<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">This post is on topic 1 of the General Economics II of the IES
examination. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Let's go through the questions in the past 4 years:-<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br />
2009-</span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Explain the<span class="apple-converted-space"><b> </b></span>concept
of "tableu Economique" as propounded by the physiocrats. (5 marks,50
words question)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">2010-</span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: '', serif, '', serif; font-size: 14pt;">State briefly the key propositions
of Monetarist School of Macro Economics. (15 marks,150 words)</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: '', serif, '', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Examine the circumstances that gave
rise to the mercantilism and those that brought about its decay. Is the world
going back to mercantilism in a new form? (30 marks, 500 words)</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b><span style="font-family: '', serif, '', serif; font-size: 14pt;">2011-</span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">"Adam Smith's concept of 'Invisible Hand'<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>teaches<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>us<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>that
everything in an economy can be left to market<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>forces." Discuss. (15 marks,150
words)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">2012-</span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">What were the mercantilist's views on trade? How does
their concept of national wealth differ from today's view?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">A mastery in this section can also equip us to supplement our
answers for questions from other parts of the paper, apart from the direct
questions from this section. An example of such a question is the
following- </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Why did Ricardo argue that a capitalist economy<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>would sooner or later reach a
'stationary state’? (Question from 2011 question paper).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">A good way to approach this section would be taking on the
different economic thoughts and schools, viz. Mercantilism Physiocrats, Classical,
Marxist, Neo-classical, Keynesian and Monetarist schools of
thought separately and identifying its chief
components. The relative importance of this topic in terms of direct
questions in the General Economics II paper is less than that of sections of
"Theory of employment, Output, Inflation, Money and Finance",
"Economic Growth and Development", "International
Economics" etc. This fact has to be kept in mind while studying this topic.
Hence, notes summarizing on the key features of every school of thought would
be useful. Special attention should also be given to the key terms and ideas of
each school. A note on the different proponents of the school of thought and
the relevance of the particular thought would make up a perfect mix for the
preparation on this topic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">For example, while studying on mercantilism, we can start with the
factors causing and shaping mercantilism (like cultural, economic, religious
and political factors), chief elements of the mercantilist thought (like
nationalism, importance to precious metals, Balance of Trade etc.), Mercantilist
views on specific subjects (like population, production, taxation etc.) and its
key writers/proponents (JB Colbert, Sir Thomas Mun etc.). We can also look upon
the relevance and if there is any debate on mercantilism in modern times (like
if there exists any kind of mercantilism in the modern world). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Chronological the next school of thought (Physiocracy) would be
starting with the background of this school of thought. Hence, while studying
physiocracy, we will also understand the criticism/problems associated with mercantilism.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Any standard book or website (like Wikipedia) can be used as
reference to this topic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Here I upload the question papers of only last 4 years... If you go through the question papers of other previous years , you can get clear with the change in the question type... Earlier the questions were more direct and now it has become more analytical which include more use of mathematical tools.. If you are not coming from mathematical background, DONT WORRY....... We will make you understand it in the coming posts... </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In my view it is better to start with General Economics II with the chapter of National Income Accounting.. The syllabus is as follows...... </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Concept of National Income and Social Accounting: Measurement of National Income,</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Inter relationship between three measures of national income in the presence of the Government</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>sector and International transactions. Environmental considerations, Green national income.</i></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First you go to the question papers and find out the questions which were asked from this part.....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. HOW DOES NDP AT FACTOR COST DIFFER FROM GNP AT MARKET PRICES? ( 2011 )</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. LIST THREE REASONS FOR NOT REGARDING GDP AS AN APPROPRIATE MEASSURE OF WELL BEING ( 2011 )</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. INDICATE HOW SUSTAINABILITY CONSIDERATIONS CAN BE BROUGHT INTO NATIONAL INCOME ACCOUNTING ( 2011 )</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. EXPLAIN THE MEANING OF "NATIONAL PRODUCT AT MARKET PRICES" AND "NATIONAL PRODUCT AT FACTOR COSTS.. ILLUSTRATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TWO TYPES OF VALUATIONS ( 2010)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. DISCUSS THE UNDERLYING CONCEPTS OF GREEN NATIONAL INCOME OF A COUNTRY ( 2009 )<br />
