QE has become an integral part of monetary policy in a number of countries over the last ten years. Essentially it has been part of a strategy of cheap money brought in by central banks as a policy response the 2007-08 Global Financial Crisis amid fears of a return to deflationary depression experienced in the 1930s. Economic historians will surely debate the role of Quantitative Easing (QE) in staving off a depression for many years to come.
On June 23rd 2016 the UK voted in a referendum to leave the European Union.
Prime Minister David Cameron resigned the morning after the vote
A few weeks later, Theresa May was elected leader of the Conservative Party and new Prime Minister.
The terms of the UK’s new economic relationship with the EU remain uncertain.
Hard Brexit
Means that the United Kingdom leaves the EU Single Market and trades under World Trade Organization rules
Under WTO rules, each member must grant the same market access—including charging the same tariffs—to all other members as the most favoured nation
Soft Brexit
Involves the option of staying in the Single Market (like Norway)
As a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), Norway has a free trade agreement with the European Union, which means that there are no tariffs on trade between the two
In economics, the theory of the second best concerns the situation when one or more optimality conditions cannot be satisfied.
The economists Richard Lipsey and Kelvin Lancaster showed in 1956, that if one optimality condition in an economic model cannot be satisfied, it is possible that the next-best solution involves changing other variables away from the values that would otherwise be optimal.
Politically, the theory implies that if it is infeasible to remove a particular market distortion, introducing a second (or more) market distortion may partially counteract the first, and lead to a more efficient outcome.
Students should be able to:
Explain and evaluate measures aimed at enhancing competition between firms and their impact on prices, output and market structure.
Compare and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of methods of regulation for example price capping, monitoring of prices and performance targets.

Microeconomics - Great Applied Examples for Examstutor2u
In this presentation, I have chosen loads of current examples that you might want to use as context in your microeconomics exams. We look at examples from different market structures, recent mergers and takeovers, the world's most valuable companies, the largest employer, unicorn business, de-mergers, the biggest initial public offerings (IPOs) and much else. Hopefully a useful video to go through to add some super examples into your revision notes.
This revision presentation considers the variety of stakeholders impacted by business activity. How will a change in objectives, such as a move from profit maximisation to revenue maximisation have an effect on different stakeholders?
This revision presentation looks at profit satisficing as an alternative objective for businesses. Why might firms satisfice? What are some of the possible consequences for economic welfare and efficiency?
In this short revision video, we look at the substantial productivity gap between the UK and many of the UK’s major competitor countries.
Paul Krugman, the Nobel Prize-winning economist said twenty fives years ago that “Productivity isn’t everything, but in the long run it is almost everything,”
In this presentation we consider the theory of wage-setting with a monopsony employer and the possible impact that a trade union might have on wages and employment. We also look at efficiency wage theory and mutual gains from pay bargaining between stakeholders.
For many economists, the labour market is the most important market of all to study, analyse and evaluate. Like product markets for goods and services, labour markets can also fail. The main types of labour market failure are labour immobility including skills gaps, inequality, disincentives to be economically active, labour market discrimination and the effects of monopsony power of employers.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Government Intervention in Takeovers and Mergers
1. The reasons why governments
might support or intervene in
takeovers and mergers
2. Key points
• The UK has a “light-touch” towards Govt
involvement in M&A
• Two key bodies: Competition Commission &
Office of Fair Trading
• European Union competition policy also
applies to M&A involving UK firms
• Most takeovers and mergers referred to
competition regulators are ultimately
cleared – although sometimes with
conditions
3. Key definitions
• Competition policy: Government policies to
prevent and reduce the abuse of monopoly
power
• Enterprise Act 2002: major reform of the
control of mergers and takeovers in the UK,
removing the decision-making powers of
government, other than exceptional cases, and
passing responsibility to Office of Fair Trading
and the Competition Commission.
• Monopoly: where a firm has a dominant
position in an industry or market – e.g. is able
to control supply and pricing
4. Key theory & concepts
• Abuse of monopoly power: Abuse of monopoly
power can lead to market failure and be against the
public interest. Therefore Governments are
concerned to intervene and protect the interests of
the consumers
• Cadbury’s Law: a suggested change to UK legislation
to make it harder for UK firms to accept takeovers
(60% vote rather than 50% & only long-term
shareholders may vote); not yet implemented.
• Laissez-faire: an approach to market regulation which
largely leaves the market to look after itself
5. Reasons for government intervention or
support
• Where a takeover / merger might be considered
likely to result in one firm having undue market
power (typically market share of 40% or more)
• Specific situations in which the public interest
might be threatened: e.g. Competition Act
2002 allows the Secretary of State to intervene
in the media market to ensure there is a
sufficient plurality of persons with control of
media enterprises.
