What you'll find here

The glossary covers the IB Economics key terms, each with the definition the syllabus expects, organised by unit and chapter.

SL and HL are filtered separately, so a student sees the vocabulary that applies to their own course.

Each entry gives the definition in the form the syllabus expects, with its chapter and its level.

  • Every key term, by unit, chapter and level
  • SL and HL filtered apart
  • The definition the course expects, term by term
