SO i have a question. How would the Depreciation of the currency lead to inflation. Shoudnt it leads to deflation? As the Currency devalues , the purchasing power decreases , less consumer spending and investment will be injected into the economy so Firms have to lower the price of their product,isnt it? I am confused,I have never done it in macro but can I put it into my commentary.

Hello IB Econ students, I've recently started this Facebook page for all IB Econ students out there. I'm sharing great articles for commentaries and other useful resources to help you ace the subject. My aim is to create a place where you can turn to IB Economics teachers and examiners with any IB Econ related questions. Any comments are welcome about what you'd like to see there - I really want to make it social. If you found it useful, hit a like and share it with your fellow IB classmates. You can also have a look at our blog, where you can search the shared articles by the syllabus sections. Thanks, EconDaddy

Heyy! I am doing my EE on economics, i`ve chosen my topic which the market structure of second hand shops in Jyväskylä (Finland)..im still kind of lost with the research question, should i go with the rather simplistic one " what is the market structure of second hand shops in Jyväskylä" or " To what extent is the market structure of second hand shops in Jyväskylä perfect competition".. Any comments, ideas? I would really appreciate your help! So far i have asked two owners of two different second hand shops if i could interview them and they said yes. So my main problem is how to get the data or more precisely what kind of data do i need..? :/

I was thinking about using "In all IB Economics textbooks, cigarettes are the primary example of a demerit good." as an opening line in my commentary on increasing taxes on cigarettes, is it fine? If not, suggestions for an opening line will be appreciated. Thanks.

I came across this website. It gives links to articles on current topics, along with the summary of the articles, explanations for the key terms and theories used. Kind of neat. Check it out. Might come in handy when you are trying to choose a topic for the IA you have to do! www.econdiscussion.com

Hey guys! Just wondering if it was possible for anyone to provide me with a link or refferal to a website with updated notes for the May 2016 exams for Economics, would be greatly appreciated as my school only provides us with a couple of economics course books. If anyone knows of any other full notes on any of the other subjects, that would be greatly appreciated as well! From a very stressed fellow Ib student, Aseem

I am really having problems coping with economics. Please do help me if you are reading this post. 1, When interest rate decreases, is there any losers and winners. 2, For oil exporting countries such as Norway, why the fall In oil price is detrimental to the economy? My understanding is it will bring a decrease in Aggregate demand while shifting the Aggregate supply to the right, which means deflation will happen and the total output will be reduced. Is that correct ? and according to the theory of the monetarist, in the long run, only price level will be affected. Therefore, if the country is using demand pull policy to help the situation, the aim of the policy is t…

Monetary policy

A confusion about the monetary curve. When an economy is facing a recession, AG falls, which implies the demand of money also falls, entails that the Money demand shifts to the left and the interest rate will fall. In that case, the economy is operating on it own and there is no need for central bank to reduce the interest rate by increasing money supply. No point of of shifting the money supply curve to maintain low interest rate to stimulate consumption. I know there must be something wrong in my head, but plzzzzzz help.

We have recently started working on our EE's, and i have determined to write about inflation. More specifically how "manmade" inflation affects the stockmarket in Norway, and if it is healthy for our economy or not. Im not 100% done formulating my research question yet, but it will be something along the lines of: To what extent does man-made inflation affect the stockmarket in Norway? - Im planning on interviewing someone from Oslo Stock-exchange, and i have also contacted a man from my city who has made quite a bit of money from stocks. Will this be sufficient? - What economic theory is the most relevant to this topic? - What do you think about the topic overall? …

Hi. We just started working on our EE's. I have decided what subject and topic I am going to use. I have also partially phrased a research question. My subject is Economics and my topic is cryptocurrency. My research question is on the lines of how the different cryptocurrencies interfere and affect each other. I have a couple of questions regarding my primary source and what I should focus on. - Is a survey where I gather information about peoples experience with the different currencies enough? Like asking what types of cryptocurrencies they have heard of, if they use any of them, what their opinion on the different currencies are and some other general questions a…

I'm writing my first official commentary on microeconomics. I'm confused about the boundary between analysis and evaluation. Can someone explain to me with a specific economic concept, like subsidy, please? If my article talks about a government imposing subsidies for agriculture and it also mentions the subsidies are expected to exacerbate the overcapacity in the agricultural industry, what should I write for the analysis and evaluation? In this case, this is what I think: Analysis- supply curves shifts downward (because of subsidies); demand shifts to the right (due to increase in population and economic growth in that country); elasticity of supply and demand->eff…

Hi, I'm doing one of my IAs on macroeconomics, specifically an article about the recession in Japan. Would it be appropriate to include a diagram to illustrate the effect of the quantitative easing program Unless I'm mistaken the diagram to illustrate this would be a money supply/demand diagram which falls under international economics. Is this OK to include in a macro IA? Thanks.

I am so confused about the long run and the short run. According to my book, long run supply is in a long period of time , economy can adjust their cost of production freely with response to the change in price level, thus , the long term supply curve is vertical . Here is the question, if the long run supply curve shift to the right ( increase in potential output), why will the short run supply curve shifts to the right as well? And why will the demand curve shifts as well? Also will the change in short term supply brings the long term supply curve change as well?

About the cause of changes in government spending. Increase in G means increase in the real GDP. But if the government changes their priority, their spending will increase or decrease in response to the change in priority. I kinda grasp that part but my questions are. 1,What do they mean by government spending ?? If a government spends more on the welfare system or the pension scheme , but didn't actually purchase any goods and services ( Assume ), would that count as government spending? 2, is there any example for that?? Also, why income is not a factor of causing shift in aggregate demand?? Increase in national income leads to more disposable income fo…

Hi guys I have the question concerning my Microeconomics IA. I chose to analyse the following article http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11324854 It is more political than economic article, however there is a mention about increasing taxes on alcohol to fund new policies of the political party. I have already made an introduction and analysis with diagram, explaining how taxes would affect supply and how taxes would be shared between consumsers and producers and I was about to write an evaluation when my teacher told me he was not sure if it was an appropriate article for the IA. In my commentary, I am analysing practically one paragr…

Hey guys, I'm doing an IA on this article, and I'm unsure on the ceilings and floors listed. Since price ceilings must be below market equilibrium (and floors above), how is it possible to represent the price range graphically? The price floor (IDR 0.77 million) would have to go underneath the equilibrium, wouldn't it? Thanks for the help!
