    Why does accelerating inflation only occur below the NAIRU?

    Why does accelerating inflation only occur below the NAIRU? Or, in other words, why does a NAIRU exist in the first place because accelerating inflation can occur anywhere... The logic here: a) Lowering unemployment below NAIRU → accelerating inflation (correct) If macro policy...

    CA + KAFA equation doesn't balance?

    Hey, worked this out before but it's stumbling me again. Supply of $A = Demand for $A ∴ M + Y debits + K outflow = X + Y credits + K inflow rearranging gives: ∴ M - X + Y debits - Y credits = K inflow - K outflow ∴ CAD = KAFA surplus BUT while above is what the textbook says...

    Economic Growth - A Few Hard Questions

    Hey, Thought I had nailed economic growth but evidently not as well as I had wanted to. A few quick questions: 1. Economic growth is measured through changes in the level of GDP over time. GDP (or aggregate demand or national income) = C + I + G + (X - M), and then when we look at it...

    2013 HSC - Trig Error???

    Heyo, 2013 HSC #4: Let's call theta X sin(X) = 81/135 ∴ X = sin-1 (81/135) ∴ X = 41o even trying cosine... cos(X) = 108/135 X = cos-1 (108/135) X = 41o So this is not any of the options for the multiple choice........ the closest is 37o, and that is what the marking...

    Using strategies across different syllabus dot points

    Heyo, So I have been a little bit confused with what the HSC wants in terms of financial strategies - this question isn't really as relevant to the other KBFs because there are really just generic strategies, where as in finance it is for specific things (liquidity, growth, solvency...). Here...

    Economic Growth - Components of Aggregate Demand

    Heyo, So AD = C + I + G + (X - M) meaning aggregate demand = consumption + investment + government spending + (exports - imports) BUT with government spending, is it total government spending OR is it net government spending (taking into account taxes or something)?

    To memorise essays or not?

    Hey, So I have pretty much spent the past day or so just thinking about english and the different approaches and stuff, and I'm not sure whether to memorise or not memorise. I've seen the arguments to memorise - how good is your first draft really going to be, if an essay is generic then...

    How to go about past papers?

    So this is kind of specific to maths right now however it applies to all subjects so I thought I'd post it here. What order is it best to do past papers in? Especially with general maths because 2014 was the first year with the new syllabus it becomes quite difficult to work out what to do...

    Tips on using a writer?

    I have my half yearly exams next week, and I have a problem with my writing hand so I am getting a writer.

    So, I am currently doing EBB and GGB for Mod A but the generic problem that I am having is with writing my essays. I see the question, work on the my thesis statements and introduction, but 4 hours later on the same essay I still haven't really delved into my first paragraph. Instead, I keep...

    How to take notes faster?

    I know some people are for/against notes but I still like making them as they help me understang things and mean I don't have to refer back to the textbook. Sometimes though, I find myself spending a ridiculous 10 minutes just to make notes for 1 page of the textbook... Are there any...

    Keeping your productivity up and staying energised during the weekend

    Hey, So I am trying to hit 6 hours of study a day on the weekend. And that doesn't include any tiny bits of break time - like when I do 50 minutes study 10mins off and repeat that a few times only the 50mins actually counts. Anyway, I was going for a high target like that this weekend and it...
