t answer questions, which involve mathematical calculations, they tend to be doing someone’s homework. however, I may give examples, of calculations, if I think it helps explain economics principles.

I studied PPE at Lady Margaret Hall college, Oxford University, and currently work as an Economics A Level teacher. I have also examined several different economic units for Edexcel AS and A2.

  1. if you could help me i really need to know what is effects on output and interest rateif there is an autonomous decrease in investment within the monetarist model.

  2. Hi Tejvan,

    Could I submit a question and ask your thoughts on a economic issue?

    What effect would a long period of very low or zero interest rates have on savers, borrowers and financial businesses in the US and UK?

    I’ve read a bit about what happened in Japan in the 90s, but despite zero interest rates, Japanese saving levels still remained high. Traditionally the US and UK don’t have saving levels as high as Japan. Bascially I’m asking if the US and UK economy would behave the same way as Japan’s?

    Any thoughts on this issue would be very welcome.

    Thanks

  5. I have to write an economic anlaysis for a product or service in an electricity and gas company but I have never seen one, let alone written one before! Please can you point me in the right direction for some examples and provide insight to the key points that should be included in the analysis?

    Thanks

  7. Hi,

    My questions are about debt and interest rates.

    The Bank of England has recently reduced interest rates, i.e. the rate at which they lend to banks. Given that the UK has a national debt, what money does the BOE lend to the banks, and if it has to borrow it, who does it borrow from? Also, if it borrows, presumably it borrows it at a higher rate than it lends and makes a loss? Is that true?

    Also, do you have any idea what the following debt figures are? I am just interested in order of magnitudes.
    UK state debt (i.e. the government’s debt).
    UK total personal debt.
    UK total corporate debt.
    Any other significant debt that I haven’t mentioned.

    Also, how are these defined when they are quoted in the media. Is it net debt? If not, do you know the corresponding value of the cash reserves?

    Many thanks in advance,
    Ian.
