Writing a Critical Analysis Essay

Critical analysis is used in economics to evaluate an argument or position in order to increase the reader’s understanding of it. Critical analysis is subjective writing because it expresses the writer’s opinion or evaluation of an issue. The goal of your essay is to provide information, interpretation, and evaluation which will help clarify the issue for your readers. The interpretation will explain the issue and requires that you have a correct understanding of it. The evaluation will discuss your opinions concerning the issue and present valid justification for them.
A critical analysis essay is prepared in two steps.
The first step is to identify and understand the issue.
1. Identify the issue you want to discuss.
2. Consult reference materials (textbooks, online sources, other books, etc.) to understand material that is unfamiliar to you.
The second step is to write the essay.
3. Make an outline that includes the issue you will discuss, your premise, arguments favoring your position and arguments opposing it.
4. Gather evidence in support of your position. Evidence can include theoretical propositions, empirical results and/or the opinions of recognized authorities.
