A good economics essay requires a clear argument that is well-supported by appropriately referenced evidence. Research your topic thoroughly and then carefully plan out your essay. A good structure is essential, as is sticking closely to the main essay question. Be sure to proofread your essay and try to write in formal and precise prose.

Preparing to Write Your Essay

Step 1 Read the question carefully.

  • For example a question such as “Discuss the macroeconomic consequences of rising house prices, alongside falling interest rates” could be divided into 2 parts: 1 part could be on the effects of rising prices, and 1 on the effects of falling interest rates.
  • In this example you could begin by discussing each separately and then bringing the 2 together and analysing how they influence each other.
  • Be sure to keep the question at the forefront of your mind and don’t veer off topic. [1] X Research source

Step 2 Research the topic thoroughly

  • Be sure that you understand all the key terms that you are being asked about.
  • Try to keep your reading focussed closely to the essay question.
  • Don’t forget to look at any lecture or class notes you have made.
  • 3 Come up with a thesis statement . A thesis statement is the main argument you will make in your essay. It should be 1-2 sentences long and respond to the essential question that’s being asked. The thesis will help you structure the body of your essay, and each point you make should relate back to the thesis.

Step 4 Plan out your content.

  • Once you have put together a list of key points, then try to add in some more detail that brings in elements from your research.
  • When you come to write out your essay, you can develop a paragraph based on each point.

Step 5 Think about your...

  • All of the evidence and explanation will be in the main body of the essay.
  • Order the key points in the body of your essay in such a way that they flow logically.
  • If you are writing a longer essay, you can break the main body into different sections. [2] X Research source
  • If you have a word limit, be sure to take this into account when you are planning.
  • Allocate yourself a rough number of words per section.
  • The introduction and conclusion can be just a paragraph each.

Writing the Essay

Step 1 Write the introduction...

  • What your essay is about.
  • What material you will cover in the essay.
  • What your argument is. [3] X Research source

Step 2 Outline your argument.

  • Having this stated clearly at the start can help you to stay focussed on the question as you work your way through the essay.
  • Try writing out this one or two sentence statement and sticking it up in front of you as you write, so it’s stays at the forefront of your mind.

Step 3 Write the body of the essay.

  • Try to begin each paragraph with a sentence that outlines what the paragraph will cover.
  • Look at the opening sentence of each paragraph and ask yourself if it is addressing the essay question. [5] X Research source

Step 4 Provide evidence for your argument.

  • Try to engage with arguments that run counter to yours, and use the evidence you have found to show the flaws.
  • It might help to imagine someone reading the essay, and anticipating the objections that he might raise.
  • Showing that you have thought about potential problems, and you can make an argument that overcomes them, is a hallmark of an excellent essay. [6] X Research source
  • If there is conflicting evidence, discuss it openly and try to show where the weight of the evidence lies. [7] X Research source
  • Don’t just ignore the evidence that runs counter to your argument.

Step 5 Write the conclusion...

  • In the conclusion you can add a few sentences that show how your essay could be developed and taken further.
  • Here you can assert why the question is important and make some tentative suggestions for further analysis.

Proofreading and Making Revisions

Step 1 Check for divergences away from the question.

  • As you read through it, think about how closely you stick to main overarching question.
  • If you notice paragraphs that drift off into other areas, you need to be tough and cut them out.
  • You have a limited number of words so it’s essential to make every one count by keeping tightly focussed on the main question.

Step 2 Assess the quality and depth of your argument.

  • Think about how you use the evidence too. Do you critically engage with it, or do you merely quote it to support your point?
  • A good analytical essay such discuss evidence critically at all times.
  • Even if the evidence supports your argument, you need to show that you have thought about the value of this particular piece of data.
  • Try to avoid making any assumptions, or writing as if something were beyond dispute. [10] X Research source

Step 3 Check spelling, grammar and style.

