What we cover
The Economics Syllabus, Broken Down
Four units, nine key concepts, and real-world evaluation throughout. Here's how Economics is built, and where marks are won and lost.
The current Economics guide has been examined since May 2022. Built around nine key concepts and real-world issues, it spans four units (introduction, microeconomics, macroeconomics and the global economy) and asks students to evaluate, not just describe. SL and HL routes differ in depth, with HL adding a quantitative policy paper.
