Economic Questions V

You are welcome to ask questions on Economics. I am looking to explain economic principles / ideas/ recent developments in economics. Due to the volume of questions, I can no longer promise to answer. But, I will try if it meets below criteria.

I will post the answer on this blog, for everyone to benefit from. I never email individual answers

Please Bear In Mind

  1. Use google custom search (top right) to see if question has been asked. If I have already answered a question I don’t tend to repeat it.
  2. The replies will be guidance and not for duplication. Your essays should be your own work.
  3. Don’t ask me to do your coursework / assignment e.t.c. The answer will be published here where your teacher can see it.
  4. My speciality is economics for British A Level standard.
  5. I don’t answer university questions or maths calculations
  6. I am looking to explain economic principles / ideas/ recent developments in economics.
  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.

  1. Hello Chris

    Consumer price index is a price set for a basket of goods. At different time this price is compared with actual price of goods. This shows increase or decrease in price. In UK, CPI was increased 2.5 percentage in June 2006 from last 12 month. In Jan 2010 it was at 112.4 and after 12 month it was 116.9. Change in CPI is 116.9-112.4=4.5points (4%)
    Petrol rate in CPI in Jan 10 was 1.11pond and in Jan11 it was 1.27 per liter(14%). So its rate increased more than whole CPI. Actually effect of energy inflation is more than its data show. Sometime other prices also increase due to increase in energy prices because energy is an important input in production of many other component of CPI. RPI has higher weight of petrol than CPI.
