A Level Economics QAN code 6014371X/4410 All of us have a basic understanding of the concepts that make up Economics. If there is a shortage of something people want, prices go up, and vice versa; our lives are shaped by supply and demand. Economics is about the issues that confront us all and tries to deal with the problem that there is never enough to go around. It will help you understand the world as we know it and you will gain a much better grasp of issues in the news. You will realise that the government plays a big part in influencing the provision of services, such as health, education or defence and will examine the decisions it makes on our behalf. You will also look at the impact of other decisions, such as Brexit, and make recommendations on the approach the government should take. Economics links well with a wide range of subjects including Mathematics, Geography, Business and Computing. No prior economics study is necessary. Unit 1: Markets and market failure This is the study of individuals, households and firms' behaviour in decision making and allocation of resources. It deals with individual and economic issues. Topics include the functions of the labour market, the distribution of income/wealth, individual behavioural economics and a study of the models that explain the operations of markets. Unit 2: The National and International Economy This is the branch of economics that studies the behaviour and performance of an economy. It focuses on changes in the economy such as unemployment, growth rate, gross domestic product and inflation. It looks at the value of economic policies pursued by governments and at the international dimension and the effects that other countries and exchange rates have on the UK. Unit 3: Economic principles and issues The third paper is synoptic addressing all the content covered within the course. Economics A Level is highly regarded by universities and employers. It can lead to a wide range of degrees and well-paid careers within banking, finance, accountancy, law, econometrics and insurance. Staff member contact - Mr Longbottom