  • Remember an academic essay should be written in a formal style, so avoid colloquialisms.
  • Avoid contractions, such as “don’t”, or “won’t”.
  • Try to avoid paragraphs that are more than ten or fifteen lines long.
  • Think about how it looks on the page. [12] X Research source

Step 4 Check your referencing and bibliography.

  • Always include a bibliography, but don’t include references to things you haven’t read or didn’t inform your argument. [13] X Research source
  • Your teacher will know if you just add a load of titles into your bibliography that are not evidenced in the body of your essay.
  • Always follow the bibliography format used by your department or class.

  • Writing the Economics Essay

An academic rhetoric (or organisation) is important to convince a reader that you understand the topic well – poor organisation can signal muddled thinking.

Thesis – Justification – Support

This is the rhetoric used by Bray et al.

Thesis – the main concept or idea that you are proposing

Justification – the reasons why your thesis is valid

Support – evidence that backs up your justification

Essay structure – your introduction, main body, and conclusion

Box: An example

The Thesis – Justification – Support rhetoric can be applied to an individual paragraph of an essay, or on an entire essay. For example, take the essay question:

‘The accumulation of capital is sufficient for ensuring sustainable growth in per capita living standards’. Discuss.

One possible answer would be:

Thesis: if we define capital as physical capital, the accumulation of capital will lead to diminishing returns

Justification: Demonstration of the Solow model : capital accumulation can result in higher levels of income but after a certain level not higher levels of consumption per capita (due to diminishing marginal returns).

Support: examples, such as India’s heavy investment drive in the 1950s, 1960s which was associated with low levels of ‘Hindu growth’; or econometric evidence, such as that from Mankiw, Romer and Weil (1992), which supports some of the conclusions of the Solow model (but also suggests improvements, see below).

The next section of the essay would play with the assumptions of the Solow model – for example by expanding our definition of capital to include human capital (and, if you’re really trying to impress, social capital and ‘natural’ capital as well).

You might also want to discuss if technological progress (the source of per capita income growth in the Solow model) is related to capital accumulation, for example through ‘ learning by doing ‘ (Arrow, 1962)

Economics Essay Writing

Many students ask “How to write an economics essay?” This Guide to Writing a Good Economics Essay is applicable to both IB economics as well as the Singapore JC A-Level H2 economics examinations. Many of the pointers here are also applicable to large-mark case study questions.

6 Steps to Writing a Good Economics Essay

Step 1: dissect the question.

Make sure you analyse and fully understand the KEYWORDS and REQUIREMENTS of the question. This is a very important skill that is taught in our economics tuition classes .

For example, “Best”, “Most Effective” are closely related but mean different things.

Paraphrase the question to make it simpler if necessary.

Take note of the command word (eg: Explain, Discuss) as it determines the approach needed for the essay, for example, whether two sides are needed or one side is sufficient. Below are some common examples found in economics essay questions:

Command Words                                      Action Required

Account for                                                 Explain why

Analyse                                                        Break it down into step-by-step explanations

Assess                                                          For & Against. Consider other factors.

Compare                                                      Identify Similarities & Differences

Distinguish                                                   Point out differences

Discuss                                                        Explore both sides

Evaluate                                                       The Good and The Bad.

Explain                                                          Show why and how

Explain whether                                            Cover both possibilities

Examine                                                        Look closely. How so and how not so?

To What Extent                                              Yes…..But….Judgment

Remember to look out for the context in the question. This is usually given in the form of a country (eg: Singapore). The examples in your essay must be tailored to this particular context (for example, do not suggest interest rate policy for Singapore as that is considered infeasible in the Singapore context). If no context is given, any real-world example can be used.

Keep in mind the question throughout the essay and remember to always answer the question. Don’t go off-point!

Common Examiner’s Comment :  Not Answering Question (NAQ))

Step 2: Plan Your Answer

Take some time to consider what economic framework you will use to approach the question. Scribble down your main thesis and anti-thesis points. Ensure they ANSWER THE QUESTION.

