Cooperatives are groups of people who agree to work together and pool their resources.
I don't think they usually ask this in paper 2.

Oh I'm sorry..I know this as a B.S student..I don't do Economics.
What I know about co-operatives in BS is that groups of people agree to work together and pool their resources.All members in this case have one vote, no matter how many shares they have bought.The profits are shared equally and all members help in the running of the business.The work load and decision making are shared.The two most common forms of co-operativesroducer co-operatives and retail co-operatives.

Co-operatives are owned jointly by their members and are run for the benefit of those members. There are different types and for each the aims differ. Examples: consumer co-operatives, worker co-operatives etc

Okay, since there was a bigass question on Balance of Trade in Paper 2, do you think any question's gonna come from that chapter?

nice it would make us feel that the case study is easier, since it would be of our own country...
