Information for New Undergradnates
Students entering University for the first time may experience some
difficulty in adapting to the study techniques required fo~ .succ~ss. It
is therefore important for the students to become familiar With the
rrlethods of'organisation used within the University, degree courses
available and the University Counselling Service which offers assistance with study and personal problems. The following reference
books will be useful : 1. University Calendar: This contains all the formal information
about the By-Laws and Regulations governing courses and general organisation;
2. Faculty Handbooks: These are issued by each Faculty and provide information about the degree and special requirements;
3. General Supplement to the Faculty Handbooks which contains
details of administrative requirements and amenities and services.
Students should note that it is possible to include some major stre~ms
of study in more ·than one degree course, e.g. Commerce, Eco~Olmcs,
Mathematics, Psychology. It is therefore ~po~tant that care. 18 t~en
to ensure a degree course is selected which will allow the m.c1uslon
of the full range of studies they wish to undertake.
In 1978 the Faculty of Economics 'and Commerce, will offer
Bachelor' of Commerce and Bachelor of Economics degree courses.
Both degree courses offer a student the opportunity to select s:ubjects
from various disciplines offered within the F~cultr of Ec~nomlcs a~d
Commerce and in other faculties of the Umverslty proVided certam
constraints and prerequisite conditions stipulated in the degree requirements are complied with. Advice regarding the structure of
both degrees will be given to all incoming students before enrolment
at leotures given on enrolment days.
Many students do not finally decide their chosen field of interest
until after the first year of study. However,the ~tial .seleotion ,?f
subjects should be made in light of the probable dlrectl~n of thc::rr
later interests and studies, e.g. students who have an mtere~t m
accounting or industrial relations should include Legal Studies I
early in their programme.
Students should study carefully the req~iremeJ?'ts. fO.r the de&rees
particularly with regard to compulsory subjects, linlltation of subjects
chosen from each group and prerequisite requirements inclu~ing the
advisory prerequisites set out in the section Advice to Enrollmg Students. It will be necessary for students who have not c,?mple~ed
advisory prerequisites or equivalent study to undertake IntensIve
preliminary reading.
Limits are also set on the number of subjects students are permitted
to take in anyone year. These limits restrict a full-time student to
6
a maximum of four subjeots and part-time students to a maximum
of two subjects in anyone year of study. (Refer conditions set out
in Schedule A of the Degree Requirements).
Students requiring specific advice on the selection or content of subjects in the course should seek help from members of the Faculty.
For personal counselling and study skills training it is suggested that
students consult the University Counselling Service (see relevant
section in General Supplement).
.
Enquiries regarding enrolment, variation to programme and general
administrative problems should be directed to the Faculty Secretary,
Mr F. C. Hawkins, Administration Building. Room G72.
Professional ReeogDitioD
The Australian Society of Accountants will exempt from the qualifying exantination of the Society graduates of the University of Newcastle who hold the Bachelor of Commerce degree and who have
included certain specified subjects in their degree programme. The
Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and the Institute of
Chartered Secretaries and Administrators also grant exemption from
certain examinations for passes in particular subjects in the degree
course or in the Diploma in Business Studies.
Registration as a registered public accountant under the Public Ac-countants Registration Act, 1945 (N.S.W.) is also available to
graduates who have included specified subjects in their Bachelor of
Commerce degree programme.
A pass in the subject of Taxation is accepted as a prerequisite for
registration as a tax agent by the Tax Agents' Board (N.S.W.).
Examination requirements for advancement to Senior Associate
status in the Australian Society of Accountants may be satisfied by
including certain subjects in the Diploma in Business Studies, the
Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) degree or the Master of
Commerce.
Particulars of these various exemptions are set out on notice boards
in the Department of Commerce.
Further enquiries and eventual applications for exemption should
be directed to the professional associations concerned.
Actrisory Prerequisite for Entry to the Faeulty
In addition to satisfying the matriculation requirements of the University, candidates applying for entry to the Faculty of Economics
and Commerce are advised that a pass in 2 unit Mathematics at the
New South Wales Higher School Certificate Examination or an
examination at an equivalent standard in Mathematics is advisable.
7
Candidates should note that there is no other advisory prerequisite
for entry to the Faculty of E~nomics and Commerce. It ~ not
necessary for candid~tesapplym~ for entry to h.ave prevlously
studied either Economlcs, Accounting or Legal Studles.
Student Participation in University Affain
Provision is made for students to be elected' as representatives to
departmental meetings in the Departments of Economics, Commerce, and Legal Studies, to the Faculty Boar.<i. ~aculty. of
Economics and Commerce as well as to other umverslty bodies.
Elections of representatives usually take place early in the first term
and students should watch Department notice boards for details of
Student Representative Elections.
Student Academic Progress
All students are reminded of the need to maintain satisfactory progress and, in particular, attention is drawn to By-l~ws, 5.~.1. an~
5.4.2. (refer to the General Supplement supphed .With this
Handbook). The following points on Faculty Board pollcy should
also be borne in mind.
1. The Faculty Board in terms of By-law 5.4.1.2 requires that
students shall pass at least one subject in their fi!St year of fulltime attendance or in their first two years of part-time attendance.
Students who fail to meet this requirement shall be referred to
the Admissions Committee with a recommendation that they be
excluded from the Faculty or from the University.
2. For the purposes of By-law 5.4.2.2. the Faculty Board has
determined that at least four subjects be passed at the en~ of the
£irst two years of full-time attendance or at least four subjects be
passed at the end of the first four years of part-time attendance.
3. Faculty Board has further decided in terms of By-law 5.4.1.2.
that if in any year following the completion of two years fulltime attendance or four years part-time attendance, a student's
academic record since enrolment, includes more failures than
passes then the progress of that stuQent shall be reviewed by the
FacultY Board which may determine that such a student shall:
(a) be permitted to re-enrol only in such subject or subjects as
the Faculty Board shall specify
OR
(b) be referred to the Admissions Committee with a recommendation for exclusion from the Faculty or from the University.
.
For the purposes of this section a failure in a repeated subject
shall count as a second failure.
Any student who has been recommended to the Admissions Committee for exclusion will have an opportunity to present a case why
he should not be excluded.
8
Student Problems
Members of the Faculty are willing to offer advice and assistance to
students who have academic problems. Where a problem clearly
lies within the area of responsibility of some particular member of
the teaching staff, it is preferable that the matter be discussed initially
with that member.
A student may also find it helpful to discuss his problem with a
student member of Faculty Board, particularly if the student is
reluctant to make a personal approach to a member of staff or is
uncertain of the proper procedures to be followed.
Assessment of Examination Resnlls
In normal circumstances no contact may be made by or on behalf
of a student with a member of the academic staff on the subject of
a student's examination script(s) between the date of the examination in question and the official publication of results.
Review of Examination Resnlls
Examination results may be reviewed for a charge of $8.00 per
subject, which is refundable in the event of an error being discovered.
Applications for review must be submitted on the, appropriate form
together with the prescribed review charge by the date notified in the
publication of results.
Institute of Industrial Economics
The Institute of Industrial Economics was established in April, 1976
and is the first research institute within the University.
It conducts research into the economic problems of Australian manufacturing industry, the distributing and service ·trades and the mineral
industry. The Institute also acts as a centre for postgraduate training and research in the field of industrial economics, where it collaborates closely with the Department of Economics. Seminars and
conferences are arranged from time to time and publications issued
which report the results of the Institute's research programme.
The University staff members who work for the Institute are mainly
drawn from the Departments of Economics, Commerce, and Legal
Studies. However, staff members from other department& of the
University can be callep. upon to assist in particular projects.
Many of the staff working for the Institute have previously acted as
advisors or consultants of industry, commerce and government. The
Institute also employs full~time research fellows and research assistants to meet the requirements of its research and consulting activities.
The Board which administers the Institute consists of members from
industry, commerce and the University. The Chairman of the Board
is Sir Bede Callaghan, CBE, HonDSc, FBIA, F AIM. The Acting
Director of the Institute is Professor C. A. Tisdell of the Department
of Economics.

