  Tip 1-事件的影响

 

  纵观整个经济大纲,经常会要求学生评估事件对某一事物的影响。

 

  在解决这样的问题的时候,可以参考这些分析范围:

  Tip 2-集中精力于经济分析

 

  写经济essay的时候,时间总是紧张的。那么知道内容比例的划分就尤为重要,解释content占多少,简洁的explanation占多少。

 

  有一个70/30的原则。举两个例子:

  Theory of CA包含很有价值的经济分析,学生应该解释它的假想条件,比较机会成本比率,得出贸易可以获得什么。

  Material SOL要求具体的经济分析,包括实际GCP与名义上的GDP数字、收入分配、按PPP计算的GDP。

 

  Tip 3-合理性检查

 

  非常有用,但也经常被忽视的一点。意思就是看一下自己的topic sentences,是否用最直接的方式回答了问题。有时候,我们有些段落可能是用来介绍背景信息但却没有直接回答问题。

 

  举个例子

 

  Explain why the price of fuel tends to be more volatile than other secondary products.(10m)

 

  Topic Sentence(Version 1):The PED of fuel is affected by a number of factors,including its degree of necessity.Supply of fuel is also affected by a number of different factors.

  Topic Sentence(Version 2):Demand for fuel is price-inelastic due to its nature as a necessity.Supply may also fluctuate given unstable conditions in theMiddle East,a major oil producing region.An unstable supply curve coupled with an inelastic demand curve would lead to wide and frequent fluctuations in price.

  Tip 4-记住内容

 

  学习内容很多的概念时(比如说弹性概念、规模经济、进入壁垒),可以参照一个DDEE的原则保证答案的完整性。

 

  Definitions

 

  Diagrams

 

  Explanation

 

  Examples

 

  这样学习概念更方便记忆,因为之前大家的知识是分段的。

 

  比方说遇到“Differentiate between internal and external economies of scale(10m)”这样的问题,

 

  根据DDEE原则就能立马想出essay结构:

 

  Definition:Internal EOS are reaped due to growth of the firm while external EOS are independent of firm size and are attributed to growth of the industry.

 

  Diagram:Internal EOS is seen diagrammatically as a movement downwards along the long run average cost curve(LRAC)while external EOS manifests as a downward shift of the entire LRAC.

 

  Explanation/Examples:Sources of internal EOS include technical,marketing,financial or managerial economies.On the other hand,external EOS takes the form of economies of information,concentration or disintegration.
