ECO306 Dr. Berdell: Macroeconomic Outlook and Theory Review
I) Topic
Present your analysis of the near-term prospects for the US economy. Which factors and policies will be the most important determinants of the future course of the economy? Forecasts of the economy are always based on theoretical and methodological presuppositions; hence this paper calls for your reasoned personal opinion. To construct and support that opinion you will need to identify and discuss the relevant data as well as set out and justify the theoretical perspective from which you are viewing the data. Your choice of which theoretical perspective(s) to adopt will likely depend upon the type of problem you are analyzing.
The following section presents the criteria by which papers will be assessed. Section III emphasizes the importance of proper references and avoiding plagiarism. Section IV sets out a variety of important variables to consider and some sources where the data and associated commentary may be found. Section V discusses how you can use the Keynesian macro-econometric FairModel.
II Evaluation Criteria
1. Clarity of Forecast and Cyclical Positioning
a. Is there a clear forecast table in the appendix and does the paper make good use of it?
b. Has the economy been expanding/contracting?
c. What are the chances that it is presently at a turning point?
2. Identification and Depth of Sources
a. Are sources acknowledged and properly cited? Does the bibliography or list of references coherently and consistently document these sources?
b. Is there a mix of sources from original gov. releases, commentary from the press, and academic theories and research?
3. Coverage and Interrelation of Sectors
a. Is there coverage of:
i. leading-coincident indicators
ii. labor market conditions
iii. GDP growth and its components
iv. indicators of inflation and borrowing costs
v. productivity and profitability measures
vi. exchange rates and external linkages
b. How clearly and concretely are developments in these parts of the economy are interrelated?
4. Use of Competing Theories, Models and Forecasts
a. Are the contending theoretical approaches covered in the text considered?
b. Are additional required/recommended sources utilized?
c. Are private or public sector forecasts presented?
d. Are FairModel or other model results considered?
e. Are the structure and assumptions of the Fairmodel presented?
5. Cohesion, Coherence and Innovation of the Analysis
a. Does the work elaborate a consistent thesis or does each section seem detached and without a unifying theme? It is clearly and well written?
b. Are there innovative aspects of the analysis or its presentation?
III) Length and Proper References
The paper should contain 6-10 pages of text, double spaced. You may either insert or attach at the end a variety of tables and graphs you think important. These tables and graphs must be numbered and discussed in the text. Never attach or insert an obj ...

ECO106 Dr. Berdell: Course Paper On:
Recent US Macroeconomic Performance and Prospects I) Topic and Generic Outline
In this paper you systematically summarize the material you have been reading in the newspapers and online about the US economy. You will have read different authors, banks and blogs all of which present a particular view of the near-term prospects (or outlook) for the US economy. Which factors and policies seem like they will be the most important determinants of the future course of the economy?
You should note carefully the two quarter period that will be your “forecast period”. It will be posted on D2L.
This is a generic outline. It is typical for the economic outlook papers written by banks and other institutions year in and year out. You should deviate from it in order to emphasize issues that are especially important right now or to accommodate one or two issues that caught your interest and you want to emphasize. You could reorder the material and insert a section or two. You obviously can’t write about everything that I mention in the generic outline, but you should say something that speaks to the major headings: Labor, Demand, Financial Markets, Supply and International.
I) Introduction: Where is the US economy in the cycle? (Starting an expansion? Ending an expansion? When was the last “turning point” of the US economy?) Are the forecasts for the US economy split between optimists and pessimists, or do they all seem to say pretty much the same thing? What growth rate do you think is likely for the US economy in the forecast period? (This will be based on your reading and synthesis of professional forecasts.) What are the key issues that you want to draw special attention to in the sections that follow?
II) Labor Market Developments: What has been happening to the growth of jobs and wages? (Strong? Weak?) What are forecasters expecting? What about unemployment and participation rates? Are there some other important things about the labor market you encountered that you want to note?
III) Demand. The GDP report, especially table two “Contributions to GDP growth”, will tell you exactly which sources of demand have accounted for recent growth. The Atlanta FRB GDPNow forecast (or Nowcast) will tell you what seems to happening right now. The Dismal Scientist will also do this and forecast into the future. The forecast sources document on D2L has additional sources. Have you read anything about why particular components of spending (C, I, G, NX) have been weak or strong? You may want to say that you will come back to some of them later. (For instance, NX net exports reappear later in this generic outline.) Fiscal Policy affects spending directly through G and affects consumption via taxes.
IV) Financial Markets and the FRB. What has FRB monetary policy been and what is it expected to be in the near future? What have some important interest rates been and how are they expected to change? ...