Postgraduate Courses
Postgraduate studies may be undertaken within the departments of
Commerce, Economics and Legal Studies leading to the Diploma in
Business Studies or the Diploma in Economic Studies, and to M.B.A.,
M.Com. and Ph.D. degrees.
In the Department of Economics study for the Master of Commerce
degree may be either by research and thesis or by coursework. The
degree by coursework should appeal to those candidates whose special
interest lies in the area of industrial economics. Postgraduate candidates
with other interests will be able to choose courses designed to cater for
their particular requirements. Candidates for the coursework degree
programme are advised to write to the Head of the Department of
Economics for further information. Further details are also available
in the brochure Graduate Studies in Economics. The Diploma in
Economic Studies has been introduced to cater for those candidates
not wishing to pursue a Master of Commerce degree course. Subjects
which may be included in the Diploma are specified in the appendix
to the requirements. The Department of Economics also accepts
candidates for the Master of Arts degrees.
In the Department of Commerce the degree of Master of Commerce
may be taken either by research and thesis or by coursework in
accounting. Candidates for the coursework degree programme are
advised to write to the Head of Department of Commerce for further
information. Further details are also av'ailable in the brochure Graduate
Studies in Accounting. The Diploma in Business Studies, if including
passes in certain specific subjects, satisfies the examination requirements
for advancement to Senior Associate Status in the Australian Society
of Accountants. The Master of Commerce degree if taken in the
Department of Commerce similarly satisfies these examination
requirements. Subjects which may be included in the Diploma in
Business Studies are specified in the appendix to the requirements.
The Faculty will introduce a Master of Business Administration degree
course in 1978. Full details of the course are available in the handbook
for that degree. Candidates for registration are required to present test
scores from the Graduate Management Admission Test.
A number of postgraduate scholarships are available to candidates who
have obtained a good honours degree to enable them to undertake
full-time research, and prospective candidates currently enrolled in
31
the University of Newcastle are asked to consult the Head of
Department not later than the third term of the final (Honours) year.
Full details of recurrent scholarships are posted from time to time on
departmental notice boards. Conditions of award of higher degrees
and diplomas are given in the following pages.

