Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Correct answer: Organise the answer as definition, application, chain of analysis, evaluation and supported judgement..
- It is correct because it links ao3 analyse issues in economics to essay judgement 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 Analysis rather than repeating a generic question template.