Step 3: Essay Introduction

In the introduction, include definitions of keywords in the question and spell out the economic framework you will employ for your answer as well as key definitions.

Step 4: Body of Essay

In the body , there will be several paragraphs. 

The number of points/paragraphs depends on the question. It is common to require 2 main points for each 10 mark essay and similarly for 15 mark essay questions. Under each main point, there may be 1-2 sub-points.

Use one paragraph for each sub-point you are making.

However, do not be too focussed on the number of points or paragraphs. The key is to answer the question.

For each body paragraph , use TET’s PEEL(ED) structure. Include only one main idea per paragraph.

  • Point – Write your point in the first sentence so that markers will know what the paragraph will be about. The topic sentence must directly answer the question!
  • Explanation – Explain what you mean
  • Elaboration – Provide further analysis with clear step-by-step economic reasoning. This part may be done with examples as well as diagrams.
  • Link – Link your explanations back to the Point and to answer the question.
  • Exemplification – Give an example to support your reasoning. It can be statistics or real-world examples (for Case Studies, evidences from the Case must be uncovered!)
  • Diagram – Where possible, araw an appropriate diagram with correct labelling and refer to it in your answer. This is crucial to show economic reasoning. Diagrams are very important for economics essays!

These are of course much easier said than done! Thus, students in our economics tuition classes are regularly honed to achieve such output including with tips and tricks to spark off the correct thinking process.

Our resources including the Study Guides for A Level and IB economics also provide a very powerful and handy reference on the depth of analysis required to score the highest marks.

Common Examiner’s Comment :  Mere statements and claims. No economic rigour.

Step 5: In-Body Evaluation

This applies especially to the 15 mark essays for A-Level Economics. A total of 5 marks is catered for Evaluation. Students should attempt to achieve about 2-3 in-body evaluation marks by pointing out how the thesis and anti-thesis points may not be true due to certain assumptions made that may not hold. Students may write “However,….may not necessarily happen……It would depend on whether….”. This statement can be written after the associated sub-point has been made.

Step 6: CONCLUDING SECTION

This only applies to the 15 mark essay questions.

Earn more evaluation marks by making a reasoned judgement. Deliver your verdict like a Judge! 

Check back on the question before you embark on this. Ensure your judgement answers the question.

So the question now is, how does a judge arrive at and deliver a verdict? Certainly, you should not be summarising or merely paraphrasing your main points in the conclusion. Obviously, you cannot expect more marks by saying the same thing over and over again!

After a verdict and reasons have been provided, consider providing further relevant insights and/or recommendations.

Common Examiner’s Comment :  Repetitive. Mere Summary.

Here are some quite common types of Concluding Sections 

  • Consider the relative importance of thesis and anti-thesis factors. Which factors are most important or pertinent in the given context? For example, certain policies better fit specifc types of economies.
  • Consider short-term vs long-term pros and cons. Do the short-term benefits outweigh the long-term costs? Is the policy more effective in the long-term, and if so, how pressing is the problem that needs to be addressed?
  • Suggest a multi-policy approach, in which each policy has strengths and weaknesses that allow them to complement each other.

There is no way to really memorise evaluation points as every question and context is different. After all, you are being tested on higher-order thinking!

There are other evaluation tips that our students will receive but the key point here is that the training of the mind to think and apply economics is essential. That is where our weekly economics lessons come into play and that is why our students are often asked questions in class and trained to think on their feet. As ex-student Xue Min from YIJC testified, Chief Tutor Mr. Kelvin Hong does not just spoon-feeds our students but mentors them in their thinking to arrive at the answers. This was different from other tutors that her classmates experienced and eventually this was the key to Xue Min’s A grade.

In your essay, write in simple and clear sentences. Everything you write should be value-adding. You do not have to spend time showing off vocabulary as no extra points are awarded for language. Focus on economic reasoning. Use succinct and effective examples which support the point you are trying to make as well as accurate diagrammatic analyses.

