General economics resources :

[|Tutor2u] Economics a resource for students and teachers. Hundreds of pages of revision notes, links and a Discussion Forum. My absolute favourite!!!! Tutor2u news articles: A great source for portfolio articles

[|http://www.revisionguru.co.uk/]An Economics website packed full of facts and revision handouts. This is the site of Mr Steve Margetts, who is a teacher in the UK and a good friend of mine. Not only is he a fab teacher-but also a pretty cool guy, so look this site up and send him an email saying hi : E-mail Steve Margetts

[|Good for IGCSEs- from the Newton International School]

[] Is a new resource that students should find invaluable for IAs and EEs as it gives them access to over 2 million separate market research resources. I've used this for finding out market share data amongst other things.

[] One of the best site for supporting A Level Economics and Business Studies. Includes company facts and a virtual factory where students can apply their business studies theory. Also has a study skills section with advice, hints and tasks. Below is a list of the key sections of the site that you may like to have a look at: Biz/ed Internet Resources section - this is an extensive searchable and browsable catalogue of over 3,000 web sites. All have been checked for their quality and reliability.
