This theme 3 Edexcel essay plans have been invaluable to my revision. The content of these plans have been tailored specifically to fulfill demands of the specification. Whilst I personally use a 2 paragraph structure with however points in my essay in the exams, I like to write 2-4 paragraphs in these plans to provide choice in what content you can build up upon, either contextually or theoretically (in terms of economic analysis). These plans are very example based and/or article driven, as the content/theory is rather easier to apply with given examples provided.
These plans specifically are more unique to my general plans and are very brief pointers of ideas you can use for analysis and evaluation when writing a variety of economic essays for theme 3.
This is a document of topics that generally come across as challenging in Theme 4.
This can be personalized to meet your own needs, and the content can be changed to be more specific in terms of the economic ideas that are harder to revise.
This overall, did focus my revision over the summer, allowing me to achieve an A* in my Paper 2 Edexcel Economics Exam, and this would be a useful resource for quickly summarising harder content in later periods of revision for upcoming exams/ mock exams.
These essay plans are for the developing and emerging economies chapter in Edexcel Economics A: Theme 4, focusing on 2 specific questions in detail:
Whether aid is important factor of development
Whether aid should be sent to developing countries
These essay plans are very article driven, led by context of applied economics and politics, in which can be applied to many economical theories within the emerging and developing economics chapter. This provides a wider insight to the bigger context of aid, from an arguably multi-disciplinary perspective.
In Theme 4 Edexcel Economics
Developing and Emerging Economies:
I chose Nigeria, as my developing country, in where i explored their strengths and weaknesses, summarised a few articles on Nigeria, for economic context, along with a detailed range of statistics of Nigeria to present a strong essay.

This is a simplistic market structures memory map covering how to fill the scope of an essay using market structures. It also reflects how easy basing advantages and disadvantages of perfect competition and oligopoly (for example) from their characteristics are, rather than finding very specific pointers that are completely unique for each and every market structure, which are often quite challenging to recall and revise from.

Overall, it serves very useful in covering topics from, Market structures/failure/contestability
