1
Ten-Year Period of U.S. Economic History Overview
This slide should include a brief overview of the 10-year period
between 1950 and today that you chose for this presentation.
ECO 202
Write a brief overview of the time period you chose.
To give greater impact make sure to be brief in the slide and
explain in the speaker’s notes.
Imagine that you have to present the PPT to an audience.
The slides are an outline for the audience to follow your
presentation.
The speaker’s notes would be what you are going to say.

GDP (1–2 slides)

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Growth
Show a graph of real GDP growth rates for each year of your
decade and highlight significant changes in growth rates, such
as dips or negative growth (recession) or booms (economic
expansion)
Real GDP data can be found here at FRED, the research
database of the St. Louis Federal Reserve – adjust the data to
your 10 year period and use these numbers to calculate the
growth rate
Here is a video to introduce you to using the FRED site
Choose two or three of the most relevant events from this time
period that impacted the U.S. economy. Apply specific models
developed throughout the course to demonstrate how these
events influenced national output during this time period.
You can use the GDP formula to explain how an event impacted
GDP growth. For instance, if there was large increase in
military spending because of a war, we would expect to see an
increase in GDP.
Be sure the connections you make are supported by the data you
present.
ECO 202
Start with the first topic you want to present.
First research the main idea you want to talk about, research
sources, images/graphs/diagrams/tables.
Try to express the main concepts in a brief manner, such as
bullet points, images with key words.
Explain the slide in the speaker’s notes.
3
Unemployment and Inflation (1–2 slides)

Analyze unemployment and inflation data as to their relation to
output and growth, using macroeconomic principles and models
to explain their effect.
Show graphs of both annual inflation rates and annual
unemployment rates throughout your decade.
Find data on inflation rates here
Find data on unemployment here
Explain how inflation and unemployment are calculated for the
data presented
Discuss how changes in both are related to changes in GDP
growth
Apply specific models developed throughout the course to
demonstrate how the previously selected events influenced both
unemployment and inflation during this time period.
Discuss how the events impacted both economic indicators
For the final draft, look to include our AD-AS model to
illustrate how events led the changes observed in both
ECO 202
Make sure to include speaker’s notes.
4
Interest Rates (1–2 slides)
Analyze interest rate fluctuations throughout this time period
and their effects on other aspects of the economy.
Show graph of interest rates during your time period – there are
different rate to choose from, like the Federal Funds Rate, the
3-Month Treasury Rate or the Bank Prime Loan Rate which will
each give a sense of the level of interest rates and the trend
throughout the decade
Then discuss the following:
How would these fluctuations affect/be affected by inflation?
Would investments and foreign trade rates increase or decrease?
How would the GDP of the American economy be affected?

To answer the above questions, consider the relationship
between interest rates and GDP
ECO 202
Include Speaker’s notes.
5
Foreign Trade: Imports and Exports
For this element, you are to provide data on levels of imports
and exports throughout your decade.
As with the other economic data, annual numbers for each year
of your decade is ideal. In this case, you may want to look at
the value of imports and exports in real (inflation-adjusted)
dollars or you can present them as a % of GDP.
In your analysis of the data, make connections to other aspects
of the economy, such as the exchange rate. An example might
be a stronger dollar leads to more imports - since our dollar can
buy more foreign currency than before, it also means it can buy
more foreign goods and services (all other things being equal)
and so would lead to an increase in imports.
The Census Bureau collects data on imports and exports and
their data is compiled on other reliable website for easy access:
You can find export data here
You can find import data here
ECO 202
Foreign Trade: Models
This follows well from the analysis of import and export data,
where you can relate the trade levels to events within our
economy and within our trading partners' economies. For
example, the Great Recession saw incomes decrease in most of
the Western world and we know that demand for imports is
determined by income. If demand for goods and services
decrease, we should see a decrease in exports and imports all

around the affected countries, the US included. This shows the
application of the AD-AS model, with a shifting demand curve.
Consider also any relevant trade agreements during this time to
explore changes in patterns of trade based on comparative
advantage, another key economic model.
ECO 202
Fiscal Policy
This rubric element wants you to look at the policies in place at
the start of your chosen decade.
You will need to provide details on the policies and examine
how they were related to macroeconomic issues at the time.
Your slide(s) on this will highlight the key points and your
speaker notes will add the explanatory detail needed.
You may need to take a peak at what was happening in the years
leading up to the start of your decade.
Your work here should include scholarly research which you
can best find information on specific fiscal policies, search by
President instead of by years – start with these sites:
Congressional Budget Office
White House website
National Bureau of Economic Research
ECO 202
Fiscal Policy Actions
This rubric element wants you to examine what the fiscal policy
initiatives were going forward, to respond to the changing
economic landscape.
You should specifically state what the intent of the actions were
- for instance, it could be to decrease unemployment.
Then, use our macroeconomic principles and models (like the
AD-AS model or Keynesianconsumptionfunction) to explain
why the action would lead to the outcome desired by the
government.

