Purpose of Assignment

This
assignment addresses how both monetary and fiscal policies have been
used during the so-called Great Recession, which began in December 2007
and ended in June 2009, to the present to moderate the business cycle.

Assignment Steps

Resources: Tutorial help on Excel® and Word functions can be found on the Microsoft®Office website. There are also additional tutorials via the web offering support for Office products.

Create a
minimum 10-slide PowerPoint® presentation, including detailed speaker
notes or voiceover, in which you analyze your choice of one the
following markets or industries:

  • The housing market
  • Financial markets
  • Commodity and stock markets
  • An
    industry of your choice, such as the automobile industry, the airline
    industry, retail trade, or any other major industry that suffered heavy
    losses during the Great Recession

Your analysis will extend
from the beginning of the Great Recession, which was December 2007, to
the present and should include the following:

  • An Excel® workbook with the following datasets:
    • One
      dataset related to the U.S. housing industry such as housing starts,
      the FHFA housing price index, or another dataset of your choice related
      to the housing market.
    • One dataset related to personal or household income or to personal or household saving.
    • One
      dataset related to the labor market such as the unemployment rate,
      initial claims for unemployment insurance, or another dataset of your
      choice related to the U.S. labor force.
    • One dataset related to production and business activity within the market or industry you choose to analyze.
  • Find
    your datasets by using different internet data sources, including, but
    not limited to, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis’s FRED site, U.S.
    Dept. of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), U.S. Dept. of
    Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Census Bureau, and The
    Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Using
    data results analyze the economic and sociological forces that drove the
    market equilibrium to unsustainable heights, commonly referred to as
    “bubbles,” and the shocks that brought the markets back down.
  • Discuss specific changes in supply and demand within the markets and/or industries you chose to analyze.
  • Examine
    prior government policies and legislation that might have exacerbated
    the impact of the shocks. Also, discuss government actions/regulations
    that might be undertaken, and/or have been undertaken, to moderate the
    effects of extreme economic fluctuations.
  • Evaluate the actions
    of the federal government (fiscal policy) and the Federal Reserve
    (monetary policy) to restore the economy and foster economic growth.
    Base your evaluation on information available at Internet sources such
    as, but not limited to, the Fed’s The Economy Crisis and Response
    website as well as other appropriate sources found on the Internet and
    in the University Library. Be sure you address the effectiveness of
    those counter-cyclical policies.

Cite a
minimum of three peer-reviewed sources and economic data not including
the course text. Submit the data results in a separate Microsoft® Excel® file.
