  • 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.

  1. Suppose I am selling chocolates in my shop. Though I know that I could sale only 50 packs I bought 70 packs based on my intuition that I could sale 70 packs. In the end I could sale only 50 packs and the rest 20 packs are left in my store. I could not sale those 20 packs. So, I would like to know whether there is any EXTERNALITY in this situation? If yes, then what is that?

  2. how do you show an ad valorem tax on a cost revenue diagram? does it have a pivotal shift in the MC curve, as the MC curve = supply curve in microeconomics. Thanks!

  3. does education perpetuate inequality? in the sense that despite means tested benefits being given , lower SES students still score lower so should universal child care be advocated or its it unfair/too stressful on the richer taxpayer?

  4. Is financing of stimulus packages for covit-19 in $Trillion by various governments through buying Bonds back (by printing money) is Debt? Debt for whom, especially when governments will force interest close to zero (real interest rate Negative).

    Governments will pay cash to unemployed to sustain their livelihood. After the virus is controlled and economy go on normal footing, who is loser here except holders of cash with negative return.

    Above scenario doesn’t make much sense. What I am missing here?

  5. i like this program…. i feel that i will learn more and i like economics a lot!!!

  6. Is this traffic congestion charge a long term or a short term solution to the problem of traffic congestion in London?
