Syllabus & Overview
BECC-108 Guess Paper: Intermediate Microeconomics-II (Term-End Exam Focus)
This structured guess paper aligns with IGNOU’s official BAECH (SOSS) syllabus for BECC-108, emphasizing 3-hour exam efficiency and previous-year question trends (2018–2023). Below are real syllabus blocks with weighted topic breakdowns and FAQs for last-minute preparation.
1. Block-1: General Equilibrium
Weightage: 20–25% (3–4 questions, 20–30 marks). Focus on:
- Edgeworth Box & Contract Curve (2–3 questions annually; solve with indifference curves for two goods).
- Pareto Optimality & Efficiency (link to market failures; expect 1–2 theoretical questions).
- Comparative Statics (price/quantity shifts; prioritize ceteris paribus analysis).
2. Block-2: Imperfect Competition-I
Weightage: 25–30% (4–5 questions, 30–40 marks). High-yield topics:
- Cournot Model (duopoly equilibrium; derive profit functions mandatory).
- Stackelberg Leadership (time-sequence strategy; compare with Nash).
- Bertrand Paradox (price competition vs. Cournot; expect 1 numerical).
3. Block-3: Imperfect Competition-II
Weightage: 20–25% (3–4 questions, 20–30 marks). Key areas:
- Monopolistic Competition (Hotelling Model) (product differentiation; always include spatial competition).
- Oligopoly & Nash Equilibrium (payoff matrices; prioritize mixed strategies).
- Game Theory Applications (prisoner’s dilemma; link to cartel stability).
4. Block-4: Market Failure
Weightage: 15–20% (2–3 questions, 15–20 marks). Critical subtopics:
- Externalities (Positive/Negative) (Coase Theorem; expect 1 diagram-based question).
- Public Goods & Free Rider Problem (Samuelson condition; derive optimal provision).
- Asymmetric Information (Adverse selection/moral hazard; avoid Akerlof’s lemon market unless specified).
Exam Time Management (3 Hours)
- Allocate 45 mins for Block-1 (General Equilibrium) and 60 mins for Imperfect Competition (Blocks 2–3).
- Block-4 (Market Failure) deserves 30 mins; prioritize externalities/public goods diagrams.
- Solve 2 numericals (1 from Blocks 2–3, 1 from Block 4) with clear ceteris paribus assumptions.
FAQs
Q: Which blocks have the highest question frequency in TEE? A: Imperfect Competition-I (Block-2) and General Equilibrium (Block-1) dominate (40–50% combined). Focus on Cournot and Edgeworth Box for quick marks. Q: Are there recurring themes in previous papers? A: Yes. Nash Equilibrium (Blocks 2–3) and Pareto Efficiency (Block-1) appear annually. Avoid descriptive answers without mathematical derivation.Sample Question Patterns (2023 Trends)
- Block-1: Prove Pareto optimality using Edgeworth Box (10 marks).
- Block-2: Derive Cournot equilibrium for two firms (15 marks).
- Block-3: Compare Stackelberg and Nash in a duopoly (12 marks).
- Block-4: Explain free-rider problem with a public good example (8 marks).
