Suggested Activities
1. Keep a journal or maintain your own economics blog and through your writing apply your understanding of economics to the real world.
2. Get into the habit of reading about economics or watching the news to see how economic concepts and theories can help you make sense of major developments. You can make comments about articles and events on your blog or in your journal. This skill forms the basis of the Internal Assessment in IB Economics.

Assessment
As Section 1 aims to introduce you to the concepts and theories you will meet later in the course, typical questions that test your understanding will be identified in the appropriate section. Topics not covered in depth later in the course include types of economies and the PPF (PPC).
Section 1 and Section 5 are the only sections that are identical for both SL and HL students.

![Page 42: Econ ppt 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54beacc34a7959705b8b46b7/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Typical Questions
Questions that ask you illustrate the key concepts of scarcity, opportunity costs and tradeoffs.
1 Explain what is meant by a production possibility curve and use a diagram to help explain concepts of scarcity, choice and opportunity cost.
2 Using a production possibility curve, explain how the discovery of gold would effect an economy.
3 Explain the difference between a movement along an existing production possibility curve (PPC) and an outward shift in a production possible curve.

Typical Questions
Questions that ask you to explain the similarities and differences between various economies.
4 Explain the differences between free market economy and a planned economy.
5 Explain the economic consequences of a transition from a planned economy to a market economy.

Diagrams
Section 1 does not have a great number of associated diagrams.
However you should know the following:
1.How the PPC illustrates opportunity costs, actual growth and potential growth in an economy.
2.PPCs curves that can distinguish between growth and development.
