help for econ essay

Instructions: - There are 4 problems in total, and I need the answers for all of them - We have to make an argument of each question and write an essay. and it needs to include

the sources from those class readings - Professor will choose randomly 2 questions from 4. Based on in class assigned readings,

we have to use ideas or information from the book/ article, we don't have to cite the page number. Maybe according to the questions and problems you have, choose from the readings, but it has to cite your ideas from which book/article.

- the length for each question maybe about 1 or 1and a half page or maybe more.

- We have two hours to write the essay, it may contain one question and at most 2. But we don’t know which one, so prepared for all the four.

- It’s better to use as much sources from the readings as you can, which will have a better grade.
