MR.AHM Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I found an article that will make the short term aggregate supply shift backwards because of the weather in Mexico. Some oil rigs will be closed.I want some points to discuss in my commentary.What definitions beside SRAS should I define. Like what are my evaluations will be... short term, vs long term Stakeholders is easy but any points will be appreciated.And it will be closed for couple of weeks. So do I have to discuss LRASHow would you layout your commentary for something like this.Any help or advice will be appreciated. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My teacher said the articles doesn't have to be directly economically related.. I only want ideas on what areas I can evaluate. short term long term Teach me to distinguish You don't have to I do know Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dessskris Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 those two statements clearly imply that you have a REALLY BAD teacher.in your article there MUST be an economic problem, which I don't really see. and there should be economic theories demonstrated in the article, which again I do not see. and you should be able to include a diagram relevant to the article, which I do not know what kind of diagram you can plot in this commentary.don't you have any notes or textbook to look up? or can someone please explain to him what the difference is?

I know the difference I was being sarcastic and I thought I said you don't have to then.. I can see aggregate supply issue... some sort of inflation may occur And I was thinking of including SRAS And my teacher is not BAD. Please don't judge anyone just like that... He is the best teacher in economics I've ever seen. and will ever be... and I said it doesn't have to be DIRECTLY related ... please read carefully Edited September 18, 2011 by MR.AHM Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dessskris Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 gosh, you think i was blind? your article needs to have an economic issue, so it needs to be related to econ! how can an article be indirectly related to econ and have an economic problem?I'm sick of this. I'll let Jirashimosu or other econ students to deal with you. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sick of this. I'll let Jirashimosu or other econ students to deal with you. Finally Well, an example would be for an indirect relation is an improvement in technology or research of an important product. For example improvement in oil recovery. Increase aggregate supply of oil.. And oil is a very important product that will have a lot of effects on other products and markets. You can talk about supply and demand about this. There is a bit of economics in it. You can evaluate in many areas. like reduce inflation in the Long term. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dessskris Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 sheesh. dude. seriously. I still don't think it's an appropriate article for an econ IA. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CkyBlue Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Uhm. Well I think you've already mentioned this a bit, but oil is a prime resource. I suppose you could look up what major markets are affected by oil, and how the change in supply would affect them. I don't really see much to talk about, besides that the supply of oil might tumble down. You could also talk a bit about the unemployment, and how that affects the production.:/ I don't even know what aspect in which you are focusing. I don't like this article much either, since there is not really a clear topic, because an far as I can see you are either going to scratch the surface of Macroeconomics or International Trade since we are talking about how a global resource might affect other markets everywhere.That is my opinion, try to get someone else's to confirm.....

KiMHarry94 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) IMO, this article does not really fit into any economic theory, as it is simply a temporary event caused by the natural disaster and doesn't really drastically affect supply. And FYI, it doesn't really even deal with Aggregate supply, but just supply in general. Aggregate supply is the total level of supply in the economy, so it doesn't just take one resource or good in general, but it is like the total of the goods supplied. Supply in general is the willingness and ability of producers to produce a quantity of a good or service at a given price in a given time period, which fits more with a specific resource or a good like oil here.

Summer Glau Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 As everyone else has said, I don't think it's appropriate either. It's about a hurricane that might devastate these oil firms, but it hasn't actually happened. Everything in the article is just speculative; nothing has really happened yet. Therefore, there are no effects for you to talk about. It talks more about the hurricane than the supply of oil, which gives you very little to talk about. It's not related to SRAS because of the temporary nature of it.I suggest you find an article where something has actually happened, and some effects of what happened are stated in the article without going into too much detail. You'll have more to talk about that way. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Internationalbaccawhat Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Aggregate supply of oil isn't a valid phrase lol 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