How to Write an Economics Paper: A Step-by-Step Guide

economics essay writing tips

Economics is often called “the dismal science,” and most students would agree that it never lives up to that moniker more than when they are writing an economics paper for a college, university, or MBA course. Economics essays can be challenging because they combine scientific accuracy and mathematical reasoning with the interpretive and theoretical approaches of the humanities, making them one of the most difficult types of essays to write. However, economics papers don’t have to create anxiety if you know the right way to approach an economics paper.

In this article, we’ll take a look at the right way to write an economics paper by examining the process from start to finish and offering some tips about the best way to approach each of the steps in writing an economics essay.

So, where should you begin to write an economics paper?

Read the Assignment

This might seem like a no-brainer, but the first step in writing any essay is to read the assignment and make sure that you understand exactly what the question is asking. Be sure that you are clear on each of the requirements of the assignment, and that means that you need to carefully review the question and find each of the pieces that require a response in the essay. Beyond this, you should consider whether any of the requirements are unclear. If there is anything you don’t understand, be sure to seek clarification before you start writing.

Develop a Research Question

Based on the assignment, try to develop one or two guiding questions that will help to direct your research when you start to create the assignment. What do you want to know more about? What would you need to know to address the assignment? Having sharp research questions will help to direct your research and point you in the right direction as you gather resources.

Gather Research Before You Write

Many students take the approach that the fastest way to write a paper is to start writing and grab research to support their points as they move through. However, this is an inefficient way to write. The most effective way to write an essay is to gather your research before you begin the writing process. By researching the question and evaluating resources early on, you will be in a better position to create a strong thesis statement and develop a powerful paper that will help you to address the assignment completely. One effective technique is to read each research source, pull out key quotes you might use in your paper, and produce a reference list entry for each source before you start writing. That way, you can pull from your bank of research without having to stop and research new material as you write.

Develop a Thesis Statement

Based on the research that you’ve done, you should develop a thesis statement explaining your unique perspective on the assignment and what you will demonstrate or prove during the course of the paper. A strong thesis statement is specific and sharp rather than vague and general. Your thesis should be original and not merely repeating something someone else has already done in a prior economics paper.

Outline Your Economics Paper

Many students skip this step because they think that it is a waste of time that they could be spending writing, but outlining can actually be a time-saver in the long run. Using your thesis statement, you should develop an outline that develops each part of the thesis into a paragraph or section of your outline. Each section of your outline should have supporting details, including resources, quotes, and evidence, that you will use to assemble your paper. The more detail that you put together in your outline, the easier it will be to write the final paper.

Write the Paper, Saving the Intro for Last

Your outline should make it easy to develop your paper. All you need to do at this point is to take the outline that you wrote, flesh it out by turning its points into complete sentences, drop in quotations and supporting information (with citations), and connect the dots with transitions. When you write the final paper, you should save the introduction for last. That way, you will be able to use the conclusion that you come to at the end of the paper to craft an introduction that will set up the paper. If you try doing the introduction first, you might feel tempted to tailor your conclusion to keep the introduction intact. This way, if your conclusion changes as you write, you won’t lose time or text.

Get Economics Essay Help If Needed

Writing economics papers can be hard, but these tips should make it easier. However, if you find yourself in need of additional help, it can be helpful to pay someone for writing help. When you hire an expert from an online service like WriteMyPaperHub.com , you can receive the kind of benefits that you can’t get anywhere else, including customized and personalized research and writing assistance from an expert writer with an advanced degree and years of experience producing papers for students just like you. Whether you need writing help because you are pressed for time or don’t know where to start, professional help can be the solution to help you solve your hardest essay challenges and to help you make the grade on your next economics paper.

Understanding the Structure of an Economics Essay

Once you've chosen your economics essay topic, the next crucial step is to master the art of structuring your essay effectively. The structure of your essay plays a pivotal role in conveying your arguments and analysis in a logical and persuasive manner.

