These notes treat of the Leaving Certificate Higher Level Economics course. The coverage is as short and concise as possible to aid the student's learning. It was necessary to omit certain topics such as population economics and development, however all omissions concern material which is not central to the course or an understanding of economics. As such, these notes form the minimum course of economics required to get an A1 in the Irish Leaving Certificate, or at least to do very well. It is important to note that these notes should be utilised in conjunction with past papers and past marking schemes in order to maximise examination performance.
