Economics IA

IB Economics IA review for article use, diagrams, and evaluation.

An Economics IA commentary should apply theory to a real article, not simply explain a textbook model. A useful review checks whether the diagram, analysis, key concept, and evaluation all serve the article.

Economics IA areas to review

Article

Relevant and recent enough

The article should give enough economic material for analysis and evaluation, with a clear policy, market, or stakeholder issue.

Diagram

Model supports the commentary

A strong diagram is labeled, explained, and used to analyze the article rather than inserted as decoration.

Evaluation

Trade-offs and stakeholders

Evaluation should weigh outcomes for different groups and consider assumptions, time horizons, and limitations.

Economics IA review FAQ

What should an Economics IA review check first?

Start with the article choice, key concept, diagram relevance, and whether economic theory is applied to the article rather than explained in isolation.

How can Economics IA evaluation improve?

Evaluation improves when it weighs stakeholders, short-run and long-run effects, assumptions, limitations, and policy trade-offs using the article context.

Can the studio review microeconomics and macroeconomics commentaries?

Yes. The draft can be reviewed with subject and course context, and feedback focuses on the selected IA commentary.
