Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr G. Black.

13ECO - Economics NCEA Level 3

Aims of the Course:

This course focuses on how the three groups in the economy (firms, household and government) interact in the marketplace.  Their interactions result in economic decisions being made about what, how and for whom goods and services will be produced.  The market is the central component of New Zealand’s mixed economy; by studying the mechanism that allocates scarce resources and determines price you should understand the impact of your own participation.  Study at Year 13 will provide a framework for tertiary study of the discipline.
