Mphil JNU Queries

[Ayushya Kaul]

Would any one have any idea how to get access to the answer key for the past year Mphil Eco papers? (CESP)

Any help would really be appreciated (or any response to point me in some direction).

[Mauli]

Hi Ayushya,
I want the answer keys to JNU MPhil too.  What we can do is solve the papers, post the answers and discuss our queries. Like its done for M.A

[Ayushya Kaul]

Sounds like a good idea. Have you done the Mphil Eco 2015 paper?

no , i have started doing 2013.
and that is a tough paper. i was kind of hoping if we could discuss 2013 and 14 before 15.
 
 if that's fine with you , i will post my answers and doubts for 2013 by tonight.

[Ayushya Kaul]

Sounds good to me. I've done 2014 quite a while back. We could discuss that too. I'll get down to 2013 also.

 You solved them quickly! I am still stuck up on a lot of them .

 for anyone who wants to add their inputs to this thread here is a link to the paper.

http://economicsentrance.weebly.com/uploads/1/1/0/5/1105777/34_a_m.phil-ph.d._economics_and_planning_ecop_136.pdf

your inputs will be appreciated, people. Though this is a forum for discussions focussing on M.A and stuff but there has been a no. of repeated questions seen in M.A and Mphil. Also, no matter how difficult they seem to be they wont be as tough as the ISI and DSE level questions.
So , it can always help you guys too.

Q4) d

Q5) d

Q6) d or b i am stuck up !!!

Q7) Doubt.

[Ayushya Kaul]

Well yes Mauli, since I skipped most of which I couldn't attempt and as you may notice I've skipped a good 14-15 of them! :p

I would urge everyone to please contribute to this discussion, would be really helpful.

[Mauli]

Lets keep this thread for 2013 . and once when we are done with this we can discuss others.
 PS: the answers i have posted is for 2013

[Ayushya Kaul]

How did you solve 3-7?

[Ayushya Kaul]

Thanks! :)

[Mauli]

I would like to change my answers earlier posted for 3-7 .

q3) In eqm dp/dt=0
     a(B1+B2*p)=0
                    p=-B1/B2
 for a positive eqm none of the above are sufficient. so d).


q4)  for necessary condn of positive eqm  : B1>0, B2<0 OR              
                                                               B1<0,B2>0     So again d).

q5) for a unique and positive eqm price it is enough if B1<0 AND B2>0   so b).

q6) If B1>0 then B2 has to necessarily be <0 for p= -B1/B2.   so b).

q7) For p to be globally stable it has to reach its max value so that it can settle down( fall back) to its eqm.
for p to be max B2<0.  so b).

[Mauli]

Can you please explain how you did q12 & 13?
 Also, for q 18 , i think it should be a).

[Ayushya Kaul]

Thanks for clearing out question 3 to 7. 
Made it much clearer :)

I'm unaware of question 13 myself, its very confusing. 
As for question 12:
Year 1: 40 % (35-45 range with error)
Year 2: 45% (40-50 range with error)
Year 3: 35 % (30-40 range with error)

Ignoring error of measurement, GDP growth seems to be uncorrelated with poverty since GDP is continously increasing in 3 years meanwhile poverty initially increases then decreases, which doesn't suggest any strong co relation as per the data. This becomes true especially while taking into error of measurement into account. While GDP may have only increased in year III, we aren't sure whether poverty has actually decreased or not given the range  of the 2 measurements.
Hence, (c).

How did you arrive at (a) for question 18?
