DP Year 2 Economics

The DP Year 2 (Grade 12) Economics curriculum is the culmination of the two-year course, offered at both Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL). It is organized into four main units: Introduction to Economics, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, and The Global Economy, with students applying economic theories and models to real-world issues. In the final year, students complete their study of Macroeconomics (covering macroeconomic objectives, inequality and poverty, demand-side and supply-side policies) and The Global Economy (covering international trade, exchange rates, balance of payments, economic integration, and sustainable development) . Assessment consists of three examination papers (Papers 1 and 2 for all students, plus Paper 3 for HL only) and an Internal Assessment (IA) portfolio of three commentaries analyzing published news articles through the lens of nine key concepts (scarcity, choice, efficiency, equity, economic well-being, sustainability, change, interdependence, and intervention).
