Course summary

The Edexcel Economics B course examines real world problems in order to create a genuine understanding of the important concepts in economics. It offers a distinctly different approach with economic concepts and theories taught through real business contexts. The economic theory means students understand economic issues and events and the business contexts help them to understand the strategies employed by businesses in responding to these events. It has updated content with an introduction to the financial sector and the role of banks, the investigation of consumer behaviour, business decisions and government objectives and policies.
