Econ help (research paper topic)

The selected topic must be one that relates to macroeconomics; that is, any of the subjects listed in the Arnold table of contents under macroeconomics, for example, monetary policy. Microeconomic topics and analysis are not acceptable for a macro class.  The paper should not be long. Provide enough information and detail on your chosen topic to serve as the basis for economic analysis. The topic must be relatively current; an analysis of some past event is not acceptable.  Show how the theory you’ve learned from the course and presented in Arnold applies to or explains the current situation. The analysis need not be complex, but must include a written explanation and a graphical analysis similar to those used throughout Arnold. Basically, you are just selecting the appropriate tools from Arnold and showing how they apply to a specific situation.  Write a short conclusion. This might include some predictions for the future.
