IB Economics syllabus: Development Economics

New regulations in Zimbabwe will make it mandatory to households to use solar panels for heating water in order to save electricity of up to 400 megawatts per year. “Blackouts have dogged Zimbabwe, despite the fact that 60% of the population have no access to electricity. This has also hampered investment in what is an already fragile economy, the BBC’s Karen Allen reports.”

About the Author: EconDaddy IB Economics tutor

My name is Daniel Szekely and I work as an IB Economics tutor, examiner and teacher. Having earned an MA degree in Economics at the University of Aberdeen, I started my career as a financial analyst at Morgan Stanley, one of the largest investment banks of the world. Yet, despite the promising career prospects of the banking industry, I decided to make a larger social impact by becoming a teacher. Currently, I teach IB Economics at SEK Budapest International School and have been an examiner for over 8 years. I started EconDaddy as a simple blog to share great articles with my students and others taking IB Economics around the world to use for their commentaries. Being a practicing IB Economics tutor, I have first hand insight into the most common mistakes of students, so the EconDaddy blog now also provides exam and commentary writing tips.