For instance, if your essay discusses the economic impact of renewable energy adoption, your introduction might begin with a compelling statistic or a thought-provoking question related to the subject.

2. Main Body: This is where you delve into the heart of your essay, exploring the relevant economic concepts. The main body consists of several paragraphs, each dedicated to a specific aspect of your topic. Here, you present your arguments, analyses, and evidence to support your thesis statement. In the case of the renewable energy essay, you could have separate sections discussing its environmental benefits, economic implications, and potential challenges. Make sure to use clear headings and subheadings to structure your content logically.

3. Conclusion: The conclusion provides closure to your essay. Summarize your key points, restate your thesis statement, and offer insights or implications based on your analysis.

tips for writing economics essay

How to Start Your Economics Essay

The beginning of your paper is your opportunity to grab your readers' attention and set the stage for the insights you'll provide. Here's how to start your essay effectively from our economics essay writing service experts:

1. Crafting an Engaging Introduction: The introduction is your chance to captivate your audience. You can start with an interesting fact or statistic related to your topic. For example, if your essay is about the economic impact of automation, you might begin with a startling statistic about job displacement due to automation in recent years.

2. Formulating a Strong Thesis Statement: Your thesis statement should be concise and crystal clear. It should convey the main argument or point you'll be making in your essay. Using the economics essay examples on automation, your thesis statement might be: 'Automation, while boosting productivity, presents significant challenges in the labor market, requiring innovative approaches to address unemployment and skill gaps.'

3. Hooking the Reader: In addition to your introduction, consider using a hook—a thought-provoking question or a compelling anecdote related to your topic. This can further engage your readers and draw them into the essay. For instance, after your initial statistic, you could pose a question like, 'But how will society adapt to this technological revolution?'

Structuring the Main Body of Your Essay

The main body of your economics essay is where the substance of your arguments and further analysis resides. Proper structuring is essential to ensure that your points are conveyed in such a way that they flow logically and persuasively. Here's how to effectively craft the main body of your economics essay:

1. Organizing Your Ideas Logically: Ensure that the sequence of ideas in your essay flows logically. Start with the main idea, such as the most important or fundamental concepts, and then progress to more complex or detailed points. For example, if your essay discusses the impact of government taxation policies on economic growth, begin with an overview of taxation principles before delving into specific policies.

2. Using Clear Headings and Subheadings: Break down your main body into sections with clear headings and subheadings. Each section should address a distinct aspect of your topic. These headings serve as signposts for your readers, making it easier for them to navigate through your essay. In the taxation essay, you might have sections like 'Taxation Principles,' 'Historical Tax Policies,' and 'Effects on Economic Growth.'

3. Providing Evidence to Support Your Arguments: Every point you make in your essay should be supported by evidence. Use data, statistics, academic research, or real-world examples to back up your claims. For example, when discussing the effects of taxation policies on economic growth, you can include data showing the correlation between changes in tax rates and fluctuations in GDP growth.

4. Addressing Counter Arguments: Acknowledging and addressing counter arguments demonstrates a nuanced understanding of the topic. Anticipate potential objections to your thesis and provide reasoned responses. If critics argue that lower taxes always lead to higher economic growth, for instance, you can present evidence that suggests otherwise.

Writing a Compelling Conclusion

The conclusion of your economics essay serves as the final opportunity to leave a lasting impression on your readers. A well-crafted conclusion should tie all the elements of your essay together and provide a sense of closure. Here's how to write a compelling conclusion:

1. Summarizing Key Points: Begin your conclusion by summarizing the key points and arguments you've presented in the main body of your essay. This recap reinforces the main takeaways for your readers.

2. Restating the Thesis Statement: Reiterate your thesis statement, but do so in a way that emphasizes the significance of your argument. This reinforces the central point of your essay.

