Diagram in the Commentary

[Guest ddaad]

Hello,

I was wondering if I have to find a diagram online, or if I should actually make my own diagram?

Besides that I am not sure if i have to do 3 or 4 commentaries.

And what do you think about this article relating it to international trade? http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2013/feb/13/us-and-eu-transatlantic-trade-liberalisation

Servus,

I reckon the best thing to do is to just draw the charts and diagrams yourself. If you know what you wantto show with and convey with them it takes just a few minutes to draw one manually with Paint, PowerPoint or even more easily with an actual program designed for it (e.g. http://harmon.uconn..../econgk.mhtml ; http://pixeltrick.net/ )

That way you also won't run the risk of being called out on plagiarism

It used to be 4 commentaries but after 2011 they changed it, you guys 'just' have to write 3 (1 Micro,1 Macro, 1 International).

Just skipped over the article, I'll cautiously say that it seems alright (guardian is usually a good source). It's easier to give feedback if we know what direction you're heading.

I.e. barriers of entry, market equilibrium, product dumping, and also the various aspects for Government, Producer and Consumer.

Some of the paragraphs seem too analytic though, tread carefully in those waters.

Hope it helps (and that it doesn't sound like I'm lecturing you on Eco IAs)

^^

Viel Glueck damit und auch mit den Examen!

Thanks already,

I might actually change the article, because i have trouble focussing on a certain topic.

So for the diagrams, I can just draw one, like the ones in the textbook? I mean without numbers just with quantity and price for example?

Yea, that's the trouble with finding good eco articles. That's why I was saying you need to know what you want to write about. Generally what I did was decide on the topicI want to write about and then find corresponding articles by searching with the terminology (inflation rate, income change, structural unemployment, etc.)

Graphs have to be labeled correctly though, and if you're using data from th article it should be included as well.

[Guest ddaad]

Yeah i guess I am going to try that.

So I could for example just draw one graph from the textbook that fits the topic?
