BOP vs CAD essay (1 Viewer)

[deano777]

Quick question, is there any difference between a balance of payments essay (e.g. Describe the issues associated with trends in Australia's Balance of Payments. Analyse the impact of these issues on the economic performance of the Australian economy.) and a 'normal' CAD essay? Obviously the BOP contains the Capital and Financial accounts as well, but are they relevant?

Cheers

why wouldn't they be lol?

I meant how would I structure it? As in, would I attempt to make the essay 50% CA, 50% KAFA or would I mention and outline KAFA whilst going into depth on CAD? Friends seem to think BOP means talk about only CAD, but I'm not sure.

You certainly focus on the CA but obviously you would describe the links between the two categories.

do they ask balance of payment essays? usually it is just analyse reasons for persistent CAD etc

Due to CAD (causes and effects) being my best essay, I hope they don't ask BOP

The question I stated was from a practice paper put together by my tutor from other practice papers. I think he said it was from Riverside (??) but not sure what year.

i am pretty sure they dont ask analyse/examine Q on BOP, even if they did, the focus would be on CA
The most you could say is explain the relationship between CA and C and F account

You could talk about equity and FDI inflows; a majority of mining investments (~70%) are foreign owned, as a tangential way to connect the two accounts.

fuarkk. a CAD essay would be amazing.
But than again, I recon most people would smash it.

^ great way yeh, as mining investment has been primarily equity-based