the course principally concentrates on microeconomics but in a way
which integrates it with other areas of economics.
FollowPlg the introductory review, the course concentrates on the
theory of individual and market demand. There is also some discussion of macroeconomic concepts of demand. Concepts of supply
and of market equilibrium are introduced, and the macroeconomic
Keynesian analogue to Marshallian market eqUilibrium is discussed.
After an analysis of the production function and costs of production,
the course examines various types of market competition and their
economic implications. Perfect competition, monopoly, oligopoly
and other types of imperfect competition are considered. Attention
is paid to. the results of both theoretical and empirical studies. A
section then follows analysing the pricing and employment of productive services and some macroeconomic extensions of distribution
theory are considered. A concluding section of the course deals
with various aspects of economic welfare.
Throughout the course special attention will be given to the institutional context in which economic decisions are made.

The course is directed towards explaining why Japan was able to
industrialise so swiftly 'after 1868 while China and Indonesia (Java),
which had been amongst the riohes.t par,ts of the world in European
medieval times, came to rank amongst the poorest by .the twentieth
century. The comparative economic history of Japan (since 1600),
China (since 1368) and Indonesia (since ca 1400) are compared
with respeot to the evolution of the market economy, the size and
distribution of economic surplus, the growth of cities, dualism
between the modern and traditional sectors, the role of private
entrepreneurship, and government policy.

