This course enables students to gain an appreciation and understanding of major aspects of the New Zealand economy – employment, trade, inflation, economic growth and inequality. Students will be able to interpret and analyse statistical data on these aspects, as well as apply economic theory to them and describe the effects and implications of them. The course will include a selection from the standards listed below. Students will have the opportunity to complete AS 91403 Demonstrate understanding of macro-economic influences on the New Zealand economy. This is a Level 3 Achievement Standard worth 6 credits.
