The Economics economic project is assessed by the school and moderated at Stage 2. Teachers select moderation samples and submit materials online.

Students conduct an in-depth analysis of an economic question or issue. They apply economic concepts and skills in order to analyse economic information and make well reasoned recommendations for relevant stakeholders.

Students collect and analyse quantitative and qualitative data of an economic question or issue. They collect and analyse economic information such as statistics, graphs, journals, newspapers, official reports, case studies, film, cartoons, and articles.

Students make well-reasoned recommendations for relevant stakeholders and explain the rationale for their decisions.

Students complete one individual economic project. The economic project should be a maximum of 2000 words if written, or the equivalent in oral or multimodal form, where 6 minutes is equivalent to 1000 words.

Student work should be their own. See Supervision and verification of student work.

Teachers can access student samples for school assessment and external assessment components via PLATO.