Module 3 - OutcomesFiscal Policy Government Expenditures and Re.docxannandleola
This document provides an overview of Module 3 which covers fiscal policy, including government expenditures and revenues, the budget, and the national debt. The module learning outcomes are to assess fiscal policy's impacts on the economy, understand the federal budget components, discuss the national debt and its consequences, and make decisions about reducing the budget deficit and stimulating economic recovery. The case study requires analyzing the major sources of government revenue/expenditures, discussing the national debt, and making choices to reduce the deficit. The SLP involves analyzing fiscal policy's effects on an organization. Discussion topics include U.S. tax policy and the fiscal cliff.
FIN 340 Module Six Journal Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: This journal activity is private between you and the instructor. This assignment will allow you to assess the impact of news on stocks and bonds. News
can affect stock and bond prices in significant ways. This is because news disseminates into the market at different speeds and with different levels of
importance. As investors, you need to think about how information flows through market participants and into securities. Surprise news can jolt the market up
or down, whereas gradual dissemination can result in a slow buildup or deterioration in prices/yields. Additionally, market participants sometimes build
expectations beforehand, and prices react differently than people expected because the news did not meet or exceed expectations. All of these dynamics can
supply important information to apply to an investor’s portfolio decisions.
Prompt: Complete both of the following scenarios:
1) Choose a stock from list below:
International Business Machines Corporation (IBM)
The Coca-Cola Company (KO)
Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMY)
Oracle Corporation (ORCL)
3M Company (MMM)
Baxter International, Inc. (BAX)
Big Lots, Inc. (BIG)
Netflix, Inc. (NFLX)
Akamai Technologies, Inc. (AKAM)
General Electric Company (GE)
Then, go to Yahoo! Finance or another website and find a news article that you believe would impact the company’s stock price.
Calculate the return of the chosen stock for:
The two weeks prior to the news
The day of the news
The two weeks after the news
Explain how the actual impact of the news on the stock price aligned with your initial expectation after reading the news article.
2) Choose a significant economic report (unemployment, GDP, etc.) or Federal Reserve Open Market Committee announcement.
https://finance.yahoo.com/
Then, use Yahoo! Finance to research the historical pricing of the CBOE 10 year treasury yield (symbol: ^TNX). Calculate the percentage change for:
The 2 weeks prior to the news
The day of the news
The 2 weeks after the news
Explain how the actual impact of the news on the bond yield aligned with your initial expectation after reading the news article. Be sure to show your work to
get full credit for these calculations.
Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Calculate the return of the chosen stock for the two weeks prior to the news, the day of the news, and the two weeks after the news. Show your work to
support your response.
II. Explain whether the news article had the impact on the stock price that you expected.
III. Calculate the percentage change of the CBOE 10 year treasury yield for the two weeks prior to the news, the day of the news, and the two weeks after
the news. Show your work to support your response.

ECO 306 Final Project I Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The first final project for this course is the creation of an informative presentation. The presentation will analyze U.S. interest rate behavior over a 10- to 15-year
period during the last 50 years. Through your research, you will examine economic trends and risks, and the impact of monetary policy on interest rates.
This presentation will provide an opportunity for you to develop an understanding of interest rate behavior. By analyzing a sufficient period of time, you will
identify trends and changes in interest rates and witness the impact that key economic events have on interest rate determination. In doing this, you will
develop an appreciation of the relationship between policy targets and market factors, which impact economic activity. The final product will be submitted in
Module Three.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Explain the determinants and behavior of interest rates as they relate to markets
Analyze the relationship between monetary policy and the economy for informing responsible business decision making
Prompt
For this final project, create a PowerPoint presentation of 8–10 slides analyzing U.S. interest rate behavior over a 10- to 15-year period during the last 50 years.
You will access information in the Federal Reserve Economic Database (FRED) and create a presentation that includes speaker notes and visual representations
of your findings.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Overview: Define the specific interest rates and time period that you are analyzing, and explain why you chose them.
II. Interest Rates
A. Explain interest rate trends over the time period and whether they have been high or low by historical standards.
B. Using FRED tools, visually illustrate changes in interest rates during the time period.
C. Describe economic risk factors that have impacted interest rates in the time period and what kind of impact they had. Consider bankruptcies,
financial crises, geopolitical factors, and so on.
D. Describe underlying economic conditions that impacted the activity of these interest rates during the time period.
III. Monetary Policy
A. Discuss the impact of interest rate changes on general business decision-making. Consider expanding or contracting operations, deciding to
undertake or postpone additions of capital (i.e., increasing productive capabilities), or increasing or decreasing inventories.
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/
B. Explain the causal relationship between the federal funds rate and market rates of interest.

