CCEA AS-Level Economics 4410 Past Papers

The CCEA AS Level Economics Unit AS 1 (Markets and Market Failure) is an 80-mark, 90-minute examination structured into three distinct sections: short-answer and data calculations (Section A, 25 marks), a case study on NHS healthcare provision (Section B, 35 marks), and an extended evaluation essay choice (Section C, 20 marks). The paper strikes an even balance between quantitative skills (elasticity calculations, economic rent, index interpretation) and conceptual diagrammatic analysis (tax incidence, PPF shifts, positive consumption externalities).

The 2024 CCEA AS Economics examination series (AS 1: Markets and Market Failure & AS 2: Managing the National Economy) presents a balanced assessment across fundamental microeconomic and macroeconomic principles. Both papers follow CCEA's standard tripartite structure: short quantitative and definitional questions in Section A (25 marks), a data-response case study in Section B (35 marks), and a choice of extended 20-mark evaluative essays in Section C. The papers emphasise accurate diagrammatic analysis (PPF pivots, wage differentials, price elasticity extremes, SRAS shifts, and Keynesian output gaps) and rigorous data manipulation.

The 2023 CCEA GCE Economics AS assessment suite comprises two 80-mark papers: AS 1 (Markets and Market Failure) and AS 2 (Managing the National Economy). The papers balance accessible foundational definitions and quantitative calculations with rigorous diagrammatic analysis and high-tariff evaluative essays.
