This assignment will allow you to chose a current event and analyze it with the macro tools and models we developed in class during the semester. It is a short analysis (3-4 pages, 1.5 space, font size 12) with a focus macroeconomic policy. You can pick any topic we covered in class.
i) Please find an article related to Macroeconomics [The choice of your source (your article) is very important. It has to be directly related to what we covered in class and macro theory. Investment, stock market analysis, financial analysis pieces, op-eds or blogs from financial market analysts are not good choices. Going over sources like the Economist, WSJ, New York Times, FT, etc… will give you many options.]
ii) Connect it to the material we covered in class, using equations, graphs and our models. Utilizing at least one relevant graph is required. [This is important, along with the choice of your source. These two will shape your grade. Definitely include at least one graphical analysis.]
iii) Put your final project together in a short analysis format (3-4 pages, 1.5 space, font size 12) – similar to the articles you used in your group presentation and your weekly analysis – but in more depth.
