  1. Does economic models take care of exceptional productivity increase. Will existing theory still work if productivity goes very high.

    Is limits of natural resource factored in our current economic model or resources are considered infinite?

  2. Hello, i’m struggling to structure essays regarding why government should intervene in some markets. Is it nothing more than a ‘for and against’ question or is it something more?

    I also would like to ask how one would be able to create ‘logical chains of reasoning’ for arguments concerning consumer welfare and deadweight loss. I struggle to see how i could do this. For example, in class, we were given an essay with the question ‘evaluate the view that competition policy is necessary’. I made an argument saying it might be necessary due to the deadweight loss in less competive markets such as the monopoly. How could i explain this further?

  3. Please how can the UK government use an expansionary monetary policy in order to lower the rate of inflation?

  4. hello.
    what is meant by parastatal?
    and what are the bottlenecks of public enterprises?

  5. How can utilization and payment of skilled human resource help in solving a country’s economic recession problem?

  6. I am getting confused why the Keynesian think fiscal policy is ineffective.
    Why the Monetary think fiscal policy is also ineffective.
    How can we differentiate extreme Keynesian from liberal Keynesian with the (IS AND LM) curve.
    How did the Philip curve relate inflation with unemployment.
    Explanation of the new classical also.

  7. I have a doubt on time value concept. Money now is preferred over the same money over an year. So the lender demands an interest.
    In my opinion, Money of now, say 1000 dollar ,might worth less after a year due to inflation. So interest is just covering the possible inflation rate plus a profit. Is there any theory that state any relation time value with inflation? Because for me it looks more sense to say that value of money decreases by time is just because of inflation.

  8. Explanation of liquidity preference theory including underlying sub topics such as lonable fund theory and diagrams. It would be great if Economic growth in relation to (gdp, gni, nnp) can be explained as well in terms of living standards. Thank you 🙂
