Real-World Examples

A searchable example bank for IB Economics revision and exam use

Find examples by topic, chapter, and level, then connect them more clearly to economic analysis.

Illustrative entry structure - this is not a real-world case

Connect an example to the economic argument

Topic → source and date → key facts → economic relevance.

  • Filter by unit, chapter and course level.
  • Check the source and the facts behind an example.
  • Explain how the example supports the concept in your answer.

How it works

  1. Sign in and select the topic you are revising.
  2. Read an example and its linked source.
  3. Practise using it in your own economic argument.