ECO 500 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of an economic analysis recommendation paper.
This course is an integral part of your journey toward a better understanding of the economy and of how the business you work for fits into it. The manager who
excels at his or her job is able to make the connection between general theory and specific application. Your final project provides you with the opportunity to
practice and develop these skills. In this course, you will learn about economic principles—supply and demand, production and costs, market structures—and see
how they apply to real-world situations. You will also learn about economic forecasting and tools used in strategic decision making. Being able to see the big
picture and having the skills of economic analysis will help you become more effective as a manager. Although there are several general principles that hold in
most organizations, such as trade-offs in the use of resources and customer budget constraints, the circumstances in which these principles apply are unique.
In this project, you will take on the role of an economic analyst at a company. An executive at the company has asked you to research an issue that affects your
organization and recommend a solution. Choose from one of the case studies listed below and research a given issue that affects the organization, determine the
issue’s relationship to economics, and report on your analysis and recommendation. This assessment requires you to understand the big-picture context of a
question, narrow down to a specific statement or set of statements to research, and present your findings.
You may encounter additional companies\case studies within your ECO 500 Case Study CoursePack. However, please disregard them and ONLY focus on the
following:
- American Airlines
- Microsoft Corporation
- Heinz Corporation
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three, Five, and Seven. The final product will be submitted in Module Nine.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Apply economic theory to real-world problems facing organizations for identifying relationships and root causes
Recommend appropriate economic solutions to business problems for promoting organizational goals
Translate economic principles and findings effectively to diverse professional audiences for promoting informed decision making
Determine how the industry market structure and the U.S. economic system influence strategic business decision making
Analyze economic data through application of mathematical and statistical concepts for informing economic decision making

This is a combined interview and short research paper. You are first required to interview a health care worker and ask them to identify and discuss solutions to a perceived health care issue in their field. Then, you will research and discuss this issue and proposed solutions.
The paper should be at least 850 words. Use APA or MLA Style for your paper format. For assistance with this, reference the
Citation Style Guide
developed for the Stafford Library.
Part I: Interview
This portion of Paper 1 will be a written report based on your interview of an individual who works in the health care system. (This person could be a direct caregiver, such as a physician, nurse, therapist, dentist, pharmacist, or chiropractor, or it could be someone who works as a medical secretary, hospital administrator, or in medical billing.) This interview can be accomplished either in person or by phone.
Clearly state the worker’s job description, the type of facility or organization in which he or she works, a summary of his or her training and experience, whether her or she performs administrative duties or are involved in finances, and whether he or she provides direct patient care or works closely with other care professionals.
Elicit this individual’s overall perceptions of and general satisfaction with our current health care system and the facility where they work. Ask him or her to identify a key issue or concern, either with our health care system or in his or her particular setting, and the solutions this worker would propose to address this particular issue.
Interview part is done
Alanna Falk is a Medical office manager for an endocrinologist.
She has a bachelor’s degree in business administration and is a trained medical assistant for over twenty years.
She has direct contact with the three providers in her office as well as the patients on a daily basis.
She performs the administrative aspect of the office and fills in where needed.
Overall she enjoys her office but at times feel that it is overwhelming with the amount of patients and being her doctor is one of two in the area for this specialty.
One problem that she is having is getting the patients to get onboard with the use of technology to simplify and reduce the amount of time spent filling paperwork out to include the cost in staff printing, ink and filing space. This often delays the patients getting in the back office to see the physicians on time even after they are checked in on time and it throws the whole schedule off for the day.
She would like to go paperless as possible and being that their scheduling team gets their information for the most part over the phone she would like to utilize tablets or a computer program that will help them become more efficient in the practice and maintain patient privacy.
Part II: Discussion
Elaborate and discuss the health care issue identified by your interviewee, demonstrating your understanding of both the problem raised and their prop.

