Hi. If I want to give only CIE AS economics which is paper 1 and paper 2, which topics must I study from the official economics textbook?
Hello.firstly i would recommend you to take the As&A level economics as taking the whole Syllabus AS&A level will make get you a good hand Hand in economics and will help in University ahead,but again it's Completely Subjective so it's all up to you.The things you should get done for your AS level from the Textbooks are
Macroeconomics and the problems
International trade
Price system and government's intervention and role in it
Solutions for a correct balance of payment disequlibria.
I remember only this much as i had done all this for my AS economics 2 years back and ended up with a C.So i guess this should be enough if you're do it properly with proper guidance from the teacher(Unfortunately i din't had one) and you might end up with a C or a B depending on your hardwork and Dedicated.
P.S--A level is worth it.

Hi everyone! I'm studying A2 Business his year. I am quite confused at the moment about forward vertical integration. My textbook says one of the disadvantages of a manufacturer operating its own retail store is "consumers may suspect uncompetitive activity and react negatively." Well what the heck does that mean? I do not see the sense anywhere there, please help! Much appreciated! -Josephine

Since forward vertical integration takes place, the existing business takes control of the retail store too, therefore the business will tend to supply most of its products in the retail store to avoid competition. Due to this, consumers might feel the firm is trying to avoid the competition due to supplying only the firm's products. Hence consumers may restrict purchasing from the retail store.

Personally, it doesn't make much sense to me that customers would avoid the store. Is it more likely that consumer exploitation will occur? Personally I thought the manufacturer would be able to charge lower prices because their are less intermediaries to take additional markup. Thank you anyway for the clarification!