• To support (or waive through) a takeover that
might be in public interest – e.g. partial
nationalisation (Lloyds HBOS)
6. UK Competition Policy
• Competition Commission
– an independent public body which conducts in-
depth inquiries into mergers, markets and the
regulation of the major regulated industries
• Office of Fair Trading
– Wide-ranging activities, including mergers
– The OFT is responsible for reviewing merger
situations, and where they may lead to a
lessening of competition, refers them to the
Competition Commission for further
investigation.
7. Examples of UK Govt Intervention
Takeover / Government / regulator response
merger
Kraft / No specific response – other than raising possibility of Cadbury’s
Cadbury Law
News Corp / Important case – UK Govt pressurised to refer the takeover bid to
Sky TV the Competition Commission as a result of phone-hacking scandal &
concerns over media plurality; eventually News Corp withdrew bid
as scale of public opposition became clear
Lloyds TSB / Government decided not to refer the Lloyds emergency rescue of
HBOS HBOS (despite obvious concerns over potential market dominance)
because of the need to protect the viability of the UK banking
system
Ferrovial / BAA Competition Commission ruled that BAA had to sell Gatwick,
Stansted and a Scottish airport as a condition of is takeover by
Ferrovial – in the interests of passengers
8. European Union Competition Policy
• Main criteria used for evaluating a
takeover / merger:
– The market position of the merged firm
(market share and other competitive
advantages)
– Strength of the remaining competitors
– Customers’ buying power
– Potential competition from new entrants
9. UK regulation – arguments for a “light touch”
• Encourages inward investment to help
develop successful UK firms (e.g. HP &
Autonomy; Tata and JLR)
• UK firms have shareholders from
around the world
• Not the business of government to
decide who owns a business (laissez-
faire)
10. UK regulation – arguments against a “light
touch”
• Some firms are strategic assets for the
UK economy (energy, transport,
utilities) - they need to be protected
• Increased risk that UK jobs will be lost
• Resist takeovers by short-termist
investors who don’t have the long-term
interests of the business at heart
11. Depends on factors
• How significant is the takeover or merger in
terms of size or potential impact?
• Does the takeover or merger take place in a
market in which the government wants to
exert greater control / regulation? E.g.
financial services, media or of national
interest?
• The geographical reach of the businesses
involved: e.g. determines whether
competition regulation in the US and
Europe applies.
12. Evaluation opportunities
• UK competition policy – often described as
having a “light touch” towards regulation.
Consensus is that it is relatively easy for firms to
be bought and sold in the UK.
• A key benefit of relatively relaxed laws about
takeovers and mergers is that inward
investment in UK firms is encouraged.
• Counter-argument: light-touch regulation leaves
UK firms exposed to hostile takeovers that are
not in the long-term interests of the UK and its
economy.
13. Key case studies – News Corp & Sky (2011)
• Sky News – important UK
broadcaster, owned by BSkyB
• News Corp has a 39.1% stake
in BSkyB – wanted to complete
a takeover
• Govt initially prepared to allow
the transaction to proceed
• Widespread concerns over
media plurality & News Corp
ethics (phone hacking) led to
eventual withdrawal of the bid
• No formal involvement of the
competition regulators
14. Key case studies – Lloyds TSB & Abbey National
(2001)
• Lloyds TSB made a £18bn bid for
Abbey National in 2001
• Govt Minister (Patricia Hewitt)
blocked the deal saying it was "against
the public interest"
• Competition Commission had
recommended the deal be blocked
after a 4 month investigation
• They believed the deal would reduce
competition in the current account
market, in which the combined
Lloyds/Abbey group would have a 27%
share.
• In 2004 Abbey was sold to Santander
for £8bn
15. Key case studies – Merger of Ryanair and Aer
Lingus (2010)
• Ryanair launched a £1,5bn hostile bid
for Aer Lingus after building a stake
after it was privatised in 2006
• 2007: European Commission declared
takeover was incompatible with EU
competition rules
• EU reason; two airlines controlled more
than 80% of all European flights to and
from Dublin airport
• European Court of Justice finally
blocked the takeover in 2010 but
allowed Ryanair to keep its 29.9% stake
• The Irish Govt retains a 25% stake in Aer
Lingus
16. Key case studies – Takeover of HP by
Heinz (2006)
• In 2006 US conglomerate Heinz
announced the takeover of UK sauce
producer HP for £470m
• Together, the two brands would have
over 80% of the branded sauce and
ketchup market
• The Competition Commission reviewed
the deal, fearing higher prices for brown
sauce and tomato ketchup.
• Shortly after the deal was cleared to
proceed
• In 2007 Heinz closed the HP factory in
Birmingham, moving production to
Holland with the loss of 125 jobs
