I am looking to explain economic principles / ideas/ recent developments in economics. I can’t promise to answer, but will try if it meets the criteria below.

  • Please don’t ask me to do your coursework / assignment e.t.c. (I can usually tell if it is a homework question!)
  • Please don’t ask any maths calculations.
  • 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. what are the names of the top 100 oil and gas companies in the world..
    ps: its not a home work or an assignment.
    thanks!!

  2. By how much would government expenditure need to increase in an economy with a multiplier of 5 if the government wished to increase aggregate demand by $1000

    And the answer is $200

    How do you calculate it?

    • I don’t think it make sense because they are meant to offer or provide a service to citizens, by default make enough income for their sustainability to avoid bail outs from the government, a surplus is a stretch.

  3. explain the effects consumers being happy with the country’s progress following the effects on price and real income

  4. In the U.S. I have noticed that most restaurants and fast food places have window signs advertising for workers. Would these minimum wage workers, as a collective, be considered a monopsony or a monopoly?

    Thank you.

  5. Will you be adding to the “Economies of Scale” section of the Barriers to Entry page — https://www.economicshelp.org/microessays/markets/barriers-entry/ — that the costs of regulation and reporting imposed by government often are a fixed cost that is more easily borne by larger firms?

    Also, a section on occupational licensure and licensing requirements that apply to firms might be a good addition. They may not be much of a consideration in the UK, but in the US, some ridiculous fraction of jobs require a license — often one unrelated to the work, or clearly created to stifle competition. And for some businesses, existing firms have to approve the entry of new competitors.