Use the Table from the Colloquium Study that links: Hypotheses, Variable Definition, and Measures (Survey Questions) as a model.
NOTE: You do NOT have to develop a Likert scale questions (unless one makes sense for your study).
Develop your own version of this for at least 2-3 survey questions or interview questions YOU will ask for you Draft and Final Research Design assignment.
In other words, and just to be clear, pick a question that would work for you. The Likert scale question below is just an example of a question I used to measure one variable. You need to pick a question that will work for you - it will measure your variables in your hypotheses.
If you don’t want to mess with formatting a table for this assignment (keep in mind you may want to for your Draft and Final Research Design assignment) you can just do it bulleted, for example:
Hypotheses: Policy actors within a coalition will show substantial consensus on deep core and policy core beliefs, less so on secondary aspects.
Concept Definition: Deep core beliefs: “General normative and ontological assumptions about human nature…the proper role of government vs. markets in general…” (Sabatier and Weible 2007).
Measures (Survey Questions):
“How liberal or conservative do you consider yourself to be on fiscal policy?” (Likert scale 1-5): 1) strongly disagree, 2) disagree, 3) neutral, 4) agree, 5) strongly agree
“How liberal or conservative do you consider yourself to be on social policy?” (Likert scale 1-5): 1) strongly disagree, 2) disagree, 3) neutral, 4) agree, 5) strongly agree

ECO 500 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of an economic analysis recommendation paper.
This course is an integral part of your journey toward a better understanding of the economy and of how the business you work for fits into it. The manager who
excels at his or her job is able to make the connection between general theory and specific application. Your final project provides you with the opportunity to
practice and develop these skills. In this course, you will learn about economic principles—supply and demand, production and costs, market structures—and see
how they apply to real-world situations. You will also learn about economic forecasting and tools used in strategic decision making. Being able to see the big
picture and having the skills of economic analysis will help you become more effective as a manager. Although there are several general principles that hold in
most organizations, such as trade-offs in the use of resources and customer budget constraints, the circumstances in which these principles apply are unique.
In this project, you will take on the role of an economic analyst at a company. An executive at the company has asked you to research an issue that affects your
organization and recommend a solution. Choose from one of the case studies listed below and research a given issue that affects the organization, determine the
issue’s relationship to economics, and report on your analysis and recommendation. This assessment requires you to understand the big-picture context of a
question, narrow down to a specific statement or set of statements to research, and present your findings.
You may encounter additional companies\case studies within your ECO 500 Case Study CoursePack. However, please disregard them and ONLY focus on the
following:
- American Airlines
- Microsoft Corporation
- Heinz Corporation
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three, Five, and Seven. The final product will be submitted in Module Nine.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Apply economic theory to real-world problems facing organizations for identifying relationships and root causes
Recommend appropriate economic solutions to business problems for promoting organizational goals
Translate economic principles and findings effectively to diverse professional audiences for promoting informed decision making
Determine how the industry market structure and the U.S. economic system influence strategic business decision making

This is a combined interview and short research paper. You are fir.docxEvonCanales257
This is a combined interview and short research paper. You are first required to interview a health care worker and ask them to identify and discuss solutions to a perceived health care issue in their field. Then, you will research and discuss this issue and proposed solutions.
The paper should be at least 850 words. Use APA or MLA Style for your paper format. For assistance with this, reference the
Citation Style Guide
developed for the Stafford Library.
Part I: Interview
This portion of Paper 1 will be a written report based on your interview of an individual who works in the health care system. (This person could be a direct caregiver, such as a physician, nurse, therapist, dentist, pharmacist, or chiropractor, or it could be someone who works as a medical secretary, hospital administrator, or in medical billing.) This interview can be accomplished either in person or by phone.
Clearly state the worker’s job description, the type of facility or organization in which he or she works, a summary of his or her training and experience, whether her or she performs administrative duties or are involved in finances, and whether he or she provides direct patient care or works closely with other care professionals.
Elicit this individual’s overall perceptions of and general satisfaction with our current health care system and the facility where they work. Ask him or her to identify a key issue or concern, either with our health care system or in his or her particular setting, and the solutions this worker would propose to address this particular issue.
Interview part is done
Alanna Falk is a Medical office manager for an endocrinologist.
She has a bachelor’s degree in business administration and is a trained medical assistant for over twenty years.
She has direct contact with the three providers in her office as well as the patients on a daily basis.
She performs the administrative aspect of the office and fills in where needed.
Overall she enjoys her office but at times feel that it is overwhelming with the amount of patients and being her doctor is one of two in the area for this specialty.
One problem that she is having is getting the patients to get onboard with the use of technology to simplify and reduce the amount of time spent filling paperwork out to include the cost in staff printing, ink and filing space. This often delays the patients getting in the back office to see the physicians on time even after they are checked in on time and it throws the whole schedule off for the day.
She would like to go paperless as possible and being that their scheduling team gets their information for the most part over the phone she would like to utilize tablets or a computer program that will help them become more efficient in the practice and maintain patient privacy.
Part II: Discussion
Elaborate and discuss the health care issue identified by your interviewee, demonstrating your understanding of both the problem raised and their prop.

