Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Correct answer: Evaluate by considering short run, long run, stakeholder effects and magnitude before reaching an overall judgement..
- It is correct because it links 3.2.6.2 trade to trade-offs and keeps the reasoning within the evidence supplied by the question.
Explanation
Why this works
The reasoning should move from cause to transmission mechanism to consequence. Use a diagram, calculation or data point if it is relevant, then test the answer with Economics evaluation: size of effect, time period, elasticity or responsiveness, assumptions, and distribution of gains and losses.
This keeps the response specific to The international economy rather than repeating a generic question template.
