Identify in IB Economics

What your response needs

Name the item and, if requested, cite its location or value.

• The requested item only
• Evidence from the supplied material when relevant
• An unambiguous label or value

A worked economics example

Question: Identify the equilibrium price shown in the diagram.

An incomplete response: It is where the market balances.

A more complete response:

The equilibrium price is Pₑ, where the demand curve intersects the supply curve.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Giving a general definition instead of the requested item
• Ignoring units or diagram labels

Try it yourself

Read the question and its mark allocation before deciding how much detail to include. A response structure helps you organise your answer; it is not a script to memorise.
