The Phillips Curve: Inflation, Unemployment, and the Expectations Trap
The Phillips curve showed a simple inflation-unemployment trade-off — until the 1970s destroyed it. A beginner-friendly guide to the original curve, expectations, the NAIRU, stagflation, and the post-COVID inflation debate. With worked calculations and exam-style practice questions.
The Solow Growth Model: Steady State, the Golden Rule, and Why Saving Doesn’t Cause Growth
Solow’s model proves that capital accumulation cannot generate sustained growth in living standards — and then declares that the thing which can is exogenous. A complete guide to the steady state, the Golden Rule, growth accounting, conditional convergence, and the East Asian growth debate.
Z-Scores and the Normal Distribution: A Plain-English Guide
A z-score is how many standard deviations a value sits from the mean — a universal ruler that lets you compare across any scale. The z = (x−μ)/σ formula, the 68–95–99.7 rule, the three-step method for “what percentage scored above X?”, and the direction error that catches everyone.
Null vs Alternative Hypothesis: How to Set Them Up Correctly
Set the hypotheses up wrong and the whole test answers the wrong question. The three rules that never change: hypotheses are about the population not the sample, the null always carries the equals sign, and direction is chosen before you see the data — plus why choosing one-sided after peeking is cheating.
The Central Limit Theorem, Explained Like You’re in a Hurry
Average enough independent things and the average follows a normal distribution — even when the individuals don’t. The three distributions students blur together, why the normal keeps appearing, how large n really needs to be, and why the CLT is the engine under every confidence interval and t-test.
Heteroskedasticity: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How to Fix It
Heteroskedasticity explained simply — your coefficients are still fine, but your standard errors are wrong. A beginner-friendly guide to what causes it, how to detect it with Breusch-Pagan and White tests, and how to fix it with robust standard errors and WLS. Includes the Preston curve case study and practice questions.
Instrumental Variables and Two-Stage Least Squares: Solving the Endogeneity Problem
Instrumental variables explained simply — why OLS gets it wrong, what a good instrument looks like, and how the Vietnam draft lottery revealed that military service actually hurts earnings. A beginner-friendly guide to IV and 2SLS with worked examples and practice questions.
Omitted Variable Bias: How to Predict the Direction Before You Run the Regression
The omitted variable bias formula, the sign table, and how to work out whether your coefficient is too big or too small before you touch the data. With worked examples from the returns-to-education literature.

Economics Made Simple — The Complete Bundle
The Complete Bundle brings together everything we have built for AP and Cambridge A-Level Economics students: the full 914-page supplementary textbook, a 450-question practice workbook with mark schemes, a rapid-revision flashcard deck, and 100 real-world case studies with expert analysis. Four products, one price — designed to take you from first principles to exam-ready.
Most students use the textbook to understand the theory, the practice questions to test themselves under timed conditions, and the flashcards in the final week before the exam. The case studies sit alongside both — every concept grounded in something that actually happened, from carbon pricing in Sweden to the 2008 financial crisis. It is the study system we wish we had when we were students.
