Economics

Implementation

2009 is the first year of implementation. The first WACE examinations for Economics will be conducted in 2010.

Summary

The Economics course investigates the choices which all people, groups and societies face as they confront the ongoing problem of satisfying their unlimited wants with a limited amount of resources. The study of Economics supports an understanding of the nature of decision-making, our demands for the allocation of resources and how we distribute those resources. This is done in the context of the global economy and Australia’s role as an international citizen.