<br />
<a href="http://ncertbooks.prashanthellina.com/class_12.Economics.Macroeconomics/Chapter%202.pdf" style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;" target="_blank">http://ncertbooks.<wbr></wbr>prashanthellina.com/class_12.<wbr></wbr>Economics.Macroeconomics/<wbr></wbr>Chapter%202.pdf</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To cover this part start with NCERT XII chapter on National Income Accounting and use the topic of National Income and social Accounting in Modern Economics of H L Ahuja or Macro Economics of H L Ahuja or Macro Economics of M L Jhingan..... After going through these portions solve the above mentioned questions and evaluate yourself... We will discuss the answers of these questions in the coming posts depending on your responses... So feel free to comment/mail us at <b>04gp90@gmail.com</b> OR <b>abc.arunbc@gmail.com</b> and give us more suggestions so that we can improve our service...<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> The Indian Economic Service
(IES) was conceived by Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru for formulating and
implementing economic policies and programmes of the country. After
independence, economic reconstruction and development was envisioned as one of
the foremost objective and a challenge to the national planners. The most
important prerequisite in this development process was the formulation of suitable
plans, policies and measures for the effective utilisation of material,
financial and human resources. It was in this context that Pandit Jawahar Lal
Nehru envisaged the creation of a separate cadre of economists for steering the
economic development of the nation.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The initial steps towards formation
of service can be traced to 1952. On July 26, 1952, the cabinet decided that
the Planning Commission should appoint a committee to examine the question of
establishing statistical cadres to serve the general needs of different
ministries and if possible , of different states in the case of important
posts. In pursuance of this decision, the Planning Commission appointed a
committee under the chairmanship of Shri V.T.Krishnamachari, the then Deputy
Chairman of Planning Commission. The Committee submitted its report in
September 1953, recommending the formation of a service to be known as the
Statistical and Economic Advisory Service. These recommendations were
circulated to all ministries for their views. Professor Mahalnobis, the then
Honorary Statistical Adviser to the Cabinet ,however did not favour the idea of
a combined Statistical and Economic Advisory Service as he felt that purely
economic advisory duty should not be mixed up with technical and professional
work in statistics. He suggested an alternative scheme for creation of a
“Central Statistical Pool”. The scheme of Prof. Mahalnobis was circulated to
all the ministries on the 15th of May, 1956.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Since two different schemes were
expressed, the matter was referred to the Economic Committee of Secretaries,
before a paper was submitted to the cabinet for its orders. The Economic
Committee of Secretaries accordingly discussed the matter on the 4th December
1956 and examined as to which of the two schemes was more suitable to the needs
of Government. It was pointed out that in certain Ministries like Railways,
Food, Agriculture and Labour it was not merely statistics that was wanted but
also economic advice. Advice on price fixation and controls, exports and imports
of specified agricultural commodities and investigations of an economic
character could not be had from men trained only in statistics. Nor was it
considered practicable for these ministries to seek ad hoc economic advice from
outside economists in respect of these matters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Orders of the Cabinet were solicited
on whether a combined Economic and Statistical Service should be constituted as
recommended by Krishnamachari Committee or whether two separate services should
be formed as recommended by Economics Committee of Secretaries. The Cabinet in
its meeting held on 12th Feb 1958 decided that two separate services should be
formed; a Statistical Service and other an Economic Service. It was further
decided that the control of the two services should vest in the Ministry of
Home Affairs. On 23rd August 1958, a Committee chaired by Cabinet Secretary,
decided on the draft rules regarding the Statistical/Economic services. The
rules for the two services were to be published separately and an independent
board was to be set up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Indian Economic Service was
constituted on 1st November 1961 and the Service Rules were notified on the
same date. The actual operationalization of service took place in 1964 by
induction of a number of officers who were then holding posts which were
identified as posts carrying work relating to economic analysis. Direct
recruitment to the service through all India competitive examination conducted
by UPSC started in 1967. The first batch of direct recruit officers joined in
the year 1968.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Indian Economic Service is an
inter-ministerial service. The Indian Economic Service has also spread out to a
number of departments in the last fifty years. The number of ministries /
departments have increased from 10 in 1979 to 55 in 2011.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Indian Economic Service Officers
have contributed significantly in these years not only in cadre posts but also
in State Governments and regulatory institutions. Officers have served in the