Use the Table from the Colloquium Study that links: Hypotheses, Variable Definition, and Measures (Survey Questions) as a model.
NOTE: You do NOT have to develop a Likert scale questions (unless one makes sense for your study).
Develop your own version of this for at least 2-3 survey questions or interview questions YOU will ask for you Draft and Final Research Design assignment.
In other words, and just to be clear, pick a question that would work for you. The Likert scale question below is just an example of a question I used to measure one variable. You need to pick a question that will work for you - it will measure your variables in your hypotheses.
If you don’t want to mess with formatting a table for this assignment (keep in mind you may want to for your Draft and Final Research Design assignment) you can just do it bulleted, for example:
Hypotheses: Policy actors within a coalition will show substantial consensus on deep core and policy core beliefs, less so on secondary aspects.
Concept Definition: Deep core beliefs: “General normative and ontological assumptions about human nature…the proper role of government vs. markets in general…” (Sabatier and Weible 2007).
Measures (Survey Questions):
“How liberal or conservative do you consider yourself to be on fiscal policy?” (Likert scale 1-5): 1) strongly disagree, 2) disagree, 3) neutral, 4) agree, 5) strongly agree
“How liberal or conservative do you consider yourself to be on social policy?” (Likert scale 1-5): 1) strongly disagree, 2) disagree, 3) neutral, 4) agree, 5) strongly agree

Abstract
The Relation between Heredity and Suicidal Behavior has many different experiments to use as examples. Some say that most individuals inherit the suicidal behavior and other does not. This paper will examine different experiments on the outcome of this topic and what might be influenced by genes that might run in a family. Then again there are the other factors that might show the influence of other suicidal behaviors. The outcome will provide different articles that will provide information on the behavior characteristics of suicidal behavior and what the interpersonal psychology theory of suicidal behavior just might be.

The Relation between Heredity and Suicidal Behavior
Introduction
The paper will focus on examining the relation between heredity and suicidal behavior and also look into the interpersonal psychology theory of suicidal behavior.
The paper will seek to affirm that suicidal behavior is influenced by genes that run in the family lineage and as such it could be inherited. Various theories can be used to explain the relationship between hereditary and suicidal behavior.
One these theories are Interpersonal psychology theory of suicidal behavior.
This theory provides
that, acquired capability, belongingness and burdensome are the 3 main determinants of suicidal behavior.
The paper will also provide articles review on the interpersonal psychology theory of suicidal behavior.
The Research questions
This paper is guided by the research question; what does the research show about the relation between heredity and suicidal behavior. This will help in formulating the best research methods and topics for the study.

Topic 1: Colorectal Cancer Screening
A 47-year-old man presents to your clinic for a routine physical. He considers himself to be “fairly healthy” and doesn’t routinely go to the doctor. His last physical was five years ago. In reviewing his chart, you see that his BMI is 30, he exercises twice a week at the local gym, and he does not take any medication. Part of your discussion during today’s visit is about screening for colorectal cancers. He did endorse some constipation in the review of systems. He noted an uncle in his family history who was diagnosed at age 54 with colon cancer. You begin to talk about colorectal screening, and the patient interrupts you and tells you that he is only 47 and that he should not have to worry about it until he is 50.
What are the recommendations and source(s) for the colorectal cancer screening test?
The patient thinks he does not have to worry about “being screened” until age 50. Is he correct? Why or why not? What age would you recommend screening for this patient and why? Does his family history come into play here?
What age would you recommend screening for this patient and why? Does his family history come into play here?

