While over the long run, the economy grows about 2 to 3% per year on average, over the shorter term, the economy goes through business cycles. Think about the growth rate of GDP, the inflation rate, and the unemployment rate over the last 12 quarters. Once you’ve looked at the data, can you draw conclusions about the state of the economy? Would you describe the economy as booming, recovering, or in recession during the last few years? Why? Use the AD-AS model to illustrate this graphically. Which curve do you think caused the change? Explain your reasoning. Remember to cite your sources according to the APA Citation style.
Include your textbook/course material in your references., and then other academically reliable sources.
Avoid using any sources ending with “pedia” as reference

Tips on Designing an Infographic
Build an infographic and attach a written summary for items which cannot fit on the infographic. An information graphic (infographic) is a visual representation of a data set or instructive material. Infographics take a large amount of information in text (or numerical form) and then condense it into a combination of images and text highlights. This modern data transformation technique allows viewers to quickly grasp essential insights about a specific subject. Review this ten-minute video (link below) to see what elements go into creating an effective infographic. It will provide some background on how to complete your assignment for this week.

Hello, I need help with this assignment. I attached the assignment details and topic proposal.
Here are additional details:
Happy Spring Break! I am writing to provide some additional details about the 2nd writing assignment (outline and data description).
1. The assignment is due on March 13th, and the expected length is 2-3 pages.
2. Basically, this assignment builds upon your assignment 1 and adds new stuff. Specifically, you need:
A clear introduction (1-2 paragraphs) describing your trade issue. You should clearly state your research question (E.g., how does X affect Y?), and then explain why it is interesting/worth studying. Tell us how you plan to study the question, and relate your question with the theories you’ve learned in class. Think of this introduction as the intro paragraphs in your final draft–if you do well this time, you can just use the content for your first draft and final draft!
A draft of your data section: this time, the expectation is higher than in assignment 1. You need to:Tell us the data source(s) you are using, the years of data you plan to use, and the variables you will use.
What is your Y variable? What is your X variable? What control variables (on the right hand side of the regression model) do you plan to use?
Plot your data: You can do the plot however you want (Excel, R, Stata, etc.). For this assignment, we won’t put too much emphasis on the plot. We will, however, run 1 or 2 workshops (after the spring break) on using RStudio to do empirical analysis, and we will have a higher expectation about your plot in assignment 3.
You can plot the relationship between X and Y using your data. Alternatively, you can plot the Y variable (e.g., Mexico’s export value of automobiles to the US) across time. Plotting the data gives us a better understanding of your dataset.
Your regression model: clearly write out your regression equation: Y=b0+b1x1+b2x2+……+error term. Tell us what’s your y, x1, x2 variables. Also tell us how you plan to interpret the results: e.g., what does b1 represent? how are you going to interpret the coefficients?
For this assignment, you don’t need to actually run the regression and produce the results (yet)–although you are welcome to do so if you want. What we really care about is that you have a well-built regression model, and you clearly describe the variables and the coefficients.
You can refer to the lecture slides on January 18th (Intro to Writing Project) for more details. Page 16 to 22 of the slides have the relevant information.
Here is the feedback I got from the topic proposal:
In terms of data sources: you listed several data sources. It’ll be great if you can also tell us which years of data you’d like to use. Also, you mentioned you will use “Restrictions and obstacles on the importation and exportation of cement, such as tariffs and trade barriers” as one of your variables. You can tell us what trade barriers, or what tariffs are you planning to study–be more specific about it.

Abstract：（1 page）
Introduction: background information, purpose of your study, and claims for significance （2 pages）
I only have topic Semiconductor Ors. I don’t have any instruction for this project. You need to give me the idea of purpose of your study and claims for significance, I need to confirm if your point is ok.
You can give me 2-3 idea, we can confirm together before your start writing.

MERGE 2 DATASETS PLEASE.
I require assistance in consolidating multiple datasets within STATA. Specifically, one file comprises merged data from 2015, 2018, and 2021, while another file details the Variable A4A (ethnicity). This variable is present in the datasets for the years 2015, 2018, and 2021.
A4A_new_w appears like this in the PUBLIC DATASET:
A4A_new_w (8) Ethnicity
Measurement Level: Scale
Column Width: 8 Alignment: Right
Print Format: F2
Write Format: F2
Value Label
1 While Alone NH
2 Non-White
But the restricted data has this outcome:
A4A (11) [ETHNICITY]
Measurement Level: Nominal
Column Width: 8 Alignment: Right
Print Format: F2
Write Format: F2
Value Label
1 White non-Hispanic
2 Black non-Hispanic
3 Hispanic (alone or in combination)
4 Asian/Pacific Islander non-Hispanic
5 Other non-Hispanic (American Indian, Other, 2+ ethnicities)
Upon requesting the restricted data file, I received the following instructions: “The variables you requested for 2015-2021 are consistent across all NFCS waves from 2009 to 2021. They can be appended to the NFCS dataset using the NFCSID indicator.”
My objective is to ensure that the datasets for 2015, 2018, and 2021 accurately reflect various ethnicities, rather than simplifying them to “white” or “non-white.”
Should you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Pricing strategy varies significantly across different market structures of perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly and monopoly which are complex. As discussed in detail in your textbook, the assessment of market structure is conducted on the basis of
intensity of competition, depending on the number of firms in the industry,
homogeneity of products, evaluated by the extent of substitutability of a firm product by the products of its rivals,
barriers to entry, estimated by the complexities and obstacles confronting potential firms from entering the industry,
information asymmetry, assessed by the degree of availability of knowledge of price to buyers.
Develop a paper detailing an analysis of market structures and relating pricing strategies that are suitable for each of these structures. Furthermore, include a real world example of pricing strategy for a specific company by identifying its market structure.
This research paper must be documented in Microsoft Word, APA formatted, and includes at least three scholarly peer reviewed articles.
The paper is required to be about 10 double spaced pages. This paper automatically will be submitted to “Turnitin.com”

Small mistakes are the stepping stones to large failures. How might this saying apply to the theory of marginal analysis (discussed in Chapters 1 & 2 of your textbook)? In your responses, provide an example of a seemingly small mistake with large consequences.
