Glossary — every key term

About this CIE 9708 Economics glossary

Every key term in the Cambridge International (CIE / CAIE) AS & A Level Economics 9708 course — 522 of them across all 53 chapters — defined in the language the syllabus uses and grouped by the chapter that teaches it. Every entry is given in both English and 简体中文.

Definitions earn marks in their own right. A Paper 2 or Paper 4 answer that opens by defining the term in the question banks its AO1 knowledge marks before any analysis starts, and several data-response parts pay a mark for the definition alone. Search for a term, switch to A–Z when you are revising alphabetically or to By chapter when you are working through a unit, and print the list to test yourself away from a screen.
