How to analyse this topic

Economic examples become useful when they show both output and distribution. Explain the incentive or trade-off, then ask whether the gains are broad, durable, and fairly shared.

• Efficiency: ask whether the policy changes incentives or reduces waste.
• Distribution: compare national gains with effects on workers and households.
• Resilience: test short-term growth against long-term exposure and dependence.
• Feasibility: identify enforcement costs, market responses, and unintended effects.
