Market Mysteries Revealed

ImageImageStudents tried to unravel the mysteries of the markets at a special conference in Manchester.

The 30 AS students who are studying AS Economics at Loreto College attended an Economics conference at Manchester Metropolitan University.

As well as lectures on free trade, fair trade and market structures the students had a chance to find out about careers relating to Economics.

The students also learnt about how market structure influences how economies work during these credit-crunch times. In addition they also learnt how to maximise their marks in the upcoming examinations. The day was also a chance for students to sample what it is like to go to university-style lectures.
 
One student said: “The market structure talk was very useful to find out about how competitive Astra Zeneca is in the global market and how monopolies and competitive markets work.”
 
Another said: “I enjoyed the market structure lecture because it was very interesting as it was applied to the current economic situation,”
