    Assessment comments
    Subject: Economics

    Component: Internal assessment

    Portfolio D
    Commentary 1

    Criterion Marks Marks Comments


    awarded available

    A 3 3 Relevant, accurate and correctly labelled diagrams are included. All their
    explanations are provided in full, particularly that of the second diagram. The
    third diagram could perhaps have had a more inelastic demand curve, but the
    explanation is good, and so full marks are awarded.

    B 2 2 Economic terminology relevant to the chosen article is used appropriately


    throughout the whole commentary. Although acronyms are used for marginal
    private benefit and marginal social benefit, these terms are obviously understood.

    C 3 3 Relevant economic theory is applied throughout the commentary. The analysis


    is thorough, and the occasional theoretical comment does not detract from the
    effectiveness of the analysis in relation to the article. Full marks are awarded.

    D 3 3 The key concept of “intervention” is identified, and the link with the article is fully
    explained throughout the commentary. Full marks are awarded.

    E 3 3 The judgements are thoroughly supported by the article. The reasoning is


    effective and covers several different aspects of related theory with balance and
    understanding. Full marks are awarded.

    Commentary 2

    Criterion Marks Marks Comments


    awarded available

    A 3 3 Several relevant diagrams are included in the commentary. They are all accurate
    and correctly labelled. All the diagrams are fully explained and thus full marks
    are awarded.

    B 2 2 The terminology used throughout the commentary is relevant and appropriate for
    the chosen article. A few acronyms are used, but they are all explained in context.

    C 2 3 Relevant economic theory is applied throughout the commentary. The analysis is


    appropriate. However, at times, it is very theoretical and the use of quotes lessens
    the effectiveness. Also, certain concepts such as the multiplier and accelerator are
    not explained. Two marks are awarded.

    D 3 3 The key concept of “change” is identified, and the link between it and the article is
    well explained. Full marks are awarded.

    considered thoughtfully. Full marks are awarded.

    Commentary 3

    Criterion Marks Marks Comments


    awarded available

    A 3 3 One relevant, accurate and correctly labelled diagram is included. The diagram is
    explained fully, and no other diagram is necessary for this article.

    B 2 2 Relevant economic terminology for the article is used appropriately throughout


    the commentary. The terminology is thoroughly explained. Full marks
    are awarded.

    C 2 3 Relevant economic theory is applied to the article throughout the commentary.


    The analysis is appropriate. However, some of it lacks support and is rather
    theoretical, such as the effects on the cost of living from whiskey and the possible
    growth of infant industries. Thus, the effectiveness of the analysis for the article is
    lacking, and two marks are awarded.

    D 3 3 The key concept of “interdependence” is identified. The explanation of the link


    between this concept and the chosen article is fair (better than a partial attempt).
    Full marks are awarded.

    E 3 3 Judgements are made throughout the commentary and, despite the analysis
    being rather theoretical, the reasoning and evaluation are effective and well
    balanced. Three marks are awarded.
