A-Level Economics explains how individuals, businesses and governments decide how to use limited resources. You’ll explore everyday issues such as prices, jobs, inflation, inequality and trade, and learn to analyse them with economic models and real data.
It’s an analytical, current-affairs-driven subject that blends mathematics, argument and real-world evidence.
There isn’t a separate Economics bridging project, but the Sixth Form team will share our expectations and dress code, plus the projects for the subjects you’re taking alongside it.
Supply, demand, prices and how markets allocate resources.
Externalities, public goods and when governments step in.
Costs, competition, monopoly power and how firms make decisions.
Growth, unemployment, inflation and what drives them.
Fiscal and monetary policy and their trade-offs.
Trade, exchange rates and development in a connected world.