ECO306 Dr. Berdell Macroeconomic Outlook and Theory ReviewI) To
1. ECO306 Dr. Berdell: Macroeconomic Outlook and Theory
Review
I) Topic
Present your analysis of the near-term prospects for the US
economy. Which factors and policies will be the most
important determinants of the future course of the economy?
Forecasts of the economy are always based on theoretical and
methodological presuppositions; hence this paper calls for your
reasoned personal opinion. To construct and support that
opinion you will need to identify and discuss the relevant data
as well as set out and justify the theoretical perspective from
which you are viewing the data. Your choice of which
theoretical perspective(s) to adopt will likely depend upon the
type of problem you are analyzing.
The following section presents the criteria by which papers will
be assessed. Section III emphasizes the importance of proper
references and avoiding plagiarism. Section IV sets out a
variety of important variables to consider and some sources
where the data and associated commentary may be found.
Section V discusses how you can use the Keynesian macro-
econometric FairModel.
II Evaluation Criteria
1. Clarity of Forecast and Cyclical Positioning
a. Is there a clear forecast table in the appendix and does the
paper make good use of it?
b. Has the economy been expanding/contracting?
c. What are the chances that it is presently at a turning point?
2. Identification and Depth of Sources
2. a. Are sources acknowledged and properly cited? Does the
bibliography or list of references coherently and consistently
document these sources?
b. Is there a mix of sources from original gov. releases,
commentary from the press, and academic theories and
research?
3. Coverage and Interrelation of Sectors
a. Is there coverage of:
i. leading-coincident indicators
ii. labor market conditions
iii. GDP growth and its components
iv. indicators of inflation and borrowing costs
v. productivity and profitability measures
vi. exchange rates and external linkages
b. How clearly and concretely are developments in these parts
of the economy are interrelated?
4. Use of Competing Theories, Models and Forecasts
a. Are the contending theoretical approaches covered in the text
considered?
b. Are additional required/recommended sources utilized?
c. Are private or public sector forecasts presented?
3. d. Are FairModel or other model results considered?
e. Are the structure and assumptions of the Fairmodel
presented?
5. Cohesion, Coherence and Innovation of the Analysis
a. Does the work elaborate a consistent thesis or does each
section seem detached and without a unifying theme? It is
clearly and well written?
b. Are there innovative aspects of the analysis or its
presentation?
III) Length and Proper References
The paper should contain 6-10 pages of text, double spaced.
You may either insert or attach at the end a variety of tables
and graphs you think important. These tables and graphs must
be numbered and discussed in the text. Never attach or insert
an object which you do not talk about in the paper! Do
remember that I expect a list of references at the end of the
paper, and proper citation of material throughout.
I am not greatly concerned about which style of references you
use so long as it is a well-respected standard and consistently
used. An easy style of references is Turabian Author Date.
DePaul’s Writing Center
http://condor.depaul.edu/writing/writers/citations.html has a
link to a page for the Turabian style. On this page you need to
click the Author Date Tab
http://www.press.uchicago.edu/books/turabian/turabian_citation
guide.html
You must use quotation marks or indentation to indicate text
written by others and avoid plagiarism:.
“..a major form of academic dishonesty involving the
4. presentation of the work of another as one's own. Plagiarism
includes but is not limited to the following:
a. The direct copying of any source, such as written and verbal
material, computer files, audio disks, video programs or musical
scores, whether published or unpublished, in whole or part,
without proper acknowledgement that it is someone else's.
b. Copying of any source in whole or part with only minor
changes in wording or syntax, even with acknowledgement.
c. Submitting as one's own work a report, examination paper,
computer file, lab report or other assignment that has been
prepared by someone else. This includes research papers
purchased from any other person or agency.
d. The paraphrasing of another's work or ideas without proper
acknowledgement.
Plagiarism, like other forms of academic dishonesty, is always a
serious matter. If an instructor finds that a student has
plagiarized, the appropriate penalty is at the instructor's
discretion. Actions taken by the instructor do not preclude the
college or the university from taking further punitive action
including dismissal from the university” (DePaul Student
Handbook).
In this assignment you GAIN points by citing a wide range of
authors and sources so plagiarism would be totally
counterproductive! Do indeed mention discussions you have
had with class mates if they have influenced your views or if
you are sharing material. Each student must write their own
paper.
IVA) Some Variables and Sources to ConsiderLeading
Indicators
Review the behavior of the leading, lagging and coincident
indicators.