3. Offering Insights or Implications: Take your essay a step further by offering insights or implications based on your analysis. Consider the broader significance of your findings. In the case of an essay on taxation policies and economic growth, you might discuss the potential policy changes that could promote economic growth while maintaining revenue.

4. Encouraging Further Thought: Conclude your essay by encouraging further thought or research on the topic. Suggest potential areas for future exploration or highlight any lingering questions. This not only demonstrates your depth of understanding but also leaves room for ongoing dialogue.

The Importance of Revision

Revision is a critical, often underestimated, phase in the process of writing a good economics essay. It's during this stage that your essay transforms from a rough draft into a polished, cohesive, and well-organized piece. Here's why revision is of paramount importance:

1. Enhancing Clarity: Revision allows you to review all your paragraphs for clarity in addressing the essay question. It's an opportunity to ensure that your ideas are expressed in a straightforward and comprehensible manner. Consider whether your arguments and explanations are easy to follow. If not, make the necessary revisions to improve clarity.

2. Polishing Grammar and Style: Revision is your chance to correct grammatical errors, typographical mistakes, and awkward sentence structures. A well-edited essay not only conveys professionalism but also ensures that your message is not overshadowed by writing issues.

3. Strengthening the Structure: During revision, you can evaluate the overall structure of your essay. Check whether your introduction effectively sets the stage, the main body logically flows from one point to the next, and your conclusion provides a satisfying resolution. Adjust the structure as needed to improve the overall flow and coherence of your essay.

4. Refining Arguments: Careful revision enables you to scrutinize your arguments and evidence. Consider whether the points you've made are adequately supported by data, examples, and analysis. If you find any gaps or areas for improvement, make the necessary adjustments.

5. Seeking Feedback: It's often beneficial to seek feedback from peers, professors, or writing tutors during the revision process. Fresh perspectives can highlight areas for improvement that you might have missed.

However, if you find the prospect of revising your work overwhelming or time-consuming, there's a convenient solution: you can simply ask for our assistance and say, ' write my essay online .'

Tips and advice for evaluation in essays

Evaluation is an important component of an advanced essay. It requires the ability to look at facts, arguments and analysis, with a degree of critical distance. Evaluation involves:

  • Looking at what other factors may affect the outcome.
  • Time lags involved.
  • How it might depend on other issues, e.g. elasticity of demand
  • Why the original statement may be incorrect.
  • How significant is a factor?

Which questions need evaluation?

Questions which require evaluation usually have these words a the start:

  • To what extent

Examples of Evaluation

1. How reliable is the data?

For any essay, you will be using a variety of sources. For example, an essay on trades unions may include information from the TUC. It is good to give data from a source like TUC. However, a valid evaluation technique is to question the reliability and independence of your source.

For example, it is quite likely that the TUC will choose statistics that are more advantageous to workers. Business organisations, e.g. CBI on the other hand, are likely to give alternative sets of data which is more favourable to their point of view.

Therefore, examine the likelihood of bias in data and resources for the essay.

2. Short run and long run?

The effects of a decision can be quite different in the long run. For example, suppose you had an essay, which examined the impact of an increase in tax on petrol. The obvious answer is to say: “very little, demand for petrol is inelastic”

fall-insupply-causes-increase-in-supply

However, it would be evaluative to say; “However, over time demand may become more elastic. After a couple of years people may find alternative ways of driving.

3. It depends on other factors

When looking at the effect of one outcome, it is worth bearing in mind it is often difficult to isolate other factors. For example, if we were looking at the impact of a rise in interest rates. The effect would usually reduce consumer spending. However, there are many other factors that can affect consumer spending. If confidence was high, for example, consumer spending may not fall at all – despite the increase in interest rates.

4. Look at both points of view

In subjects like economics, history and politics there are usually several different viewpoints. It is important to give them all consideration, even if we don’t necessarily agree with them. For example, if we look at the impact of a rise in government spending, a Keynesian might say this will increase growth; a Monetarist, on the other hand, may argue higher spending merely causes crowding out. Therefore, there are two different possibilities.

