The policies of the federal government influence the outcomes of the various activities in that economy. When government policies change or unplanned events occur, the resulting economic events or activity will usually change. Listed below are several policies or events that affect the performance of the economy:
The federal government employs a budget plan over several fiscal years that results in significant increases in the national debt, with no relief or plans to deal with the problem.
The federal government enacts new tariffs and quotas on all imports.
The general public loses confidence in their leadership, in terms of their ability to manage the economy, especially in the area of job creation.
The federal government, in an effort to stimulate the economy, decreases taxes on all individuals except those earning over $250,000 per year.
The level of investment decreases because of a lack of confidence in the economy.
Interest rates are kept artificially low by the Federal Reserve for several years.
For each of the items above, describe what would be the likely outcomes in the economy. Use the appropriate tools of analysis, such as aggregate demand and aggregate supply where appropriate, to justify and explain your answer.

Good morning 🙂 I would like the following essay please 🙂
I am unable to add the information again, it is saying it’s not appropriate content, I will attach in a message so please let me know if it goes through and you’d like to accept, thank you!

For this assignment, you should use the information in the textbook and the information found on the official Department of Labor website, http://www.bls.gov/home.htm.
Unemployment is one of the major concerns that people have in today’s economy, since losing one’s job can be one of the most devastating events a person can experience. But what do the numbers actually mean? What is the actual state of the economy, in terms of its ability to generate jobs for its citizens?
Questions:
What is the labor force participation rate? What was the labor force participation rate in 2008? How has it changed since 2008 and what does this change imply for the state of the economy? Does the labor force participation rate effect the unemployment rates reported in the media?
How is unemployment measured and reported?
What is a discouraged worker? Are they included in the basic unemployment rate? Are they included in any measure of unemployment? How has the number of discouraged workers changed since 2008? How does the exclusion of the discouraged worker affect the basic unemployment rate reported in the media?
What is frictional unemployment? What is structural unemployment? What is cyclical unemployment? What economic policies should be used to deal with these types of unemployment? Which type is most prevalent in today’s economy?
Unemployment insurance is designed to help the unemployed. Do these benefits encourage or discourage a person from looking for work? How long should these benefits last?
Does the existence of unions help or hurt the overall economy and the employment rate? Why or why not?

Different countries have different economic policies in place. In addition, because of various other factors like geo-political issues, access to capital, public health infrastructure, political system, etc., their macroeconomic indicators and economic growth rates are different. In your final paper, respond to the following questions:
Report the following macroeconomic indicators for your country: GDP, economic growth rate, public debt, inflation rate (CPI, annual variation in %), policy interest rate, and trade balance.
Discuss the state of the economy of the country you selected. Make sure to discuss if the country is experiencing a recession or an expansion and if there is inflation or deflation in the economy.
Discuss the relationship between GDP, inflation, and unemployment as addressed by the AD-AS model and explore if this is the same relationship as explained by the Phillip’s Curve.
Recommend ONE policy to the central bank of the country, given the state of the economy.
Recommend ONE policy to the government of the country you selected, given the state of the economy.
Discuss the possible short-run and long-run implications of using the monetary and fiscal policies you prescribed in the previous questions.
Discuss the differences in the approach taken by a Classical economist versus a Keynesian economist in solving the macroeconomic issues of the country you selected.

Construct a graph showing supply and demand in the electronic dog feeder market, using Microsoft Excel.
How are the laws of supply and demand illustrated in this graph? Explain your answers.
What is the equilibrium price and quantity in this market?
Assume that the government imposes a price floor of $180 in the feeder market. What would happen in this market?
Assume that the price floor is removed and a price ceiling is imposed at $90. What would happen in this market?
Now, assume that the price of feeders drops by 50%. How would this change impact the demand for feeders? Explain your answer and reconstruct the graph developed in question one to show this change.
Assume that incomes of the consumers in this market increases. What would happen in this market? Explain your answer and reconstruct the graph developed in question one to show this change.
Assume that the number of sellers decreases in this market. What would happen in this market? Explain your answer and reconstruct the graph developed in question one to show this change.

Please find a Current Event Discussion on Recent Economic Policy
Interest rates have been increased 3 times last year and the first time in a few years. Unemployment is decreasing. These are all signs of growth. Although recently the experts are saying we have turned the corner and are not entering into a recession. Is this the goal of the FED? What tools are the current administration using to create growth or reduce the impact of a recession? Are they monetary or fiscal policy tools?
Some things to think about:
What actions are being taken?
What is the goal of the policy?
Is it a Monetary or Fiscal policy
Does the article hold up to your expert analysis?
The current event must be within the last 90 days.
Current events will be at least 3 -4 full paragraphs to receive credit. The assignment will consist of a summary of the article, Work Cite your information.

This is a project for students of macroeconomics. The project is intended to enhance critical thinking, research skills, writing skills, and student’s ability to apply concepts learned in class to real life situations.
This assignment is individual, however, it is okay if two or more students choose the same aggregate. Do not share your work with friends even if you are researching the same macro aggregate. Doing so will result to academic dishonesty and all involved will be awarded “0” (zero).
When economists forecast economic growth, they base their forecasts on what is going on key macro aggregates. Based on the aggregates, the economists can make conservative or progressive forecasts. Policy makers also determine which measures to implement depending on what is happening with key macro aggregates. That is, should they employ a contractionary or an expansionary policy? This assignment is intended to help you make a connection between theory and practice. By reviewing the aggregate of your choice and connecting that to related events and policy, you will attain a clearer picture of how thew economy functions.
Instructions:
The following are common macro aggregates:
inflation
Unemployment
GDP
Money Supply
Trade
Interest rates
Exchange rates
For your assignment, select one aggregate from the list. Collect data on that aggregate for the period 2015 to date. Ensure that your data are from a reliable source such as BLS, FRED, IMF/ World Bank, WTO, FED etc. Once you have collected data organize it (tabulate, graphs/ figures) and analyze for trends. In order to make meaning of trends break it down to quarterly and annual data. Examine changes from quarter to quarter and explain the final observed annual value. In addition, analyze the changes from year to year.
To explain the trends, conduct some research (literature review) to uncover events that could have occurred, and which could rationalize observed trends and changes. For instance, did the price of oil change? How could that have impacted prices and hence inflation? Were there changes in policy such as tariffs and quota restrictions? Can you attribute observed trade data to those changes? You get the idea?
For literature review, use credible journal articles (peer reviewed), credible websites (wall street journal, economist, Brookings, etc.), textbooks, and any other credible sources that you come across. Galileo/ Library should be your “friend”. When reviewing literature, take note of any policies implemented, it at all, and then using your observed data discuss why or why not such policies were (in) or appropriate. Be sure to include a brief summary of any policies that you came across.
Your paper should be 10-15 double spaced pages. Use APA style of writing. All sources of information must be cited in the text and included in your list of references. Before you start writing, review the rubric to ensure that you clearly understand all requirements for the paper including how it will be graded.
The paper should be uploaded by 11/30/2023.
