A Level Economics
at The Bromfords School, Wickford · school or sixth form
What the college says
Economics is concerned with the production, consumption and transfer of wealth. Arguably, Economics ultimately underpins everything we humans do and studying the way in which people and markets interact can explain why people and governments act in certain ways. Microeconomics focuses on the actions of individuals and industries within the economy; the interaction between buyer and seller, how people and companies respond to price changes and how this impacts demand. Macroeconomics looks at Economics from a broad point of view, analysing the economic output of entire countries their position in the international marketplace and how they allocate limited resources to maximise production and encourage growth for future generations.