5. State of economy

The impact of a devaluation in the currency depends on the state of the economy. If the economy is experiencing inflation and is in a boom, a devaluation could worsen the inflation. However, in a recession, a devaluation can help boost exports and there is likely to be limited impact on inflation.

The effect of a fall in AD depends on state of economy

fall-ad-depends-on-spare-capacity

6. How significant is a factor?

A recession in France would lead to lower UK exports to France. France is an important trading partner, however on its own French exports are only a relatively small % of UK AD.   If the rest of the Eurozone was growing, and it was just France in recession, it is unlikely to have much impact on the UK economy. However, if the whole global economy was in recession, this would be much more significant and likely cause a recession in the UK too.

7. Different perspectives

As we mentioned in, UK economic growth in the past four years. How you interpret data is important.

If you showed a graph of UK economy growth since 2013 Q1 – it would give quite a favourable impression of economy.

economic-growth-last-4-years

Including figures from 2011 Q1 gives less favourable.

If we look at this graph, it shows the UK economy still has a large negative output gap.

real-gdp-trend-actual

The important thing is that statistics may only tell part of the story. Just because an economy like Spain grew in the last quarter – doesn’t necessarily mean their economy is doing very well.

More on macroeconomic evaluation – discuss the impact of a cut in interest rates

Example question

Discuss impact of the MPC cutting interest rates from 5% to 4.5%?

Lower interest rates make it cheaper to borrow and therefore encourage consumer spending. Cheaper borrowing also encourages firms to invest. With an increase in C + I, we see a rise in Aggregate Demand and therefore we can expect higher economic growth and higher inflation.

increase-ad-depends-spare-full-capacity

Examples of Evaluation of this question

  • In theory, lower interest rates will increase spending. However, commercial banks may not pass the base rate cut onto consumers. This happened during the credit crisis because there was a shortage of cash. Therefore, banks were reluctant to lend – they needed to improve their balance sheets.  Therefore, even though the MPC  cut base rates in 2008-09, consumers may not notice lower interest rates  and therefore, there was little if any increase in consumer spending. This explains why the interest rate cut of 2009, failed to cause a strong economic recovery.
  • Lower interest rates may not increase economic growth because other aspects of the economy are doing badly. For example, falling house prices are causing a decline in consumer wealth and confidence. Therefore, despite lower interest rates, falls in house prices are offsetting the potential boost to spending from lower rates. Also, in 2009-11, we experienced a global recession. The recession in the Eurozone caused lower exports and therefore the cut in rates could be insufficient given the fact other aspects of AD are being reduced.
  • The cut is only very small. 0.25% is probably insufficient to have much effect especially given problems already mentioned. However, you could argue the UK is sensitive to interest rates because of the number of variable mortgages. Even a 0.25% cut in rates can increase disposable income for people with large mortgages. (this is what you might call double evaluation, evaluation of the evaluation)
  • The cut will take time. A cut in interest rates will not boost spending immediately. For example, It will not affect people on a fixed-rate mortgage for about 2 years. Therefore, after a cut in interest rate, we may not see the boost to spending for up to 18 months; this makes monetary policy much more difficult.

Tip 1: Understand the relevance of economics to daily life and choose a topic with practical applications.

Mastering the Art of A-Level Economics Essay Writing: Tips and Techniques

25 oct mastering the art of a-level economics essay writing: tips and techniques.

One of the paramount aspects of excelling in A-levels Economics is the mastery of the art of essay writing. Many economics students harbor two major fears when confronted with essay-type questions: the specter of time running out and the apprehension of failing to employ the correct writing style. It’s imperative to recognize that your writing style significantly influences your final grade.

In this comprehensive guide, we will explore various key points pertaining to writing styles in economics, how to enhance your skills, and delve into the significance and distinctive features of each technique.

