Economics

Economics Course Overview

Leaving Certificate Economics helps students understand the forces that shape everyday choices, society and the wider economy. Curriculum Online explains that the subject aims to stimulate curiosity about the economic environment and develop the skills, knowledge and values needed to make informed decisions at local, national and global level. Economics is assessed at Higher and Ordinary Level through a research study and an examination paper, so students must combine theory with applied analysis. Zr Academy lessons focus on clear diagrams, accurate definitions, data interpretation and concise written explanations. Students study markets, government intervention, national income, inflation, employment, money, international trade and economic policy. We also support the research study by helping students frame a question, use evidence and connect findings to economic concepts.
