what is everyone expecting this year? hoping international orgs will be one of the essays
This is going to sound so stupid but for trade/protectionism do you mean the impact of reduced protectionism/move to free trade impacts Australia's overall econ performance/econ objectives or the overall global economy (or both)I looked at the history of HSC economics extended response questions, and I think there'll be at least one economic policy on economic issues question, and something to do with free trade and protectionism, and maybe something to do with external stability or balance of payments
This is going to look horribly, horribly nerdy but heres the data I have to support this estimate, from the past 8 years of HSC economics estimates
(collecting data is easier than studying)
Policies impact on Economic Issues / Objectives
- One or more every single year since 2015 - 17 total
- 4 years had at least one per question
Economic Issues
- 3 included âEconomic Policiesâ
- 4 included âMacroeconomic Policiesâ
- 2 included âMicroeconomic Policiesâ
- 1 included âFiscal Policyâ
- 2 included âMonetary Policyâ
- 3 included âLabour Market Policiesâ
Issues / Objectives
- 2 included âeconomic objectivesâ (but not since 2017)
- 6 included âEconomic Growthâ
- 4 included âPrice Stabilityâ or âInflationâ
- 4 included âUnemploymentâ or âFull Employmentâ
- 4 included Distribution on income (or and) wealth
- 3 included âExternal Stabilityâ (one as both options)
- 1 included âAustralian Economyâ (2016)
- 1 included âconflicts between objectivesâ
On average (excluding general or entire objectives, such as economic objectives, Australian economy), questions included 1.5 issues / objective
- 9 included one topic
- 2 on environment
- 2 on economic objectives / economy
- 1 on economic growth
- 1 on inflation
- 1 on conflicts between objectives
- 6 included 2 topics
- 5 included economic growth
- 2 included unemployment, inflation, or distribution of income
- 1 included external stability
- 2 included 3 topics
- Both occured in the same year, both included external stability, income distribution
Trade, Globalization, Protectionism
- One or more every year except 2020
- 6 included Australia relationship with trade (such as impacts on flows, specific agreements, and impacts on objectives)
- 5 included Global Economic Growth (as a cause or effect)
- 3 included impacts of free trade and/or protectionism
- 2 included the impacts of globalization
BOP or External Stability (including exchange rates)
- 4 years, 50% chance
- 3 included the Balance of Payments or CAD
- 2 specifically referenced exchange rates (most implied / involved)
- 2 included external stability
- 1 included economic growth
China
- 2 years, 25% chance
So, yeah, totally nerdy but I would suspect that a economic policy on issues question and a trade protectionism question at the very least
i reckon the questions would align to the current AUS economy? so monetary seems very plausibleI'm assuming we will be getting a monetary policy essay are some kind of macro essay
Both (sorry) -This is going to sound so stupid but for trade/protectionism do you mean the impact of reduced protectionism/move to free trade impacts Australia's overall econ performance/econ objectives or the overall global economy (or both)
I agree, i think they will do something about either recent monetary policy trends (so COVID, pre & post) and their impact on either the economy as a whole or maybe objectives (price stability, income dis - i think its more likely on the economy as a whole tho)i reckon the questions would align to the current AUS economy? so monetary seems very plausible
for BOP or external stability, what kind of questions would they asked since they did a size & composition of factors affecting BOP last year i thinkI looked at the history of HSC economics extended response questions, and I think there'll be at least one economic policy on economic issues question, and something to do with free trade and protectionism, and maybe something to do with external stability or balance of payments

There are two different types of foreign aid. There is unconditional foreign aid which falls under net secondary debit which refers to financial resources provided without a specific G/S offered in return. There is conditional foreign aid which falls under the capital account debit which refers to foreign aid grants for SPECIFIC capital projects. As in, the money donated has to go towards a certain area.Guys does foriegn aid fall under current account or KAFA? Isnât Australia providing foriegn aid a secondary income debit? Why do some questions regard it as a capital account debit?
No, it's part of the financial account under "other investment" which accounts for loans. The credit into debit is correct though.Also, am I right here in these below statements:
An Australian company borrowing from a big overseas bank like UBS would initially be recorded as a capital account credit but eventually would become primary account debit as the loan and interest is paid back overseas.
I believe it was in a trial - but they could ask something along the lines of "Evaluate/Assess/Analyse/TWE do changes in either T&FFs or BoP specifically impact external stability.for BOP or external stability, what kind of questions would they asked since they did a size & composition of factors affecting BOP last year i think
you have to include net errors and omissions into your calculationView attachment 45363
Hey guys, does anyone know how to find the answer to this question - I keep getting the financial account as -$285
I thought I did - I did 476-102+F-89=0, which gave F as -285you have to include net errors and omissions into your calculation
I think the question is wrong, it seems as if they've added the net errors and omissions to the financial account. However, I could be wrong.I thought I did - I did 476-102+F-89=0, which gave F as -285
