it's a Economic report

Econ 360, Summer 2015 Country Report 5

Country Report 5: Economic Issues Due via email by Thursday, July 2nd

For this report, you will identify three distinct international economic issues facing your country. To do this you will conduct a news article search for your country and �nd three articles discussing separate issues relating to the topics we've covered in class. You should use relatively recent articles (over the past year), though for some smaller countries, you may have to go back a bit further. You will be using Lexis-Nexis Academic, a search tool for print media publications.

Instructions

1. First go to library.sdsu.edu then click on the link titled �Databases.� From there select LexisNexis Academic.

2. On the next screen, click on the link at the bottom titled �Search the News� and then type in the name of your country in the �Search for� box. You may also want to throw in some more search terms like �international trade,� �foreign investment,� �exchange rate,� etc. Restrict your search at �rst to Major World Publications. If this does not turn up enough options, you can broaden your search. I would recommend sorting the results from newest to oldest, that way you have the most recent articles showing up �rst.

3. Find three articles that deal with three di�erent international economic issues. In other words, issues related to the topics we have been discussing in class. Be sure to look at di�erent issues (i.e. do not get three articles dealing with international trade.)

4. Summarize the key points of each article you selected. Be sure to start each summary with a full bibliographic reference to the article including the name of the publication, author (if available), and date of publication.

5. Come up with your own solution for the economic problem identi�ed in each article.
