Questions

1. Evaluate current economic policy (trade, fiscal, monetary) in the US. State what the current condition of the economy is (last 2 years), state the policies during this time of the federal government, and draw necessary graphs to demonstrate these conditions. If the policies seem inappropriate with regard to theory, suggest alternate policy consistent with theory.

2. Repeat the analysis you did in Question 1 for the country you have been assigned. Cite actual data to support your answers, and discuss the trade relationship between your assigned country and the US.
