THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO
PEARSON EDEXCEL INTERNATIONAL
AS & A-Level Economics
Whether you are mastering core economic models or perfecting high-scoring evaluation essays, here is everything you need to know about the Pearson Edexcel IAL Economics curriculum at a glance.
THE 4 CORE THEMES OF STUDY
The curriculum is split across two academic stages (IAS & IA2), building your analytical depth from local market mechanisms to complex global systems:
1. THEME 1: MARKETS IN ACTION (IAS - Micro)
Dive into how markets allocate resources. Explore consumer behavior, demand, supply, price elasticities, market failures, and the nature of government intervention.
2. THEME 2: MACROECONOMIC PERFORMANCE & POLICY (IAS - Macro)
Analyze key economic indicators: growth, inflation, unemployment, and balance of payments. Master how governments use monetary, fiscal, and supply-side policies to stabilize economies.
3. THEME 3: BUSINESS BEHAVIOUR & THE LABOUR MARKET (IA2 - Micro)
Examine corporate dynamics, revenues, costs, and profits. Master complex market structures—from perfect competition to monopolies—and explore how competitive forces shape labor markets.
4. THEME 4: A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE (IA2 - Macro)
Understand the mechanics of globalisation, international trade, trade protectionism, and trading blocs. Evaluate the economic challenges faced by developing and emerging economies.