The elementary macroeconomic concepts introduced in Economics I
are developed into a comprehensive examination of the determinants
of aggregate economic activity. The microeconomic foundation of
macroeconomic analysis is examined and the concept of general
equilibrium is introduced. Conventional static models of economic
activity, including both produot and monetary markets, are examined
from the Keynesian and Monetarist points of view. Dynamic implications are introduced and extended into a preliminary discussion of

the nature and causes of economic fluctuations and growth. Emphasis
is given to the welfare implications of macroeconomic analysis,
particularly in relation to policy goals associated with levels of employment, price stability and economic growth. Reference is made
to externalities associated with macroeconomic policy measures,
particularly as they affect the non-economic welfare of society .
Special attention is given to the institutional context in which macroeconomic decisions are made and the role of the government and
international sectors.
Major aspects of monetary theory, policy and institutions. Topics:
the demand for money; the relationship of the real and monetary
sectors of the economy; the economics of domestic banking; central
banking; techniques of monetary control; supply of money analysis;
banking, financial institutions and monetary policy in Australia and
other selected economies; international aspects of inoney, banking
and finance.

Content
This course considers theories dealing with tfue way in which coll~t
ive decisions about resource use are arrived at. It will study theories
of the government regulation of the economy, the efficiency of
various forms of democracy and other social arrangements for arriving at collective decisions about resource use. The theory of coalition
formation, the role of pressure groups and of bureaucracies in tJhe
allocative process will be discussed and economic theories of voting
will be considered.
Marxist and other views of impact of changing economic systems
on evolution of political systems are also examined. Topics like the
future of democracy in the light of economic developments, the
goveJ.'lllment of firms, the role of firms in government, trade unions
and government and the government of ,trade unions are touched on
in the course.
The course takes account of developments which marry economics
and politics such as theoretical developments due to Downs, Buchanan and Tullock, Lipset, Bierstedt, Bland, Hayek, Schlesinger,
Freidrioh, Spann and Dahrendotf.
Content
The course begins with an analysis of 'pure' or theoretical models of
social economies and the rationale of contemporary operational
systems.
Variants of each paradigm are tJhen studied w1th reference to relevant case study material, including examples of command socialism,
market socialism, democratic socialism and ,significant mixed systems.
Attempts at the rationalisation of operational systems currently in
evolution in the underdeveloped world are then made, followed' by
the consideration of the convergence hypothesis of economic systems.

The purpose of this course is to provide students with an introduction
to industrial relations concepts and tools of analysis in the context
of Australian industrial relations.
The approach taken in the subject is intended to highlight the interdisciplinary nature of the study of industrial relations.
The course opens with an introductory segment. It then turns to
consider a number of main themes within each of which a variety of
specific issues and problems are examined.
The main themes considered are: man in industrial society; trade
unionism and the labour movement; employers' associations; the
processes of job regulations; conflict in industry.

The second half of the course will study underdeveloped countries with
specific focus upon their dualistic nature. The structure of the ruraJ
and urban economies of the typical underdeveloped country will be
investigated in order to understand underdevelopment and hence
design development strategies. Theoretical models will be supplemented with case studies from Asia throughout this half of the
course.

The course commences willi a discussion of the nature of underdevelopment and the development problem. The problems of
defining and measuring development are deaH with. Attention is
then focused on development and underdevelopment in an historical
perspective. Subsequently, the dualistic socio-economic structure of
the typical underdeveloped country is investigated. Some theoretical
models of development in a dual economy are then advanced. We
then try and understand why development in <Ilhe less developed
countries has not proceeded along the line indicated by these theoretical models.
An alternative four sector theoretical model is introduced which is
claimed to accord more with the realities of under-development. The
obstacles to development highlighted by this model lead into the

The aims of this course are two-fold: the conceptual examination
of the logic, properties and limits of macroeconomic planning
systems; and the critical analysis of selected (operational) case
studies.
The first part of the course will deal primarily with planning models
both in command systems and in mixed economies, and with technical aspects of the implementation of planning, e.g., input-output
systems, linear programming and shadow prices. In the second part
of the course emphasis will be placed on planning applications.
Institutional aspects and problems of statistical estimation are
de-emphasised as much from necessity as for convenience. The
course will be as free from ideological bias as possible.

