Economics HL article for IA


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

Just wondering if you have any opinions on the articles i've selected for my IA before i start writing them.

 

Micro : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-33479118  OR   http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/may/15/protests-in-seattle-greet-shell-oil-rig-destined-for-arctic-drilling

 

 

Macro : http://www.bbc.com/news/business-29587707

 

 

Cheers :)

Hey that first micro article is great in my opinion, because it covers the most looked at area in micro, which is market failure. Additionally not only can you talk about the taxation to increase the price of sugary drinks as negative externalities and reducing welfare loss but you can also highlight the area where they talk about reducing the price of fruits and such as positive externalities and an attempt to utilise some of that possible welfare gain.

 

As for the macro article, i'm not really sure what section of macro you are trying to cover, or if it really fits in, might not have takes a good enough look, but i don't know about that one. Ideally you want something in which the syllabus section covered is plain and obvious.
