With AS and A2 modules on the horizon, here is a presentation outlines an approach to demonstrating evaluation using the WEESTEPS acronym.
It is an approach that has struck a chord with us all during our Economics revision workshops. The presentation uses a macro topic to illustrate the approach… but WEESTEPS can be used for all evaluation-style questions especially those focusing on different forms of government intervention in markets.
