MACROECONOMICS ASSIGNMENT RESEARCH PAPER:  “Advice to the President” You have been selected to prepare a brief report to the president of the United States advising him or her about the most appropriate economic policy for the country. For this assignment, you will write a 950-1250-word paper in which you review the current economic indicators (GDP, Unemployment, CPI, Inflation, etc.) and then make recommendations regarding both Fiscal and Monetary Policy. Although, as we have learned, the president of the United States plays somewhat of a limited role in the direct formulation and implementation of macroeconomic policy, nevertheless each president can have significant influence by articulating their vision for the best direction for the economy in the United States. It is this vision which you are being asked to help the president articulate. Areas for you to consider, for example, would be should taxes be lowered, raised, or left the same? Should government spending be cut, increased, or stay the same? What contractionary or expansionary monetary policy would be recommended for the Federal Reserve to undertake? Should the Fed sell bonds or buy bonds? Or perhaps the Fed should change the discount rate? Use current economic data (BLS, BEA, etc.) to back up your recommendations. This paper should be a properly formatted Microsoft Word document and posted to the Canvas assignment drop box no later than midnight on the due date. You may embed a table or chart constructed using Word or Excel into your paper for added clarity. All sources should be properly cited via APA in text and listed on the reference page.

Unit I introduced the benefits of markets to improving outcomes for producers and consumers. Unit II examined the role of costs and prices in decision-making. For this assignment, you will answer a series of questions in the form of an essay. Support your answers with research from at least three peer-reviewed journal articles using the CSU Online Library (or other sources).
