Course Information
This yearlong course is an introduction and survey to both microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics introduces
students to the cost–benefit analysis that is the economic way of thinking. This analysis is used to understand smaller segments of the
economy—specifically, consumers and producers—as they interact in output markets and resource markets, and to understand the
government’s impact on these specific economic units. Macroeconomics emphasizes economic principles as applied to the economy
as a whole. Topics discussed will reflect the material included in the booklet AP Economics Course Description from the College
Board. Lessons include an analysis of national income and its components, economic indicators, inflation and unemployment, money
and banking, stabilization policies, and the United States and world trade.
A major portion of this class will be creating, accurately labels, interpreting, and analyzing common economic charts and graphs.
Students should expect to be able to create and read line graphs well.
Each student is expected to take the AP Macroeconomics and AP Microeconomics Exam that is administered in May. Successful
achievement on the AP Exam may allow the student to earn college credit.