Productivity
Review the behavior of productivity and its relation to output
and employment growth.
Sources: The BLS has excellent resources on productivity.

time estimates of total productivity growth. (Tracking
productivity in real time is unfortunately a very problematic
undertaking, for a discussion see

Output and Demand Components
Review the growth of output and its components: C, I, G, (X-
IM).
Sources: The all-important "GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT"

You may wish to consult the "Summary of Commentary on
Current Economic Conditions (Beige Book)" and "Federal Open
Market Committee Meeting Minutes".
(See

7. Fiscal Policy
Review the contribution of G (government spending) growth to
the growth of output. See the GDP reports table 2 which tells us
the contributions of different types of spending to GDP growth.
To look at the issue of the Full Employment Budget Deficit and
the effect of automatic stabilizers go to the Congressional
Budget Office www.cbo.gov. Look for their ‘Update to the
Budget and Economic Outlook’ it has a section examining the
“Deficit or Surplus With and Without CBO’s Estimate of
Automatic Stabilizers, and
Related Estimates, as a Percentage of Potential Gross Domestic
Product”. The most influential think tank following fiscal
policy is Brookings:
https://www.brookings.edu/topic/federal-fiscal-policy/
IVB) Sources Mentioned Above and Other Handy Links
Economy.com (used to be called Dismal Scientist.) Go to the
library databases and find Economy.com . In addition to their
economic commentary (which you can search for say "GDP
report" or "productivity" ) it is worth examining their FRB
links, Taylor Rule calculator, and Stock Market Calculator.
They have a companion site FreeLunch.com that allows you to
graph many variables not available via the Conference Board.
FRED The Federal Reserve Board's Economic Data Base.
http://www.research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/
Our text mentions this rather frequently at the ends of chapters
and it is an excellent source verymuch like Economagic.
Look at both and see which one you prefer.
FairModel (http://fairmodel.econ.yale.edu/ )
A large but very standard Keynesian macro-econometric model.
You can use it to produce a forecast of the economy and to
examine the impact of changes in monetary and/or fiscal policy.
8. You can also examine the impact of oil price shocks etc.
Discussed below.
CBO http://www.cbo.gov/
For the Government's Economic Forecast for the next 10 years
see the CBO. The Congressional Budget Office prepares the
forecasts of the NAIRU, Y potential and Y the underlie the
President's Budget. Their current forecast for the US economy
is available from their home page. The methodology behind
these forecasts is discussed in some detail in documents found
in the "Budget and Economic Outlook" section of their
publications.

