MACRO STUDENTS
The macro argument should involve theories learned from
CPI, GDP Economic Growth, Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply, Multiplier effect, etc
Some of the questions the Research paper should address are Describe in general the issue that is being debated:
- Read two or more perspectives on this argument from both sides (support minimum wage increase, oppose minimum wage increase) and describe the authors perspectives on raising the minimum wage to reduce poverty and inequality.
- Analyze the evidence that each author uses to support his/her thesis: What types of evidence are used? Does the evidence support his or her thesis?
- Evaluate the qualification of the authors: What bias might the authors have?
- Use statistics and facts and macroeconomic theories to evaluate the articles.
- The older articles generated published critiques in peer reviewed articles. This means students should perform a literature review of “peer reviewed” articles to form their “measured, qualified conclusion. RESEARCH NOT RANTS”
- From Macro: Public Policy Fiscal and Monetary policy
Professorial Hints:
- What is the strategic goal of the policy?
- Are there better tactical goals to reach the strategic Goals?
- What, in your research, supports or disavows the presented articles?
- What are the best tactical polices to attain the strategic Goals?
- What is the empirical evidence? What is the data?
- ECONOMICS is always asking “Why!”
- Students must “Make A Decision.” And defend their decisions within the parameters of Economics theory and peer reviewed articles that supports or disavows the given articles and .
- In Economics, Opinion is defined is the “well informed analysis of the thesis.” Rants are not Research
