- [Is JC Economics Tuition Necessary If School Teaching Is Enough?](https://www.economicstuition.com.sg/is-jc-economics-tuition-necessary-if-school-teaching-is-enough/): Is JC Economics Tuition Necessary If School Teaching Is Enough? One of the most common questions parents and students ask is whether Economics tuition is truly necessary when schools already provide lectures, tutorials, and revision materials. According to Dr Anthony Fok, a former MOE Economics teacher and A Level Economics examiner, the answer depends not on effort, but on how well students understand examiner expectations. Why Economics Feels Different from Other Subjects Unlike subjects that rely heavily on content recall, A Level Economics assesses: Many students attend lectures, complete tutorials, and memorise notes, yet still struggle to improve their grades.

- [Discuss the view that an exchange-rate centred monetary policy is more appropriate than supply-side policy in mitigating a deteriorating Balance of Payments of a country.](https://www.economicstuition.com.sg/discuss-the-view-that-an-exchange-rate-centred-monetary-policy-is-more-appropriate-than-supply-side-policy-in-mitigating-a-deteriorating-balance-of-payments-of-a-country/): Body Conclusion
- [Discuss whether there is a need to change the policies adopted by the Singapore government to deal with market failure in the healthcare industry.](https://www.economicstuition.com.sg/discuss-whether-there-is-a-need-to-change-the-policies-adopted-by-the-singapore-government-to-deal-with-market-failure-in-the-healthcare-industry/): From the stand of the government, the policies to provide healthcare to society are i) to encourage consumption of healthcare so that the socially optimal level of consumption can be achieved. ii) Overcome the information failures linked to merit goods like healthcare and iii) on grounds of equity as the government believe that consumption should not be based solely on the grounds of ability to pay for such a service. Overview of measures provided by the S’pore Govt The healthcare service provided by the government is heavily subsidised for certain category of patients. The intention is an attempt to enable […]
- [Explain the market failure in the healthcare industry.](https://www.economicstuition.com.sg/explain-the-market-failure-in-the-healthcare-industry/): Market failure is the failure of markets to achieve allocative efficiency. The market failure in healthcare industry is caused by several factors like the failure to take into account positive externalities (the external benefits occur when third parties benefit from the consumption/provision of the service), consumers not being the best judge of their own welfare and imperfect information (asymmetric information). There is also market dominance by healthcare groups which may lead to under-provision of the good/service and higher prices than would exist under conditions of competition. This also results in equity issues where the free market distributes the service only […]
- [“The model of monopolistic competition best explains firm behaviour and performance in Singapore”. Discuss.](https://www.economicstuition.com.sg/the-model-of-monopolistic-competition-best-explains-firm-behaviour-and-performance-in-singapore-discuss/): Introduction Monopolistic competition is a market structure where there are many firms selling a differentiated product and entry barriers are low. This structure gives rise to particular firm behaviour and performance. The behaviour of a firm pertains to price and output determination, manner of competition and tendency to engage in R&D. The performance of  a firm is measured in terms of the extent to which productive, allocative and dynamic efficiencies are achieved, variety of products and choice are provided and equity of income distribution promoted. To examine whether the model of monopolistic competition best explains firm behaviour and performance in […]
- [Explain why it is important for a country to attain its macroeconomic goals.](https://www.economicstuition.com.sg/explain-why-it-is-important-for-a-country-to-attain-its-macroeconomic-goals/): Economic growth means that national income increases. Ceteris paribus, this means that people’s purchasing power has increased. Hence, they are able to buy and enjoy more goods and services, leading to a rise in their standard of living. Economic growth means that government can collect more tax revenues to finance expenditure on infrastructure, education and health care. All these will mean that the citizens are able to enjoy a higher level of economic welfare. With low inflation, firms are better able to predict future revenue, costs and thus profits with greater certainty. Foreign investors may also be attracted to invest […]
- [Discuss the extent to which being a small and open economy affects the policy decisions to achieve price stability and full employment in Singapore.](https://www.economicstuition.com.sg/discuss-the-extent-to-which-being-a-small-and-open-economy-affects-the-policy-decisions-to-achieve-price-stability-and-full-employment-in-singapore/): Introduction Singapore has a small population of about 5 million people as well as a small geographical area of only 704 km sq. This disadvantaged her in terms of the availability of resources and size of domestic market. Due to these constraints, the Singapore economy has to be open which means that the country is highly dependent on trade, foreign investments as well as labour. Body Being open make Singapore most vulnerable to supply shocks such as increase in the price of oil and other raw materials cause by the booming economies of China and India, higher prices of food […]

Adequate limitations of such measures in correcting BOP deficit must be discussed, especially the issue of loss of CA by developed nations. Students are to provide some alternative policies that developed economies can adopt to tackle the issue of loss of CA and be able to arrive at a reasoned judgment on whether protectionism is the appropriate measure to adopt  to correct a BOP deficit due to the emergence of developing […]
- [Discuss the impact of falling domestic interest rates and rising labour productivity on the Singapore economy.](https://www.economicstuition.com.sg/discuss-the-impact-of-falling-domestic-interest-rates-and-rising-labour-productivity-on-the-singapore-economy/): 1) Explain causes of falling interest rates and rising labour productivity briefly Falling interest rates: Since the MAS targets Singapore’s exchange rate as their primary monetary policy tool, they give up control over the interest rate. Two things affect the interest rate in Singapore which has a very open economy with a well-developed financial system: So, falling interest rates in Singapore could have been due to an expected appreciation of the Singdollar or falling interest rates in other countries (especially the US – interest rate in Sg closely tracks that in the US). Rising labour productivity: In light of declining […]

- [Compare how exchange rates are determined in Singapore and USA.](https://www.economicstuition.com.sg/compare-how-exchange-rates-are-determined-in-singapore-and-usa/): Intro: Recognize that there are some similarities and differences between how exchange rates are determined in both Singapore and USA. The similarities can be broadly classified as the similar impacts that the free market mechanism has on both exchange rates and the key difference is the different exchange rate systems for both countries. Body: Similarities: Both countries’ exchange rates are subjected to market forces where similar factors affecting the demand and supply of currencies will affect the equilibrium exchange rate of the country. When the currency markets are subjected to changes in demand or supply, the price mechanism will work […]
- [Explain how market dominance and imperfect information can lead to market failure.](https://www.economicstuition.com.sg/explain-how-market-dominance-and-imperfect-information-can-lead-to-market-failure/): Introduction Market failure occurs when the operation of the market fails to achieve economic efficiency in the allocation of scarce resources i.e. it is possible to change the existing resource allocation to make someone better off without making someone else worse off. There are a few causes of market failure including market dominance and imperfect information. Body In the imperfect market structure, firms can enjoy market dominance. Such firms are price setters and thus, their demand curve is downward sloping. At the profit-maximising level of output, the price charged is greater than marginal cost. With the supernormal profits earned by […]
