GENERAL REMINDERS

Reports must be TYPED (11-12 pt type) DOUBLE-SPACED and cannot exceed 2 pages in length, not including graphs. Use the FORMAT PROVIDED. Do include section headings.
Attach a copy of the article/ link to your paper. Your article must be something published this semester. Use any publication you like. Business publications are fine, but so are Sports Illustrated, Newsweek, your neighborhood Booster, or any other. You can find economic issues in all kinds of magazines and newspapers. Make sure the article is was published after May 31.
Your task here is to apply economic concepts, not to summarize articles.
Identify the relevant economic concept at the top of your paper. Stick to topics covered in the assigned chapters.
In the 1st section of your paper, thoroughly Explain the concept in your own words. Do not quote the book and don’t refer to your article yet. This should fill up your 1st page.
In the 2nd section of your paper, explain how the article illustrates this concept. Your task is to demonstrate a working knowledge of economics, not to simply summarize an article. Play the role of the econ professor who’s constructing an example to illustrate a concept in class. This is the 2nd page of your paper.
Include a graph on page 3 to illustrate what’s going on. Label your graph appropriately.
One point per day late will be deducted if you submit your paper after the due date. No papers will be accepted after Friday, July 30.
“Work-in-progress” will not be graded. Your paper is not ready to submit until it is PROPERLY FORMATTED, TYPED/DOUBLE-SPACED (black ink on white 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper) with 1″ MARGINS on all 4 sides, your article, or the URL attached.
Caution: The graphs required are ones that illustrate the economic theories and the concepts we learned in class, Bar & Pie graphs and other graphs representing statistical data are not counted.

In general: the paper is 2-3 pages in length. It requires you to find a newspaper article that is related to one of the core concepts (units) we covered in our course of study Except for unemployment
On page 1: you discuss the technical/ theoretical information, and the questions you must answer about the concept you chose. For example; If you write about Fiscal policy you need to answer – in a paragraph format – a series of questions such as: What is the fiscal policy ? What are its tools? Who decides it? What do we mean by contractionary and expansionary fiscal policies?……
Write this in paragraph form, so it is logical, sequential in its development, and to the point. There is no need for long introductions that consume the space of your page when you should be using it to explain your economic concept. Page 1 is not a glossary, it is to see how you can convey the basic information to a reader (your instructor). There is no need to site information you use on page 1 since it is common knowledge in the course. You are not allowed to use quotes. Please use your own words.

page 2:

On page 2 you analyze the newspaper article. What you write technically, and provide information about on page 1, must be applied on page 2

page 3: Graphs

– All graphs must have titles (placed above the graph).
– The graph required is an economic model graph (i.e. AD& AS, Aggregate Expenditure…) – No statistical, bar, or pie graphs.
– All axes must be labeled and in correct measurable units.
– All curves labeled, and all equilibrium points labeled.
– The graph should match/ explain what you have written on page 2.
– You must include your article or its URL with your paper. I will not be able to grade your paper if I do not receive your article.
Caution: The graphs required illustrate the economic theories/ models and the concepts we learned in class, NOT BAR OR PIE GRAPHS DISPLAYING STATISTICAL DATA INCLUDED IN YOUR ARTICLE.

You must find an article on inflation from May 31 2021 or sooner it can’t be more in the past then that and also I am going to drop a paper in the materials box that the final product should look exactly like that but on inflation rathcixer than supply and demand
