Break-Even Analysis, Trend Analysis and ratio analysis etc are quantitative analysis...
SWOT analysis is qualitative analysis.

[QUOTE=Bakistani;778735]Break-Even Analysis, Trend Analysis and ratio analysis etc are quantitative analysis...

SWOT analysis is qualitative analysis.[/QUOTE]


I think this is too much analysis 😟 and included in finance section.
But this section is included with economics. May it also include some eco related numeric questions.

Dear fellow member,

Quantitative analysis includes [B]Statistical[/B] techniques such as [B]Mean, Median, Mode, Standard Deviation & Coefficient of Variation[/B]. I had this course, named Quantitative Analysis, back then in my [B]BBA[/B] program. It also included other concepts such as [B]Probability[/B] as well as [B]Combination & Permutations.[/B]

Hope this will help.

Regards

[QUOTE=Umme Abiha;779170]kesi book hai ilmi ki ? i think dogars walon ki book ka wait krna chahye .[/QUOTE]

i think its good book

[QUOTE=Suhail Talpur;779177]i think its good book[/QUOTE]
does it cover complete syllabus ?

I think only mcq's books by Ilmi or dogar's are not enough for prepartion. One should read different topics from different related books.

Senior with previous experience of same test kindly share questions.

yes

Dogar Book
 

Dogar Publishers may not publish the book as one of book seller told me "they publish the book when minimum seats are 100 for a post."

Economic Theories
 

I initially posted it to another thread and then noticed that this thread is visited more frequently. Now I began searching for the other thread where I had posted, but got quite mad searching it, as I could not find it. Now saw it was under ''Other competitive exams''. Can an admin please merge these two threads. It is very difficult to switch between the 2 searching for information.





I am not much sure but generally there are 2 types of economic theories:

Microeconomics:
1-Market Structures (Monopoly, Competition, Supply, Demand, Price, Equilibrium Analysis)
2-Production Theories (Fixed Cost, Opportunity Cost, Variable Cost, Mass scale economy, Production Possibility Frontier, Scarcity, Comparative Advantage, Small scale vs large scale production, Absolute advantage, Capital cost)
3- Game theory (uncertainty, imperfect information, Information asymmetry, moral hazard, laws of contract, principle agent theory)- Pretty advanced this topic is, might not come
4- Market failure, government failure, externalities..

Macroeconomics
1- Growth, GDP, GNI, National Income, Savings main concepts
2- Business cycle: Circular flow of income, Aggregate supply, Aggregate demand and Unemployment
3-Inflation and Monetary Policy
4- Fiscal Policy
5- Public finance, welfare choices etc.


Note: These are more or less what we studied in our Economics classes in BBA Honors and then I did a course in development economics as well. I extracted this index from Wikipedia, but it appears quite comprehensive. Do not know to which depth does NTS want to go in their test.

Functions of National Savings Organization
 

Friends, lets start preparing topic by topic.

basic arithmetic means %age, average, decimal, fractions, word and work and tank problems. as for as public finance is concerned better to go for the book of public finance which is recommended in m.a final economics in universities.
