THINK LIKE AN ECONOMIST

Welcome to TSR Economics Society. As usual for a society I will be keeping a members list here in this post by updating it regularly. I invite everyone to post economics related problems here so that our members might be able to help you out.

If anyone knows any link where there are important economics news, e-zines, past papers and markschemes post them here. I will review them and add them to this post.

Follow this link and apply to become a member (you don't have to give a reason, just leave it blank):

Well this one is ours, for A-level and below. I am adding you sim90 :tsr:

.

I personally never visit the university forum, so I wanted to have something like this here. Besides many people post problems in this forum, and the replies are lost as time passes ( I have some among them as well). This shouldnt happen. The hard work of the people shouldnt be wasted. The answers will all be under one roof. Join the society! I assure you that I will try my best to keep this running and help out people as much I can.

The AEA isn't as hard as people make out, definitely worth a go :smile:

The revisionguru.co.uk site is run by my school's head of Economics, thought it looked familiar!

These sites are pretty good generic ones
http://www.s-cool.co.uk/topic_index.asp?subject_id=11
www.tutor2u.net
http://economics.about.com (not exam related, but is good for developing economic thought)

If anyone is looking for a good revision guide, I'd recommend "Advanced Economics Through Diagrams" http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0199134294/qid=1135098505/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/026-8518784-0000426

Like it says, it shows you through diagrams, making it very easy to understand. You can basically teach yourself from this book, and it covers all exam boards (I think)

I'm not on commission, honest :biggrin:
