Introduction is complete don't worry about that section. Primarily need help on the policies and addressing the future macroeconomic conditions. Please site all sources and change one of the Tax policies to a policy that affects government spending or the labor market. Discussion of recent macroeconomic trends: This discussion should address and expand upon the points that you made in your proposal. You should include one graph for each macroeconomic indicator you discuss (a minimum of three). These must be graphs you created yourself either in FRED or Excel. You should provide commentary regarding what these trends suggest about the state of our macroeconomy currently, and what you expect to happen going forward (in the next 6 – 18 months). You should support your analysis with direct references to the textbook, references to academic research, and references to credible news sources. Discussion of recent policy decisions that might affect future macroeconomic trends: In the final report, you will have to use the theories and models we learn throughout the semester to make an informed prediction of how these government policies will impact the macroeconomy (which will in turn influence the firm’s choice). This discussion should be supported by the macroeconomic models we have been learning in class. This section should also include a graph that you create – this graph should be similar to the type of graphs we have created in class. It should be fully labeled, and the economic intuition should be fully explained in a way that a non-expert audience understands. Recommendation to the firm. This should be your concluding section. You should summarize the points you made throughout the report and provide your final recommendation: “Expand operations in the next 6- 18 months” or “Do not expand operations.” Other Requirements: A minimum of three graphs that show recent trends in key economic variables. These must be generated by the student and cannot be copied from another source. A minimum of one graph that shows the expected impact of a policy change on the overall macroeconomy. This must also be generated by the student and cannot be copied from another source. You can use MS Paint or other programs to draw graphs and incorporate them into your report. These graphs should be fully labeled as well. DO NOT HAND-DRAW GRAPHS. A minimum of three explicit references to the assigned course textbook to provide theoretical support for your analysis. Provide a citation for these references (author, year, and the page number if using a direct quote) in the report text where the information is used. A minimum of two academic journal articles should be referenced. You should see what actual economists are predicting about the future of the economy. The more support you can provide for your discussion the better. Provide a citation for these references (author, year, and the page number if using a direct quote) on the page where you use the information and include the articles in the works cited page.
