Teacher in Charge: Mr M. Tasneem.

This course is designed to develop a broad understanding of how individuals and groups:

  • choose to satisfy their wants by the allocation and management of resources in the context of the New Zealand economy
  • interact as consumers and producers in the market and the New Zealand economy.

The course of study consists of:

  • the role of producers in the economy and the effects on their output decisions (with the possibility of a trip to a factory to observe their production process)
  • the role of consumers in the economy and the influences on their demand (consumer choices, using scarcity and/or demand)
  • the interaction which occurs between producers and consumers in the markets and the New Zealand economy, including the role of the government
  • how a significant cultural or sporting event affects the New Zealand economy
  • the effect of current events on the New Zealand economy.
  • topical issues affecting NZ as well as the global economy.
