A-level经济学难吗，真题解析

供给与需求（Demand&Supply），A-level经济开篇就会讲的知识，在A-level经济中占有重要地位。为什么这么说？当然是因为这一知识点是A-level经济的基础，后期知识无一不与其挂钩。只有夯实了基础，后期的学习才会顺利。说到供给与需求（Demand&Supply），就不得不提到价格弹性（Price Elasticity），作为经济中100%必考的两个关联知识点，掌握这两门知识，可谓是赢了经济考试的一半！小北整理了考试真题的相关资讯，一起去看看吧。

经济是门社会科学，所有的经济理论都是为了分析解释现实生活中出现的经济问题。通过审题，我们大概了解这道题目考察的知识点：供给与需求、价格弹性，那么如何把考点串起来解释题目呢？概括来说主要为以下两点：逻辑因果关系的解释说明+文章内容的支持。为了方便大家理解，小编用英文具体分析一下这道题目：

At the sight of an increase in tuition fee, what should come up in students’ mind is the similar economical modeling, that is, the effects of the rising price on the demand side on a market. Here, the demand side refers exactly to the educatees who are in badly needed for the higher education. Hence, students can dig into this question from the perspective of educatees. After specifying a decrease in demand for high education, another question worths a second thought that to what degree the responsiveness of demand for education to the climbing tuition is, which relates to PED.

In a word, two key knowledge points concerns this question is the relationship between the rising price and the demand side and PED.

For point 1, we can marshal the logic chains of the increasing tuition fees.

Increasing tuition fees→more expensive to afford education →educatees in a lot of debt at the end of three years→lower demand for higher education

+ the text given as supporting details: another significant increase in tuition fees is predicted in 2010 from ?3000 a year to ?6000 a year（rocketing tuition fees）； demand fell by 3% from 522155 to 506304（shrunk demand）

For point 2, PED can be calculated according to the numerical value offered so as to define whether education is elastic or not, which can evidence the extent of the impact of an increase in tuition fees on application to higher education.

Evaluation

事情总是多面性的，经济议题更是如此。（毕竟把10个经济学家关在一个房间里，可以产生11种经济理论。）那么，这一部分便是对经济理论的适用范围、政策的优缺点进行的总结了。总的来说，在这部分小伙伴们主要需要的是批判性思维！

As for evaluation, students can consider it through other factors like the magnitude, time range, potential problems and so on.

1. Time range

student applications only experience a short-run fall in 2006（506304） in comparison to either 2005（522155）or 2007（534495）。

→ the implications behind this: higher education still worths it in reference to the clues in the context given （a highly qualified graduate workforce attracts more investment and generates more production and tax revenue for the economy）。

2. The potential problems that derive from the higher tuition fees

Tuition fees are part of the total expenditure that students should cover, which means they have to budget carefully for other expenditure like living costs.

3. Magnitude

the doubling tuition fees in 2010 can have a similar effect to that of 2006.

4. Limited influences of higher tuition fees in terms of different groups

For the rich, it is less influencial.

For the poor, it is more influencial.
