    The answer to Question 1 says that the automotive industry makes up 10% of the Global Economy. I've had a quick look on google to with a view to getting a breakdown for the other 90%, but couldn't find the pie chart I was looking for.

    Anyone got any good one-stop-shops for this kind of data? (I'm pretty sure it's not in the Core Reading / Course Notes.)

    economic breakdown

    Hi,
    I have no idea where you would get this type of information I am afraid. I very much doubt there was a mark for this sentence in the marking schedule though as it is very specific and very difficult for anyone to know. I tend to suggest that themost useful information on economics can be obtained from the back of the economist. Thingslike budget deficits a % of GDP, outstanding debt as % of GDP, growth, interest rates ...
    These tend to be th types of information that have the best chance of gaining marks, especially in the current environment where interest rates and debt are big topics.
