These essay plans are for the developing and emerging economies chapter in Edexcel Economics A: Theme 4, focusing on 2 specific questions in detail:
Whether aid is important factor of development
Whether aid should be sent to developing countries
These essay plans are very article driven, led by context of applied economics and politics, in which can be applied to many economical theories within the emerging and developing economics chapter. This provides a wider insight to the bigger context of aid, from an arguably multi-disciplinary perspective.
This is a document of topics that generally come across as challenging in Theme 4.
This can be personalized to meet your own needs, and the content can be changed to be more specific in terms of the economic ideas that are harder to revise.
This overall, did focus my revision over the summer, allowing me to achieve an A* in my Paper 2 Edexcel Economics Exam, and this would be a useful resource for quickly summarising harder content in later periods of revision for upcoming exams/ mock exams.
This theme 3 Edexcel essay plans have been invaluable to my revision. The content of these plans have been tailored specifically to fulfill demands of the specification. Whilst I personally use a 2 paragraph structure with however points in my essay in the exams, I like to write 2-4 paragraphs in these plans to provide choice in what content you can build up upon, either contextually or theoretically (in terms of economic analysis). These plans are very example based and/or article driven, as the content/theory is rather easier to apply with given examples provided.
These plans specifically are more unique to my general plans and are very brief pointers of ideas you can use for analysis and evaluation when writing a variety of economic essays for theme 3.
This is a blank summary sheet that can be used to summarize the relationship between macroeconomic policy and economic objectives covered in the A-level specification.
i made this for specifically Edexcel, but can be used for other specification

The topics I’ve included in this are:
Business Growth
Efficiency (E.g. allocative, productive)
Pricing strategies (and non-pricing strategies)
These are my A-level notes for Theme 3 Economics, which really helped me in securing top grades in my Paper 1 Exam. The notes are full and concise, covering every aspect of the specification in detail, with a structure outlining all points on the specification in order to ensure this. Examples have been provided when necessary to apply context to the economic concepts in Theme 3.
These notes are very easy to learn and are summarised sufficiently, respective to the broadness of a specific topic in the business behaviour and labour market unit. Overall, these notes are invaluable in securing top grades in Edexcel Economics A (A-level 2015) and the content can easily be applicable to other specifications.

Detailed specification Notes

Analysis of market structures
These are Edexcel economic essay plans that are very comprehensive, with examples, specifically UK and Nigeria based (as my chosen developing country for Theme 4). I’ve separated the essays into 5 differing parts covering all/majority of the specification. I have divided all chapters into 5 individually to provide option of buying one chapter.
The Topics of my essay plans include:
International Economies (Globalization (Evaluating both costs and benefits), Causes of Globalization, Patterns of Trade, Specialization and Trade, UK leaving EU, Free trade, Protectionism)
A critical essay plan on the causes of poverty and ways to reduce income inequality
Essay plans on aid, with relevant contemporary examples in the UK (x2), as well as 2 general development economics essay plans,one on tourism and debt relief and trade liberalization.
Essays covering main bullet points on role of the state, including macroeconomic measures for poverty/inequality, international competitiveness, changing levels in taxation and public expenditure, along with problems for policy makers.
I memorized all of these in time for my exams and conveniently, my plans had appeared in Paper 2, in verbatim to the specification. Edexcel have a tendency to either draw towards past essay questions from the legacy spec or 16 markers (unit 3) or use bullet points from the specifications. Essay plans are essential in all topics to guarantee your success. These plans inadvertently prepare you for 10,12 and 15 mark responses in section B (Edexcel).
Whilst I’ve made these essay plans for Edexcel, the structure is similar to other exam boards, so if the content is relevant it may also be of use. A few of my essays may contain 3 paragraphs because it is nice to have choice when planning and deciding what points you understand easier. In the exam I aim ideally to write 2 detailed analytical paragraphs with heavy convincing evaluation and a strong judgement with extra theoretical weight.
Note: majority of the plans are comprehensive, a significant minority of these plans may be less detailed.
By doing all of this, allowed me to achieve an A* in my paper 2 exam.
