Analyses the production of goods and services in aggregate and the requirement for macroeconomic stability to identify the conditions under which government intervention in production and income distribution is recommended. (60% weighting). The answer synthesises the theory in relation to the analysis of macroeconomic stability with new insights providing an in-depth application of the theory of government macroeconomic intervention along with clearly labelled relevant diagrams to produce a comprehensive analysis that is used as the basis for identifying the correct government policy decisions within the context of specific macroeconomic circumstances. The answer evaluates the theory in relation to the analysis of macroeconomic stability and recognises that movements away from equilibrium may require government intervention. Decisions based on analysis correctly reflect the options available given specified market conditions and are presented through a sound argument showing good judgement. However, minor errors have been found in the narrative or use of diagrams. The answer correctly interprets the theory in relation to the analysis of macroeconomic stability and recognises that movements away from equilibrium may require government intervention. Decisions with respect to government intervention based on analysis correctly reflect the options available under the conditions specified. However, some errors have been found in the narrative or use of diagrams. The answer identifies the most important elements of theory for the analysis of macroeconomic stability and recognises that movements away from equilibrium may require government intervention. Decisions with respect to government intervention based on analysis correctly reflect the options available under the conditions specified Limited explanation and poor use of diagrams provides marginal support for the conclusions drawn. Fails to meet criteria for a pass. Provision of examples to support, illustrate or elaborate the application of the economic principles or theory to macroeconomic conditions prevailing in Australia and to macroeconomic policy decisions (20% weighting). The answer provides an example or examples which support the synthesis of the theory in relation to macroeconomic stability and the intervention of government to impact on production and the distribution of income with new insights to support the analyse of the question and/or the decisions based on this analysis. The narrative makes a strong link between the example(s), existing theory and new insights and the application of each to policy. The answer provides an example or examples which support the evaluation of the theory in relation to macroeconomic stability and the intervention of government to impact on production and the distribution of income and/or the decisions based on this analysis. The narrative makes a strong link between the example(s) and theory and their application to policy. The answer provides an example or examples which support the interpretation of the theory in relation to macroeconomic stability and the intervention of government to impact on production and the distribution of income to support the analysis the question and/or the decisions based on this analysis. The narrative makes the link between the example(s) and theory and their application to policy with only minor lapses in logic. The answer provides an example or examples which exhibit the most important elements of theory in relation to macroeconomic stability and the intervention of government to impact on production and the distribution of income to support the analysis of the question and/or the decisions based on this analysis.

Presentation back to top Answers should be typed and diagrams must be clear and neat and preferably drawn electronically. Hand-drawn diagrams are acceptable. Sources used in your answer shou
ld be fully referenced in APA 6th style. The answer to the question should be divided into three parts: Part 1: Introduction The introduction sets up your response by succinctly stating your understanding of the issues, what you think is the best way to analyse the situation – including choice of theory and sources of evidence, what type of findings you expect and what potential applications you expect there to be. Part 2: Analysis The analysis will represent the bulk of your work. Here you will provide your answer in detail by drawing upon the literature, the theory and the evidence to come up with an answer to the question posed. You may find that you want to break this section up into a number of sub-parts – one for a detailed discussion of the issues including your non-technical response, one for a detailed analysis of the tools of analysis you will use (theory), one for your extensive consideration of the evidence, one where you draw together your information and findings along with their implications. Part 3: Conclusion In the conclusion you briefly and succinctly review what you have done in answer to the question and indicate what further issues there might be to be considered.
