Assignment Steps<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Resources:<\/strong> Tutorial help on Excel^{\u00ae<\/sup> and Word functions can be found on the Microsoft\u00ae<\/sup> Office website. There are also additional tutorials via the web offering support for Office products. <\/strong><\/p>\n}

Create <\/strong>a minimum 10-slide PowerPoint\u00ae presentation, including detailed speaker notes or voiceover, in which you analyze your choice of one the following markets or industries:<\/p>\n

\n
• The housing market<\/li>\n
• Financial markets<\/li>\n
• Commodity and stock markets<\/li>\n
• 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 <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Your analysis will extend from the beginning of the Great Recession, which was December 2007, to the present and should include the following:<\/p>\n

  \n
  • An Excel\u00ae<\/sup> workbook with the following datasets:\n
    \n
    • 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.<\/li>\n
    • One dataset related to personal or household income or to personal or household saving.<\/li>\n
    • 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.<\/li>\n
    • One dataset related to production and business activity within the market or industry you choose to analyze.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • 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.<\/li>\n
    • Discuss specific changes in supply and demand within the markets and\/or industries you chose to analyze.<\/li>\n
    • 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.<\/li>\n
    • 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<\/em> 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. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Cite<\/strong> a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources and economic data not including the course text. Submit the data results in a separate Microsoft^{\u00ae<\/sup> Excel\u00ae <\/sup>file. <\/p>\n}
