The Standard Grade Economics tutor, Intermediate Economics tutor and Higher Economics tutor promotes an understanding of the economic environment. Business and enterprise are at the heart of national growth and development and this is reflected in the important place that business education assumes in the curriculum. The provision offers opportunities for candidates to develop the crucial skills and knowledge which allow them to access, understand and contribute to the dynamic and complex business and information environment. Whatever the career pathway or progression route, business education can provide a valuable context which enhances individual effectiveness.

All societies, organisations and individuals face the basic economic problem of allocating scarce resources among competing uses. Economics is the social science which provides the knowledge base and the range of skills which promote an understanding of the economic dimension of life which revolves around the production and consumption of goods and services. Economics is, therefore, concerned with decisions made by individuals, businesses, government and other organisations, and the environment in which they operate. The Standard Grade, Intermediate and Higher Course in Economics are concerned with the ways in which such choices about the use of resources are made and the implications which these choices have for individuals, organisations and society as a whole. It helps develop skills in interpreting, analysing and evaluating the processes of economic change and development in contemporary society, through the application of economic principles and ideas. The methodology of the Economics tutor encourages Economics exam candidates to think logically using deductive and inductive reasoning, to assess and evaluate various types of data and to weigh up the benefits and costs of alternative courses of action.

As a result, Economics exam candidates will gain a critical understanding of the many public and private decisions which affect the working of markets and influence the living conditions in Scotland, the United Kingdom, the European Union and the wider world today. It will also enable individuals to become better-informed citizens, producers and consumers who, as a result, will be able to make a greater contribution to society.

The study of economics at Higher level, which looks at both the world of business and the social environment, will provide a good basis for further study in general areas such as business, social studies and management, and for professional qualifications in law, accountancy, etc. It will also be of benefit to anyone contemplating a career in central or local government, commerce or industry.

The three Units of the Course reflect this rationale. Microeconomics (Higher) examines the basic economic problem of unlimited wants and limited resources and considers how the market mechanism promotes the efficient allocation of resources in accordance with the choices made by consumers and producers. The UK Economy (Higher) explores the macroeconomic environment within which market behaviour occurs. It pays particular attention to key economic variables such as inflation and unemployment and their effect on individuals and society. It also looks at the reasons for government economic policies and how they can affect the economic environment in which we live. Finally The International Economy (Higher) extends the coverage of the Course to ensure that it takes account of the increasingly global nature of economic events. It looks at the position of the UK in international economic terms and pays particular attention to the way in which the European Union affects economic events in the UK.
