Economics IA Article Requirements


Recommended Posts

Hello all, I'm trying to pick a good article for my practice IA and ...

1) Does the article have to be a piece of actual, this-has-just happened news?

2) Does the article itself have to be really about economics, or can I choose an article regarding the growth of an industry (w/o econ terms, just general stuff) and manage to derive economic meaning from it? 

Please help... Thank you!

Getting Started with IB ECONOMICS Commentaries:

Choose articles NOT earlier than 6 Months from your current academic year.

·      The Internal assessment has a portfolio of 3 commentaries of 750 words each, taken from 3 different sources focusing on different sections from the syllabus, namely Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, International Economics and Development Economics.

 

·      The marks are systematically allotted to definitions of the economic terms, concepts, theories, diagrams and evaluation.

 

·      For an easy understanding of what IB wants, please take a look at any sample question from paper 2 from the IB Economics Finals. The question has a small case study followed by 4 questions asking for 2 definitions (Q1 part a and b), 2 conceptual /theoretical extracts (Q2, 3) and the last and the most important question (Q4) focusing on the Evaluation.

 

·      Your choice of article and content of the commentary should include the similar requirements covering the answers to these 4 questions and you are all set for your Economics Internals Assessments. Please see articles with discussion , topic links and evaluation points for Commentaries.

·      The economic concepts and definitions are highlighted for you to develop the commentary from the syllabus. You can follow the same theme and search for articles for writing a good commentary. 

 

·      All the Very Best!
