THESE items are especially for those of you who are aiming high. Those of you who are determined to work really hard over the next 3 months to get that A or even A*.
If that's not you, don't try to read the following, which are advanced economics articles for true economists only............
From the Stephanomics blog, an excellent comparison of Greece's economic problems to the situation in the UK

and one discussing the recent letter from famous economists to newspapers about whether the government should cut spending or not:

Next is a very technical but important paper from the IMF (International Monetary Fund). It analyses macro policy before during and after the credit crunch, with some very interesting recommendations:

Finally "Econtalk" is an excellent weekly podcast about advanced economic topics. Listening to a few of these should give a serious boost to your economics.

You may have noticed a more serious tone to my posts recently. This is because we have got to the serious time of the academic year. Start working hard now or regret it when results arrive in August!