The Significance of a Pristine Writing Style

The A-level economics examination paper encompasses essay writing and case study questions, with the former carrying more substantial weightage. In these essay responses, students are tasked with the critical challenge of articulating their ideas effectively, and herein lies the essence of a sound writing style.

Let’s introduce you to the invaluable “Three Tip Rule” to bolster your essay writing skills.

Tip 1: Precision

Precision in writing equates to crafting concise, straightforward sentences. Embrace the judicious use of full stops to avoid lengthy, convoluted sentences that might impede readability. Moreover, resist the temptation to nestle multiple ideas within a single sentence; this practice can mar clarity and comprehension. In exceptional cases where complexity is warranted, judiciously employ transition words to navigate through intricate notions seamlessly.

Tip 2: Perfection

Aptly chosen, the term “perfection” is emblematic of an area where students can gain easy marks in economics: precision through definitions and diagrams. Economists thrive on precision, and mastering the definitions of key terms is undeniably beneficial. By wielding definitions and diagrams effectively, students can elucidate complex concepts with clarity and finesse.

Tip 3: Be Focused

Another indispensable facet of the writing style in economics lies in unwavering focus on keywords. Upon perusing the question, swiftly underline the pivotal keywords that will shape your argument. This practice keeps your responses aligned with the core tenets of the question, fostering logical cohesion and making your answers more compelling. Furthermore, engender fluency in your writing by establishing thoughtful connections between these pivotal keywords.

Additionally, revisit the question periodically during your writing process. This perpetual reassessment ensures that your essay remains germane, as it reaffirms your focus on the quintessential issues under examination.

Mitigating Common Writing Challenges

Notably, not all students are naturally predisposed to writing fluency, or they may grapple with time management during examinations. Several common challenges arise in essay writing, which, if not addressed, can impede both performance and completion within the allocated time frame.

The Dreaded Time Crunch

The torment of running out of time during an examination is an omnipresent nightmare for many students. Picture yourself in the examination hall, with only ten minutes left to conclude your essay while you linger on the introductory paragraph.

To avert this predicament, it is essential to strategize before you put pen to paper. The practice of preliminary essay planning through techniques such as mind mapping or outlining key points offers a profound advantage. Dedicate the initial fifteen minutes to delineating fundamental ideas for each essay section, thus providing a solid framework for the ensuing writing. Consistently revisit the question during the writing process to uphold focus and forestall the inclusion of extraneous details that may consume precious time.

The Peril of Irrelevance

Failing to answer the question at hand can be a costly error in essay writing. Tangential responses squander valuable time and yield suboptimal outcomes. Precision is paramount; employ memorized definitions or pertinent points with diligence.

To preempt irrelevance, repeatedly scrutinize the question. This practice ensures that your writing remains closely aligned with the question’s specific parameters. Even if you momentarily veer off course, vigilant reassessment allows you to swiftly self-correct and maintain a pointed response.

Mastering These Skills: The Road to Success

As the adage goes, practice makes perfect. Proficiency in these writing skills is cultivated over time and demands dedicated engagement with the subject material. Once you have navigated the breadth of the syllabus outline, undertake the task of practicing as many questions as you can independently.

However, many students may grapple with the subtleties of their writing and may remain oblivious to inherent mistakes. Others may necessitate additional guidance to elevate their writing proficiency. Fortunately, an invaluable resource is readily accessible: JCEconomics by Anthony Fok.

JCEconomics, spearheaded by the esteemed Anthony Fok, stands as a premier economics tuition center in Singapore. Anthony Fok is renowned for his unwavering commitment to his students, providing them with personalized support and comprehensive instruction. His pedagogical approach incorporates real-life examples, elucidating economic concepts with exceptional clarity. By engaging with JCEconomics, students gain access to a wealth of resources and individualized attention, positioning them for success in A-level Economics .

In summation, the ability to craft compelling economics essays is a hallmark of A-level success. By assimilating the principles of precision, perfection, and focus, students can refine their writing style to earn higher marks.
