1. Tiếp cận đề
Assignment 1 của ECON1020 là bài foundational cho mọi sinh viên Economics. Bạn được giao một specific market (housing, coffee, EVs, online streaming, healthcare) và phải apply supply-demand framework để analyze recent changes, predict outcomes, evaluate government interventions.
Bài thường có 4 parts:
- Market description and demand-supply identification
- Equilibrium analysis with diagrams
- Impact of recent events (shifts in curves)
- Evaluation of government policies (price ceilings, taxes, subsidies)
Marker không kỳ vọng advanced math. Họ kỳ vọng bạn think clearly với supply-demand framework và communicate logically. HD papers có rigorous diagram analysis cộng với insightful real-world application. Đây là assignment làm nền cho mọi Economics course tiếp theo.

Supply and Demand Framework
Demand curve shows quantity buyers willing to purchase at each price, holding other factors constant. Downward sloping due to: substitution effect (relative price change), income effect (real income change), diminishing marginal utility. Supply curve shows quantity sellers willing to produce at each price. Upward sloping due to increasing marginal costs as production expands. Equilibrium at intersection: market clears, no shortage or surplus.
Determinants of Demand
Movement along curve = price change. Shifts in curve = non-price factors. Determinants: (1) Income (normal good demand rises with income, inferior falls), (2) Prices of related goods (substitutes increase demand, complements decrease), (3) Tastes and preferences, (4) Expectations of future prices, (5) Number of buyers, (6) Demographics. Important: distinguish between change in quantity demanded (movement) vs change in demand (shift).
Determinants of Supply
Shifts in supply curve from non-price factors: (1) Input prices (higher input costs reduce supply), (2) Technology (improvements increase supply), (3) Number of sellers, (4) Expectations, (5) Government policies (taxes reduce, subsidies increase), (6) Natural events. Same logic: movement along curve vs shift of curve.
Price Elasticity of Demand (PED)
PED = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price. Always negative (because curve slopes down), but conventionally reported as absolute value. Elastic: |PED| > 1, quantity responds strongly to price. Inelastic: |PED| < 1, quantity responds weakly. Determinants: (1) Availability of substitutes (more substitutes = more elastic), (2) Necessity vs luxury, (3) Proportion of income spent, (4) Time horizon (longer = more elastic), (5) Definition of market (narrower = more elastic).
Tax Incidence and Elasticity
Statutory incidence (who pays legally) differs from economic incidence (who actually bears burden). Burden falls more heavily on inelastic side. If demand more inelastic than supply, consumers pay larger share of tax through higher prices. If supply more inelastic, producers absorb more through lower net prices. Cigarette tax mostly on consumers (very inelastic demand). Land tax mostly on landowners (perfectly inelastic supply).
Welfare Analysis
Consumer surplus = area below demand curve, above price, up to quantity. Producer surplus = area above supply curve, below price. Total surplus = sum, maximized at competitive equilibrium. Government intervention typically reduces total surplus (deadweight loss) but may improve equity or address externalities. Trade-off between efficiency and equity central to policy debate.
4. Tips làm bài
Tip 1: Diagram quality matters greatly. Hand-drawn acceptable but neat. Excel/PowerPoint better. Each diagram: axes labelled (Price, Quantity), curves clearly identified, equilibrium points marked, shifts shown with arrows, caption explaining what diagram shows. 4-6 diagrams typical for HD paper.
Tip 2: Choose narrow specific market. Don't say "the food market." Say "the specialty coffee bean market in Melbourne CBD" or "electric vehicles under $50,000 in Vietnam." Specific market makes analysis sharper. Easier to identify suppliers, buyers, recent events.
Tip 3: Quantify shifts where possible. Don't just say "demand increased." Try: "Demand for electric vehicles in Vietnam doubled from 2023 to 2024, with VinFast sales rising from 23,500 to 47,200 units, partly driven by government registration fee waiver effective March 2024." Numbers ground analysis.
Tip 4: Estimate elasticity from real data. If price changed 10% and quantity changed 4%, PED ≈ 0.4 (inelastic). Pull data from industry reports, ABS, GSO Vietnam, ABS housing statistics. Even rough estimates show analytical effort. Reference source.
Tip 5: Multiple curves shifting simultaneously. Real markets often see both supply and demand shifting at once. Show this with two-step diagram: first shift demand, then shift supply, identify final equilibrium. Discuss which effect dominates. VD: housing market 2022-2024 saw demand fall (rates rose) and supply increase (delayed construction completing), both pushing prices down, magnitude depends on relative shifts.
Tip 6: Government intervention with full welfare analysis. Don't just describe policy. Show diagram with: original equilibrium, post-intervention equilibrium, consumer surplus area, producer surplus area, government revenue (for tax) or cost (for subsidy), deadweight loss. Calculate areas if numbers given. Discuss who wins, who loses, by how much.
Tip 7: Acknowledge limitations of model. Supply-demand assumes perfect competition, perfect information, no externalities. Real markets often violate these. Discuss when model breaks down: monopolies (single seller sets price), externalities (pollution not in private cost), information asymmetry (used car market). Sophisticated analysis acknowledges model boundaries.
Tip 8: Recent events from credible sources. Reference RBA, ABS, IBISWorld industry reports, Statista, government policy announcements. Vietnam: GSO statistics, Ministry of Industry and Trade, sector associations. Citations show research effort. RMIT typically expects Harvard format.
