After the hectic season of Y2 students, finishing up EE during the winter break,
it is now the very season for Y1 students to start EE.
If you have chosen Economics as your EE subject and OVERWHELMED by the task, let me give you a quick guideline to calm down and see a big picture.
First, let me tell you what you need to keep in mind to proceed with a clear undertaking of the Econ EE.
Here follows important information about Economics EE that you must properly understand.
1. Economics EE should…
Study a recent economic event, at least within 5 years.
Study an economic issue or policy: Do not go over to other subjects such as Business or Psychology.
Gather data and apply economic theories related to the issue: Think whether you can collect real data.
Apply economic models and tools to evaluate it: Check where you can analyse your topic with theoretical models from the Econ syllabus.
Use theories and topics within the IB syllabus, but should not necessarily be restricted to only these theories and topics: Make it deep and insightful.
2. The second easiest way to understand Econ EE is to compare it with IA.
By the time when EE task is instructed to students, almost all of them must have already completed the first Economics IA Commentary.
Let's check out the differences between IA and EE and have a solid understanding of EE.