states of Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Goa, Karnataka, Nagaland, Andhra Pradesh,
Meghalaya, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. Officers have also served in
organizations like Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, Competition
Commission of India, Central Electricity Authority, Insurance Regulatory and
Development Authority, Finance Commission etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Indian Economic Service (IES) is an organized Group
‘A’ Central Service.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The IES was constituted in 1961 with the objective of
institutionalising a core professional capacity within the Government to
undertake economic analysis and render advice for designing and
formulating development policies, strengthening delivery systems, and
monitoring and evaluating the public programmes. With the initiation of
large-scale economic reforms in 1991 and the proliferation of the
regulatory role of the government, such analysis and advice within the
domain of the service has increased manifold.<a name='more'></a><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Cadre Controlling of the IES is located in the
Ministry of Finance (Department of Economic Affairs). The Cadre
Controlling Authority is advised, on policy matters pertaining to the
service, by the high-level IES Board, which is headed by the Cabinet
Secretary. The management of the service is on the basis of the service
rules called the IES Rules, first notified in 1961. The service rules,
besides constitution of the service, specifies the various grades and
sanctioned strength therein, future maintenance of the service,
appointment, probation, seniority and conditions of service. The service
rules of 1961 have since been superseded by the comprehensively revised
IES Rules 2008, which were notified on 6.6.2008. These Service Rules are
amended from time to time in accordance with the instructions of the
Government. Latest Amendment to the Rules has been notified on 18th
February, 2011 following the Cabinet approval to the revised cadre
structure of the service.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Cadre strength of IES is periodically reviewed by
the IES Board, with the final Cadre structure of the service approved by
the Cabinet. Reviews of the IES Cadre were earlier undertaken in 1991,
2000 and 2005. The latest review of the service was conducted in 2010,
with the Cabinet approving the revised Cadre structure on 6.1.2011.
Pursuant to this, the sanctioned strength of the IES Cadre is 511,
consisting of 471 duty posts and 40 leave reserves.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A distinguishing feature of the service is that its
Cadre posts are spread across different Ministries/ Departments of the
Central Government, numbering around 55.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The service is, therefore, an inter-Ministerial and
inter-Departmental service. The posts are primarily located in Ministries/
Departments dealing with economic and social sectors. Even within
organizations that account for a large proportion of its Cadre posts, like
the Planning Commission, IES officers posted therein serve in a diverse
range of subject areas, such as finance, social sector, rural development,
education, health, agriculture, industry, trade, transport, and
information technology. IES officers are, thus, exposed to development
issues in diverse sectors and contribute to policy-making in the Central
Government over the entire span of their service career. With the economic
reforms having transformed the nature and domain of economic policy-making
in the country, the IES, as a service, provides a pool of in-house
economic expertise that is well placed to meet the growing demand for
analytical economic inputs for policy-making in the government.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Besides manning Cadre posts, IES officers go on deputation
to serve in various domestic and international organizations such as UN
bodies, foreign governments, state governments and regulatory bodies.
Officers from the service are also appointed on deputation to posts in the
Central Ministries/ Departments under the Central Staffing Scheme.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">At the entry grade of IES i.e. Junior Time Scale
(Grade-IV), 60 per cent of the posts are filled through direct recruitment
and the remaining 40 per cent by promotion of feeder post holders. Direct
recruitment is on the basis of an All-India open competitive examination
called the IES Examination, conducted by the Union Public Service
Commission. Direct recruitment in the IES commenced in 1968, derived from
the first-ever IES Examination that was conducted in 1967. The 40% departmental
promotion quota at the entry-level is filled by promotion of Economic
officers or officers holding equivalent posts recognized for this purpose
as feeder grade by the Cadre Controlling Authority.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Direct recruits joining the service, after being offered
appointment, undergo a comprehensive probationary training comprising the
Foundation course (conducted for the All India Services and the Central
Civil Services), training on Economics at the Institute of Economic
Growth, Delhi, and training/ attachment at various national level
Institutes of repute across the country. Capacity building of serving
officers is carried out on an ongoing basis by conducting various
in-service training programmes suited to the officers’ needs, from the
point of view of building up professional capacity at work as well as
developing soft skills. The flagship in-service training programme is the
mid-career training of six-week duration comprising domestic learning and
foreign learning components, conducted at a reputed management Institute
in the country. Officers of the service are required to participate in
three such mid-career training courses at different phases in their
career.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