Keep the main points (and any use of graphs to show the
economic models) on the slide and use the speaker notes to add
full explanation.
Scholarly research is required here as well (this may overlap
with research from the previous element, as appropriate).
ECO 202
Fiscal Policy Impact
After looking at what the government set out to do and why,
you will now examine if it actually worked.
You will look at the macroeconomic data (which you already
gathered in milestone one) to see if policy actions achieved
their goals. For instance, if President Johnson's "War on
Poverty" aimed to reduce poverty in the U.S. and, in doing so,
create a stronger economy. With less poverty, we should see
increased consumption and higher growth rates.
Keep in mind that there may be times when the government
misread the economy and implemented a policy that had
unintended effects so its important to compare what was
observed after the policy in the macroeconomic data to what the
policy objectives were.
ECO 202
Monetary Policy
This rubric element wants you to look at the monetary policies
in place at the start of your chosen decade.
Remember that the Federal Reserve controls our monetary
policy and they have a four main goals:
Price Stability
High Employment
Economic Growth
Financial Market Stability
The main tools the Fed uses are the decreasing or increasing of
the money supply (through open market operations, changing

the required-reserve ratio, and changing the discount rate) and
changes to interest rates.
Be sure to read up on these policy tools the Fed uses in our
textbook and check out this video for further understanding
The San Francisco Federal Reserve is a valuable resource for
research on Federal Reserve history

Reserve that controls open market operattions) has site where
you can access transcripts of meetings and other historical
materials – just enter the year you need!

ECO 202
Monetary Policy Actions
This rubric element wants you to examine what the monetary
policy initiatives were going forward, to respond to the
changing economic landscape throughout your decade.
You should specifically state what the intent of the actions were
- for instance, the Fed may have used expansionary policy to
help expand the economy in response to a recession. Such
policies could have been buying up government bonds - this
puts money into the economy since the Fed is buying these
bonds from a bank and then the bank can use that money in the
economy. This open-market operation increases the money
supply.
Then, use our macroeconomic principles and models (like the
Supply and Demand of Money model, AD-AS model to show
impact of interest rates on equilibrium GDP, Phillips Curve,
etc.) to explain why the action would lead to the outcome
desired by the government.
Keep the main points (and any use of graphs to show the
economic models) on the slide and use the speaker notes to add
full explanation. Scholarly research is required here as well
(this may overlap with research from the previous element, as
appropriate).
ECO 202
Monetary Policy Impact
After looking at what the Fed set out to do and why, you will
now examine if it actually worked.
You will look at the macroeconomic data (which you already
gathered in milestone one - feel free to add more here if needed
to support your analysis) to see if policy actions achieved their
goals. For instance, if the Fed raised interest rates as a
contractionary policy aimed at slowing down inflation, did it
work?

There might also be examples of where the Fed misread the
economic landscape and initiated expansionary policy when
they should have taken on contractionary policy, or vice versa.
Consider all actions taken by the Fed during your decade and
analyze their impact on the overall economy, paying particular
attention to GDP growth rates, unemployment and inflation.
ECO 202
Conclusions
For this element, you will take all the data, history and policy
analysis you have presented and summarize it in a coherent and
thorough manner. Basically, this is your time to tell the
economic story of the decade and make all the necessary
connections now that your analysis is done. Be sure to include
specific examples and data points that help tell the story.
ECO 202
Speaker’s notes.
15
“Agree/Disagree”
Here, you will state whether you agree or disagree with fiscal
and monetary policy actions taken.
It is possible that some actions you agree with and other you
disagree with - that is fine. You can discuss your reasons for
disagreement or agreement on a case-by-case basis.
In your argument, be sure you are using our economic models
and concepts to support you and not just your own opinion or
feeling about what is best. For instance, saying that we should
not have spent money on government programs because it's not
fair to give out money to people would not be an
macroeconomics-based reason. You could say that increased
government spending through expansionary fiscal policy created
too much inflation later on and so you disagree with that action.

