A labour market failure revision booklet originally designed for OCR F583 but may also be suitable for AQA labour market topics. The first half has blank spaces for students work work through themselves, I usually print each slide in A4. The second half if a teacher copy with the answers to the questions filled in. Contents of the slides include . . . A) Causes of labour market failure - Monopsony - Trade unions - Unemployment - Economic inactivity - Segmented labour markets - Discrimination - Skill shortages - Immobility of labour - geographical and occupational immobility - Information failure B) Assessing Labour Market Policies - Education and training - Information provision - Regional policy - National minimum wage - Strengthening trade union power - Leaving to the free market

Macroeconomic objectives revision activity. The resource includes a blank document for students to attempt and a teachers copy with the answers. For each objective there are definitions, measurements, limitations of the measurements, causes, benefits and costs.

Economics scategories for AS microeconomics. Students are given a trigger word and they have to write down as many words or statements that go with this word as they can think of in three minutes, this can either be done in teams or individually. There is an macro economic example to start off to demonstrate the game to the students. To win students must come up with as many words as they can think of that are related to the trigger word and that no one else has thought of. You score as you would do in scategories, for example if both students write down PED for example, neither of them can get a point for it. This encourages students to think outside of the box. After each trigger word there is a slide with suggestions of what students could have put, but there will be far more than just these and ultimately it will be up to the teacher to decide whether a phrase is related or not.

A macroeconomic logic puzzle that would be good for an end of term revision lesson. In this quiz each word should be cut out and placed in an envelope labelled with the grid square e.g. A1, D5 etc. Start with giving them A1, they should be able to deduce the other squares from there using the clues they receive every time they find a word. There is not a specific order that this game has to be solved in either so any approach is fine. This is quite a difficult quiz and should last them almost a whole hour. They may also need some hints. The fastest a group has managed to solve it in is 40 minutes.

An AS economics game using true or false questions to solve an incomplete QR code. When scanned the quote says 'Education is the best economic policy there is' which was first said by Tony Blair. This would be ideal as a quick end of term game that can be used for revision. A teacher copy of the correct QR code and correct answers to the questions is also included. You can adapt the questions if needed to suit another subject.

A labour market revision booklet made specifically for OCR F583 Economics of Work and Leisure but also could be used for AQA Business Economics and the Distribution of Income. The presentation can be printed as two booklets. The first 16 slides has blanks which students can fill in themselves. I normally print them as one A4 piece of paper for each slide. The next 16 slides is a teacher copy with the answers on. The content included in this booklet is: - The supply of labour by the individual and to the industry - Non pecuniary factors - The demand for labour and MRP theory - Elasticity of labour demand and labour supply - Factors that shift the labour demand and labour supply curve - Wage determination and its influences - Economic rent and transfer earnings

A worksheet for information failure, public goods and minimum prices for students to complete.

A really good activity for the end of the Macroeconomics course to get students to link together the concepts that they have seen. I usually print the first slide off in A3 for them to work on and then we discuss the answers as a class. Students must come up with analysis and evaluation for six macroeconomic objectives and are encouraged to think outside of the box. On the next two slides there is teacher copies with answers for evaluation and analysis. The last slide contains some general evaluative points that students could bring up.

A handout for A Level students explaining the Marshall Lerner condition and J curve effect. The Marshall Lerner condition includes both a diagrammatic and mathematical example to demonstrate the concept. Words or numbers could be removed to stretch and challenge more adept students.

Evaluation points that can be used in unit 2 and unit 4 essay questions. Evaluation points for macroeconomic objectives encompass any question students could be asked. There are also essay plans with evaluation for all three macroeconomic policies. Slides 1 - 8 can be printed and given to students to fill in either individually, in pairs or as a group. Extensive answers can be found slides 9 - 16.

A model answer to the question: Using the data and your economic knowledge, evaluate whether governments such as those in the UK and China should intervene in labour markets to increase trade union membership (25 marks)

A classroom game that demonstrates the circular flow of income. Split your class into households and firms and give them the corresponding worksheet. You need to cut out the slips at the end of the document. There are two rounds to this game. At the start of the first game allocate households factors of production and allocate firms money. The initial allocation of factors of production represents wealth and I divided these unequally between the households but distributed money certificates equally between firms to see who is a better businessman. I did a ratio of two money certificates for every one factor of production so the equilibrium wage should be two (don't let the students know this though). Any unused factors of production represent unemployment and should be taken off households at the end of the game. In the second round change the firms factors of production into goods and services. I did one factor of production equals one goods and services. Ask firms to calculate there profits at the end of the game and find out who were the best business people. Ask the students to draw what they saw in the game. Then ask the students what is missing from the closed economy model.

A class game and worksheet to demonstrate the multiplier effect with activity questions. Allow each student to choose what goods and services they produce before starting the game and then follow the instructions on the sheet. The answers to the questions are as follows: (1) 2.5 (2) £1500m (3) 4 (4) - £1440m (5) False (6) £1.7bn.

An Edexcel macroeconomics news quiz in the style of Have I Got News for You. News is from 16/02/2016.

Economics key words say what you see game. Ideal for a fun macroeconomics starter activity.

A powerpoint presentation with videos, empirical research, website hyperlinks and activity ideas that answer the following questions: 1. How can we measure national happiness? 2. What is the relationship between income and happiness? (can money buy happiness?) These questions are new to the Edexcel A Level Economics specification for 2015.

A worksheet (and extension task) for students to act as the ONS and calculate price indexes, convert nominal GDP to real GDP, calculate GDP growth and GDP per capita. Includes questions designed to prompt students to work out why there is a difference in these measurements and useful formulas. Also includes a teacher answer sheet with the figures students should have calculated and brief answers to the questions.
