    Economics IA FAQ
    Length of your IB Economics Internal Assessment: up to 750 words. The word count of your Economics IA does not include the following:

    Labels of up to 5 words
    Diagram headings of up to 10 words
    Contents page
    Acknowledgements
    Citations (must be in the body) (Important: all de nitions must be in the body of the commentary and hence, are included in the word count)
    References (must be in footnotes)
    Calculations including formulae and any equations

    Another important thing: quotations from the article are included into the word count. Therefore, when referring to the article avoid quoting the
    whole sentence, rather than just the relevant bits. If part of a sentence is left out use: <…>.  (e.g. “The company not only <…> but also increased their
    prices from 0.5$ to 0.75$ per unit.”)

    Weight of your Economics IA: 20% of your overall economics grade

    Number of commentaries that must be submitted: 3, all of which must be from a di erent part of the syllabus (Microeconomics, Macroeconomics,
    International economics and Development economics)

    Article: Not older than 12 months at the time of writing and each article must be from a di erent source. If the article is long (e.g. includes several
    topics, not just economics) you can highlight the relevant bits. Here is a guide (http://ibeconomist.com/internal-assessment/ib-economics-ia-articles/) on
    how to nd a recent article which could be used for your Economics Internal Assessment. You can also ease up your life by using one of the articles
    suggested by us (http://ibeconomist.com/internal-assessment/suggested-articles/) (all of which include brief explanations of possible discussion points).

    Marking: your Economics Internal Assessments are marked by your teacher(s). Afterwards a sample of commentaries is sent to the IB for moderation.

    Graphs and Diagrams: this is a guide (http://ibeconomist.com/internal-assessment/diagrams-for-economics-internal-assessment/) on how to score full


    marks for Criterion A (Diagrams) of your IA. This is a guide (http://ibeconomist.com/internal-assessment/guide-to-sketching-perfect-diagrams/) on how
    to draw professional-looking diagrams for your Internal Assessment. However, if you are really keen on drawing your diagrams by hand – it is allowed
    (not recommended).

    Help from the teacher: your teacher is allowed to comment once on each of your Economics Internal Assessments. Therefore, make sure your rst
    draft that you submit for your teacher’s review is as good as possible.

    Coversheets: one can be found here: IB Economics IA Coversheet (http://ibeconomist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/IB-Economics-IA-


    Coversheet.pdf). It must be lled in with every single one of your Internal Assessments and handed in together.

    The most important fact to keep in mind: if in doubt – always consult your teacher. We cannot stress this enough! Your teacher is the one marking
    your Economics Internal Assessment so make sure he is happy with what you have produced and follow his advice!

    Best of luck, folks!
