Economics Essay Competition 2022

Our Upper Sixth Form Economics students spent the summer writing excellent essays for our annual Essay Competition. Across a wide range of titles, they pushed the boundaries of their Economic understanding and learnt new academic skills which will be invaluable beyond A Level. Some of the judges’ favourite essays came from Harry, Noah and Shreyan as they deftly explored topics such as economics with respect geographical location, Covid-19s Inflationary impact and Africa’s economic development.

This year’s winning entry came from Nico and asked the questions: “Should Amazon pay people more? What would happen if they immediately increased every worker’s salary by twenty percent?”. The judges were impressed by how he balanced a range of economic theory with ambitious political policy thinking and backed it all up with many well-referenced sources- well done Nico!