Many or perhaps all of the links mentioned above are listed on
the American Economic Association's Resources for Economists
web page devoted to Forecasting and Consulting
http://rfe.org/V The Keynesian FairModel as a point of
reference:
There is a very well known Keynesian model of the US
economy that traces its intellectual roots back to the Keynesian
heydays of the 1950's and 60's at Yale University. It is Ray
Fair's FairModel at http://fairmodel.econ.yale.edu/ . We will
discuss its structure and equations when we cover chapters 11-
15 of the text. I suggest that you refer to its key equations in
your paper, and indicate why a classical economist would not
agree with their specification. The model generates a 'base'
forecast of the US economy's growth, unemployment, financial
balances and a host of other variables that you need not
consider. You should know what the model's forecast is and
why you agree or disagree with it.
9. You may also use the Fair Model to indicate what will happen
to the economy under different scenarios (for instance what will
happen if monetary or fiscal policy is altered.
Updated instructions on running the fairmodel will be posted in
D2L.
VI Generic Outline
This is a generic outline. It is typical for the economic outlook
papers written by banks and other institutions year in and year
out. You should deviate from it in order to emphasize issues
that are especially important right now or to accommodate one
or two issues that caught your interest and you want to
emphasize. You should find some place to explain whether you
are using a Keynesian or a Classical approach to understanding
the economy. Perhaps you have decided to draw from both
traditions. You could reorder the material and insert a section
or two. You obviously can’t write about everything that I
mention in the generic outline, but you should say something
that speaks to the major headings: Labor, Demand, Financial
Markets, Supply and International. The main text (sections I to
VI below) should be 5-7 double spaced pages. Only attach
graphs and tables at the end that you talk about in the paper.
Attaching random material not discussed in the body of the
paper will lower the paper grade.
I) Introduction: Where is the US economy in the cycle?
(Starting an expansion? Ending an expansion? When was the
last “turning point” of the US economy?) Are the forecasts for
the US economy split between optimists and pessimists, or do
they all seem to say pretty much the same thing? What growth
rate do you think is likely for the US economy in the forecast
period? (This will be based on your reading and synthesis of
professional forecasts.) What are the key issues that you want
10. to draw special attention to in the sections that follow?
II) Labor Market Developments: What has been happening to
the growth of jobs and wages? (Strong? Weak?) What are
forecasters expecting? What about unemployment and
participation rates? Are there some other important things
about the labor market you encountered that you want to note?
III) Demand. The GDP report, especially table two
“Contributions to GDP growth”, will tell you exactly which
sources of demand have accounted for recent growth. The
Atlanta FRB GDPNow forecast (or Nowcast) will tell you what
seems to happening right now. The Dismal Scientist will also
do this and forecast into the future. The forecast sources
document on D2L has additional sources. Have you read
anything about why particular components of spending (C, I, G,
NX) have been weak or strong? You may want to say that you
will come back to some of them later. (For instance, NX net
exports reappear later in this generic outline.) Fiscal Policy
affects spending directly through G and affects consumption via
taxes.
IV) Financial Markets and the FRB. What has FRB monetary
policy been and what is it expected to be in the near future?
What have some important interest rates been and how are they
expected to change? Have stock prices been rising or falling
recently? Have you read anything about whether changes in the
stock market have affected consumption or investment? Do you
happen to have a strong opinion on what direction stock markets
are headed?
V) Supply Side and International Linkages. Does the economy
appear to be near or away from its potential output? How fast is
potential output growing (due to the growth of productivity as
well as labor and capital)? US exports and imports can be
important influences on the economy. Have they been large
11. recently? Is the US dollar expected to get stronger, weaker, or
stay about the same in the near future?
VI) Conclusion. Which of the aspect of the economy you
discussed above seem to be most important or interesting to you
and why?
VII) References. A good mix of a few government reports,
some economic outlooks from financial institutions, and
newspaper articles you cited in the paper.
VIII) Tables and Figures. The first thing here should be your
forecast table. An old version is posted on D2L. Your forecast
table should have updated forecasts of some important variables
from several sources. At the top of your table should be your
forecast clearly labeled as yours. Your forecast could be an
average of the forecasts you copied from professional sourc es,
or you may have a forecast that is remarkably different than the
consensus.
You should attach at least a few additional graphs or tables.
These should be numbered (Figure One, Figure Two, etc.).
Each figure should be discussed in the paper and should have
had an important influence in shaping your thoughts or the
argument of the paper. Attaching random material will
significantly reduce your grade. Be selective and thoughtful.

Environmental Analysis of Kenya
Kenya is one of the developing countries in the world.
Kenya has a population of more than 50 million people with a
large majority living in rural areas.
In terms of political factors, the political environment of Kenya
is largely favorable.
The stable political environment makes it favorable to open
operation.
14. Kenya is one of the developing countries in the world. Kenya
has a population of more than 50 million people with a large
majority living in rural areas. In terms of political factors, the
political environment of Kenya is largely favorable. This can be
directly linked to the democratic political system (Market
Research Reports, Inc. 2017). The stable political environment
makes it favorable to open operation. The large population of
people indicates that the market for solar products is lucrative.
In terms of economic factors, Kenya has favorable taxation
policies and inflation is largely attractive.

Environmental Analysis of Kenya Cont..”
Kenya has a high domestic demand, geostrategic location, a
strong financial position, and well-educated workforce.
Favorable prices of fuel, low level of competition, and untapped
market are other economic factors of Kenya.
In terms of social factors, Education and health systems of
Kenya is largely favorable.
The literacy level of the country stands at 87.1 percent.
The labor market is highly skilled.
In addition, Kenya has a high domestic demand, geostrategic
location, a strong financial position, and well-educated
workforce. Favorable prices of fuel, low level of competition,
and untapped market are other economic factors of Kenya. The
country is one of the emerging economies in the world. In terms
15. of social factors, Education and health systems of Kenya is
largely favorable (Lucintel, 2013). The literacy level of the
country stands at 87.1 percent. This gives a clear indication that
