ForWage differntial we should write about these things too ...
- Due To efficient wage theory
- increase in human capital as a result productivity and output gets increased
- People have same qualification and job but experience differs
-discirmination in the market due to color .. caste .. religion
-gender bias
-imposition of govt labour market
-rural urban differences
- elasticity of demand oand supply of labour like surgeons are often paid more than shop assistant as surgeons have inelastic demand and supply
- market imperfections
- employees having good terms with the employer
- dangerous jobs are often paid more eg working in coalmine also known as compensation wage
- labour is heterogeneous not homogeneous .. every worker has different capabilities
-ucertain working hours like doctors can be called urgently for emergency purposes

Will can explain these points with some diagrams ... of inelastic/elastic ... discrimination ..... Is this right ??

I wrote on moteory and fiscal ...
For bad gdp indicator i wrote about hidden economies .. GDP Per head calculates changes in pop whereas Gdp alone is not a good indicator ... It ignores productive services like child rearing ... Low levels of literacy make collection of inaccurate information ...Gdp calculates Material standard of living not quality of life will give e.g like if negative externalities are arising, long working hours, crime rates are rising .. monetory value of GDP is rising but actually economic growth is declining ... etc etc .........
We will also give advantages too like measuring of sol .. making international comparison possible etc ....

oh,as for the other question,I did the efficiency question.In that I explained economic effiiciency with allocative and productive efficeincy with diagrams.Showed a perfect market structure and imperfect structure and explained that efficiency may achieved with the profit motive to keep costs low but in the long run may lead to inefficiency because of monopoly or oligopoly strucutre.Again drew the diagram and showed the ineffiiciency. Stated that govt intervention could increase costs of firms by minimum wage rate so efficeny may be difficult to achieve.Explained the contrast between and public and private sector with market failure as an example.Drew negative externality to show over production and ended saying govt intervention is needed as consumers may be exploited.I hope Ill get more here sir?

Sir, for that question I took a slightly different approach, I explained both Productive and Allocative efficiencies with graphs and explained when they may be achieved. I then explained the possible reasons for inefficiency, such as abuse of monopoly power, excessive barriers to entry (large firms), lack of certain goods (merit and public) with graphs. Then explained possible government interventions; subsidies, legislation & regulation of competition and monopolies etc. and direct provision of goods and the disadvantages and benefits of each. How much would that get?

I mentioned that it was not per capita and so did not necessarily reflect average incomes, I also said it was not real GDP and so did not take into account inflation and that the higher GDP could simply have been that the value of goods produced is inflated rather than an actually higher output as well as the fact that other factors should be considered too.
