Finding good sources for the actual structure of the Economics Extended Essay is incredibly difficult and I'm getting a lot of conflicting info. Some sites say that you should include an "evaluation" section and a "Economic Theory" Section, the IB itself specifically says not to? Does anybody know where I could get an outline specifically for economics that is up-to-date, and not too broad like the general one from the IB? Thanks!

I need help!! I'm doing my Extended Essay in Economics and I chose to do it on the airline industry. I wanted to do it about price discrimination and how a specific airline uses it (How does TAP use (third degree) price discrimination in order to increase revenue?) I talked about when you book you're flights and such but my teacher said I wouldn't find enough info on it.. Also, I am now realising how hard it actually to research on this because all of the information I can find is too broad and general to all airlines. She told me I should do it on market structures, something along the line

Hey so I have an idea for my Extended Essay that I really, really like but I am afraid is too common. More detail below but the part that I am scared about is that it is to do with the corona virus. Will examiners be expecting everyone to do that and be bored of it? If combining the rest of my idea with the corona virus is not a good idea, any advice or suggestions would be great!

The manager of my football club (who I can c

Hey guys its my first time in this forum so just want to say sorry if I am doing this wrong. But for the Extended Essay I want to look at how I can use managerial economics (including costs, revenue, and profit from Theory of the Firm) to help a family business that started few years ago but I'm not too sure what I can focus on in terms of the main IB content so my research question is kinda general. I'm also kind of worried because my supervisor said this kind of topic is great but students rarely do it (only one has done it so far!). Unfortunately, she didn't say anything else... It's a

So I was wondering if the Extended Essay is marked for originality. I am thinking about the topic of my EE and I would like to investigate a market structure but I realised that this topic is commonly chosen by students. Would this mean that I will be graded less or that I am not allowed to do something too common?

Hi, im just starting my extended essay and I am trying to think of a topic. I am doing my EE in Economics and my supervisor said to do it on something that is happening locally. I live in Stockholm, Sweden, does anybody know of something that is happening/has happened here that I could do my essay on? Thanks!!