ECO 202 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of economic
history analysis presentation. Macroeconomics is the part of the
study of economics that is concerned
with the aggregate or the whole. Macroeconomics provides us
with tools and methods to understand how our economy works
as a whole. It deals with
economy-wide issues such as price levels, employment, national
income, and growth. As a student of macroeconomics, you will
learn how to understand the
changes occurring throughout our economy and how our
economy is influenced by our decisions, by our government, and
by other countries.

In this assignment, you will perform an in-depth analysis of a
10-year period in U.S. economic history between 1950 and
today. In your analysis, you will examine
macroeconomic data, basic macroeconomic principles,
government actions, and historical/current events to give a clear
and comprehensive picture of your
chosen time period and detail how they are related to one
another.
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
Two, Four, and Five. The final project will be submitted in
Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the
following course outcomes:
for drawing connections between the events and their economic
impact
and monetary policy actions for their impact on the economy
economic outcomes and forecasting
their influence on industries and households
Prompt
For this assignment, you will first need to choose a 10-year

period in U.S. economic history between 1950 and today. You
will then present the data collected
from government sources related to a variety of macroeconomic
phenomena and analyze them in conjunction with the models
and core principles to explain the
economy-wide changes during your chosen time period. You
will also examine the events of the time in their relation to the
macroeconomic issues as well as the
corresponding government actions taken (fiscal and monetary
policies) to address the issues. The final presentation should be
15–20 slides using PowerPoint,
Prezi, Keynote, or PreZentit, including title and reference
slides. Be sure to include speaker notes to accompany the data
and graphs, information, and
explanations presented on the slide.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Examination of Macroeconomic Data (Be sure to include
speaker notes to accompany all of your responses.)
a) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Growth
i. Analyze the annual GDP during the time frame to calculate
specific growth rates and trends in the U.S. economy.
ii. Choose two or three of the most relevant historical and/or
current events during this time period that impacted the U.S.
economy. Apply
specific models developed throughout the course to demonstrate
how these events influenced national output during this time.
b) Unemployment and Inflation
i. Analyze unemployment and inflation data during the time

frame in their relation to output and growth, using
macroeconomic principles
and models to explain their effect.
ii. Apply specific models developed throughout the course to
demonstrate how the previously selected historical and/or
current events
influenced both unemployment and inflation during this time.
c) Analyze interest rate fluctuations throughout this time period
and their effects on other aspects of the economy. How would
these fluctuations
affect inflation? Would investments and foreign trade rates
increase or decrease? How would the GDP of the American
economy be affected?
d) Foreign Trade
i. Analyze data representing levels of U.S. imports and exports
during this time. How do they relate to other economic
outcomes such as
the GDP, foreign exchange rates, and so on?
demonstrate how domestic and foreign events (e.g., wars,
changes in trade
barriers, development abroad) have impacted the level of and
changes in imports and exports in the United States.
II. Government Policies (Be sure to include speaker notes to
accompany all of your responses.)
a) Fiscal Policy
i. Examine the fiscal policies in place at the start of your
specific time period in relation to their effects on

macroeconomic issues. For
instance, consider level of government spending, taxation,
subsidies, unemployment benefits, and so on.
ii. Analyze new fiscal policy actions undertaken by the U.S.
government throughout the time period by describing their
intended effects,
using macroeconomic principles to explain the actions.
iii. Explain the impact of the new fiscal policy actions on
individuals and businesses within the economy by integrating
the macroeconomic
data and principles.
b) Monetary Policy
i. Examine the monetary policies in place at the start of your
instance, consider the discount rate set by the Fed, the rates on
reserves, open market operations, and so on.
ii. Analyze new monetary policy actions undertaken by the U.S.
intended
effects, using macroeconomic principles to explain the actions.
iii. Explain the impact of the new monetary policy actions on
the
macroeconomic data and principles.
III. Conclusion (Be sure to include speaker notes to accompany
all of your responses.)
a) Summarize the overall trends and outcomes of this 10-year
period by integrating the data, economic models, and historical

analysis.
b) Defend your agreement or disagreement with the actions
