Readers Questions IV

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. How has China maintained a relatively weak currency in spite of a large current account defecit over the past few years?

  2. What is the normal mechanism by which a central bank increases the money supply? The money supply must increase year on year if we see inflation and economic growth, if the amount of money was fixed we would either see prices fixed(no economic growth) or prices fall(economic growth, more goods same amount of money to purchase them).
    Therefore each year a central bank must create new money, how does it do this?

  3. Free trade of goods and services may benefit both countries. But does a free tade of labour inputs bring similar benefits?

  4. What are the costs and benefits of for use in a cost benefit analysis of Constructing the Olympic Site (Village/Stadiums) in London in Preparation for the 2012 Olympics.

  7. Hello again,

    I’ve recently started doing a piece of research on what the first signs of economic recovery could be (what to look out for in other words), following the current slump.

    Unfortunately (and perhaps predictably) there doesn’t appear to be much commentary on this subject. I think a lot of “experts” are reluctant to stick their necks out at the moment. And after the fuss surrounding Baroness Vadera’s “green shoots” comment, that isn’t surprising.

    However I wondered if, from a strict economic viewpoint, there might be some predictable indicators that have in the past suggested the worse was over, and the recovery was beginning.

    Inflation rising (sign of stimulus packages working?) perhaps?

    Or maybe house prices stabilising?

    Any thoughts

  8. Different British political parties have taken up different policies to balance the private and public sectors. Analyse the policies of high tax with high public spending OR low tax with low public spending.
    (are they both about fiscal policy? or one about fiscal the other monetary?)