The significance of contemporary economic analysis cannot be appreciated fully without an awareness of the thought of earlier economists.
Such awareness provides perspective for judgment of the strengths
and weaknesses of the analytical tools and techniques fashionable in
currently orthodox economics.
A perspective based on consideration of economic thought in the
decades immediately preceding "the Keynesian revolution", the popularisation of econometrics and other notable developments. The
period dealt with ranges from 1890 to the mid 1930s. British
economic thought from Alfred Marshall to John Maynard Keynes
and American economic thought from John Bates Clark to Wesley
C. Mitchell and leading Continental contributions are considered.

sections in the course. The first - about
10 percent of Ithe course content - deals with the special characteristics of ,the demand for and supply of agricultural produots and
the problems which arise from these characteristics. Comparisons
will be made with the demand ,and supply situation for produots
produced in the industrial sector.
The second component (about 40 percent) discusses some of the
measures that have been adopted to support and stabilise agricultural
incomes. Mention will be given to the resource allocative effects
of ,these measures and ,to examples of the empirical assessment of
the effects of the measurestJhat have been adopted.
The final section of .the course (lab out 50 percent) will concentrate
specifically on agr-ictiltural policy in Australia. As well as discussing
policies in .operation for specific commodities, the course will examine
the general question .of the ,tariff compensation argument as a basis
for protection to agricuIture.

This course commences with a study of the means which have been
availed of by the courts to protect consumers and in particular of the
early device of implying terms into contracts for the sale of goods and
of the treatment of "exclusion clauses." The course proceeds to a study
of the protections afforded consumers by the sale of goods and hire
purchase legislation, e.g. the implied terms as to fitness for purpose and
merchantable quality. False or misleading advertising is studied in the
context of the common law, s.32 of the Consumer Protection Act 1969
(NSW) and ss. 52 and 53 of the Trade Practices Act 1974. Legislation
dealing with specific mischiefs in the consumer area and product safety
standards and product information standards are examined. The course
concludes with a study of certain institutional structures of importance
to consumers including State consumer affairs bodies, the Trade
Practices Commission and small claims tribunals.

Preliminary Notes
The Department offers and examines subjects. Each subject is composed
of topics, each single-unit topic consisting of about 27 lectures and 13
tutorials throughout the yeac Each of the Part I, Part II, and Part lIlt
subjects consists of the equivalent of four single unit topics. For
Mathematics I, there is no choice of topics; for Mathematics DA, lIB,
nc there is some choice available to students; for Mathematics llIA
and IIIB there is a wider choice. No topic may be counted twice in
making up distinct subjects.
(Students who passed some mathematics subjects before this arrangement of subjects was introduced should consult the "transition
arrangements" set out on p.155 of the 1970 Faculty of Arts handbook,
and p.76 of the 1973 F,aculty of Mathematics handbook. Note that the.
"code letters" for the topics may vary slightly from year to year.)
Progressive Assessment
From time to time during the year students will be given assignments,
tests, etc. The student's performance in this work will be taken into
account in the following manner.
(a) For the implementation of By-law 5.4.1-1, which deals with
unsatisfactory progress. A copy of this By-law appears in the
General Supplement to the Faculty Handbooks.
(b) Where a student's performance during the year has been better
than his performance in the final examination, then the former
will be taken into account in determining his final result. On the
other hand, when a student's performance during the year has
been worse than his performance in the final examination, then
his performance during the year will be ignored in determining
his final result.
