Unit 1Introduction to Economics
The foundational concepts and methodology that underpin the DP Economics course.
The conceptual and methodological foundations of DP Economics: scarcity, choice and opportunity cost; the production possibility frontier; economic systems and the circular flow of income; positive vs normative economics, models and ceteris paribus; and the nine key concepts that frame the whole course.
Skills & assessment. Beyond definitions, the lessons train the habits the rest of the course depends on — drawing and reading the PPF, reasoning at the margin, and using the key concepts as analytical lenses — with diagram practice and short exam-style questions in every lesson.
Unit 2Microeconomics
Demand, supply and elasticity through to market failure, government intervention, and the HL theory of the firm.
The largest unit: demand, supply and the price mechanism; the four elasticities (PED, PES, YED, XED); market equilibrium, surplus and welfare; the behavioural critique of rational choice; market failure (externalities, public goods, common pool resources, asymmetric information); and the full range of government intervention. HL content extends to the theory of the firm, market structures, and the labour market.
Skills & assessment. Because microeconomics carries so much of the diagram and calculation load, every lesson foregrounds accurate diagrams, worked numerical examples, and the evaluation of intervention — the skills tested heavily in Papers 1 and 3 — across 31 lessons with exam-style questions and mark schemes.
Unit 3Macroeconomics
Measuring and managing the economy — the AD–AS model, the macroeconomic objectives, and the policy toolkit.
From measuring economic activity (the GDP approaches, real vs nominal GDP, the business cycle) to the AD–AS model and the macroeconomic objectives — growth, low unemployment, low and stable inflation, and an equitable distribution of income — plus the fiscal, monetary and supply-side policy toolkit and inequality via the Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient.
Skills & assessment. The lessons emphasise interpreting real macroeconomic data, constructing and shifting AD–AS diagrams, and weighing competing policies and their trade-offs — the analysis and evaluation central to AO3 and AO4 — across 21 lessons with data-response practice and mark schemes.
Unit 4The Global Economy
International trade, exchange rates, the balance of payments, and economic development.
Economic analysis in the international context: free trade and comparative advantage; the instruments and arguments of protection; economic integration; fixed and floating exchange rate systems; the balance of payments; and economic development — its measurement (HDI, MPI, composite indices), barriers and strategies — extending to environmental sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals.
Skills & assessment. The course's richest ground for evaluation and synthesis: lessons use global case studies, current data, and structured cross-country comparison to build the well-supported argument the upper mark bands reward, across 23 lessons with exam-style questions and mark schemes.
