Ask Economics Question

You are welcome to ask questions on Economics.

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 always 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 answers it also depends on my time schedule.
  4. The aim is not to do people’s homework for them, but, help in the understanding of economic concepts.
  5. The answers will not necessarily be complete. I know several of my essays on this site could be improved.
  6. Please Write the Questions clearly and with proper spelling. Some questions I have not answered because they were not clear what was meant.
  7. I will answer as a new post. Check home page of blog for new post. With question and answers

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.

If you find the information useful, you are welcome to buy me a coffee :)

  2. Hi, I can’t remember that word used to describe when a person has an advantage of being the only manufacturer/supplier of a certain product. It usually goes ‘they enjoy….. ‘ because there’s no competition.
    Thank you

  4. You have been recently appointed as the manager of the coffee shop, Café Lux. You have been directed to write a report to explain how you might attempt to change the price elasticity of demand for your products and consider which approach is most likely to be successful.

  5. Your friend is thinking about opening a hardware store. He estimates that it would cost $50,000 per year to rent the store and another $50,000 on other expenses. In order to be an entrepreneur, he would have to quit his job as an economics lecturer that earns him $100,000 per year. If your friend thinks he could sell $180,000 worth of merchandise per year, should he open the store if he is rational? Why, or why not? Explain your answer with reference to a principle of economics.
