This resource is specifically tailored for VCE Economics

http://www.economics.unimelb.edu.au/SITE/TLdevelopment/econochat/econochat1.shtml

Out of all the resources, this is probably the best one for VCE Economics students.

hey thx for all these links! im just wondering... how helpful will they actually b for the year 12 sacs and exm? i guess to rephrase that my question is how will/can econs current news help me? >.< (sorry if it sounds like a really stupid ques)
Title: Re: Useful Economics Links
Post by: Eriny on December 12, 2007, 09:49:00 am
Current news is pretty vital knowledge for the exam alongside the theory. Just keep up with the news and read a few websites (the Mr. Wood one is pretty good). Save important things (like the budget, the RBAs Monetary Policy statements, changes to Workplace Relations, etc.). You may feel a bit lost at first, but it will all come together perfectly by the end of the year if you're consistent with your approach to economics.

http://www.econjournalwatch.org/main/index.php

The electronic triannual Econ Journal Watch publishes Comments on articles appearing in economics journals and serves as a forum about economics research and the economics profession. EJW watches the journals for inappropriate assumptions, weak chains of argument, phony claims of relevance, and omissions of pertinent truths. Pointed, constructive criticism requires an independent forum and an accessible and timely medium.

Hey everyone,

Thought it might be of use to some people if I posted the quizlet flashcard stack I used for my year 12. There's 229 definitions there covering the entire course (at least, I hope there is!). Whilst I'd recommend you create your own version of this for a bit of extra revision, these saved my life, and I can't recommend enough using flashcards to get those definitions down well.

You can find the definitions here: https://quizlet.com/_21ccg5

Good luck!

I have attached a document with a list of articles that you may want to read for examples to use for the exam. These articles were selected by my economics teacher, who has marked the exams for a long time. So these examples are legit and can be used on the exam (i think considering the study design asks for the last 2 years of data). I also have articles from 2013-2014, so if you would like those as well. Please PM me for it.

These articles are from 2015-2016 and covers the following
A Aggregate  Demand

B Aggregate Supply

E Economic Goals
-E2 Full Employment
 -E2b AD/AS Factors affecting employment
  -E4a Protection vs Free Trade
   -E5 Income Distribution/Equity
 
F Budgetary Policy

G Demand Management Policies
-G1 Budgetary Policy
  -G2 Monetary Policy
   -G3 Monetary/Budgetary Policy in demand management

H Aggregate Supply Policies
-H1b Labour Market Reform (incl o/s workers)
 -H1c Deregulation of markets
   -H2 Immigration Policy
    -H3 Environmental Policy
