purple Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 [font="Franklin Gothic Medium"]It's just like all of the other commentaries - just don't do it in the same Section as the other commentaries you did. [/font] Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedron123 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Generally commentary #4 is based on Development Economics as it's the last topic of the syllabus and the commentaries are written along the course. I'm not saying that it HAS to be related to Development Economics but in my case it is. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vvi Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Articles about economic growth/development (where you can compare the two), aid (tied/multilateral/bilateral aid), and the poverty cycle are a few areas that you can look for. It shouldn't be hard to find an article on aid or development, seeing as there's thousands of NGO's that are involved in projects worldwide.

[/font][/quote] That's incorrect. Three of the commentaries must be from different sections of the syllabus. The fourth one can be a cross-sectional (ha ha) one (e.g. Micro+Macro) or just on any of the sections. For example, my portfolio could consist of: Micro, Macro, Macro, International or Micro, Macro, International, Development or Macro, International, Development, Micro+International Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our teacher just told us that all of the commentaries had to be from different sections. But I already turned mine in, so I guess it doesn't matter for me. =] Thanks (I learn something new every day!)[/font] Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prv9450 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 You should do a commentary on the following topics. They are the best and easiest to find articles for: Micro- Minimum price eg wages, Maximum prices Market failure eg tax on cigarettes is the best one or negative externality of consumption: type of tax, why its put, effectiveness, other alterantives, weakness and effect of stake holders. Macro: Inflation and interest rates Recession and monetary policy fiscal policy government budgets Demand deficient unemployment Trade: Protectionism: tariffs and quotas are the best Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
