Macroeconomics Paper

Assignment Steps 
 
Please use the National Bureau of Economic Research for your material and also usepeer-reviewed sources.
 
Develop a 1,500 word economic outlook forecast that includes the following:
 
Provide a five year history of the “Big Three” macro economic variables (GDP Growth, Unemployment Rate, and Inflation Rate). and compare to *a* forecast for the next five years.
 
Discuss how fiscal and monetary policies can influence economic growth, unemployment, and inflation.
 
Based on your above findings discuss whether the US fiscal or monetary policies should be changed. If you feel they should be changed provide your reasoning; if you feel they should not be changed provide your reasoning.
 
What do you feel is the most significant macro economic problem currently facing the United States? Provide your reasoning for your conclusion.
 
Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. 
 
Additional Info:

The primary focus of this assignment is to understand the impact of Fiscal and Monetary Policy on GDP. This assignment will help students develop an understanding of what money is, what forms money takes, how the banking system helps create money, and how the Federal Reserve influences the quantity of money. Note – there are limits to how much control over the bank system the Federal Reserve can force. The banks are the major source of money creation in a boom period, because of lending, and during a recession the Federal Reserve can’t force them to make loans, hence the effective money supply can shrink even while the Federal Reserve is engaging in significant expansionary policies. The past decade shows us there is almost no direct relationship between these money supply quantity and inflation. This partially explains why we saw effectively zero inflation during the largest period of Federal Reserve Expansionary Monetary Policy in the history of the economy, during the past decade or so. The IS/LM model clearly shows this is not the case.  At a minimum three additional factors must be accounted for: 1) productivity growth, 2) population growth, and 3) Agg. Demand/Agg. Supply imbalances. Students will review the basic concepts macroeconomists use to study open economies and will address why a nation’s net exports must equal its net capital outflow.  Students will focus on the effect of Fiscal and Monetary policy on GDP.

    inhabiting his abodes until the world’s end;
    he held to his noble destiny.” (3077-3084a)

Reinforcement Procedures Paper

In this assignment, you are able to connect the concepts of reinforcement to a real example of a mom and her children, which allows you to see how a highly effective reinforcer (the token economy) can still fail when not individualized. Consider the following scenario: A mother is trying to increase the amount of peas that her two children eat. She uses a sticker chart to monitor the amount of peas they are consuming and rewards them based on the number of stickers they have earned at the end of the week. The mother has found that this works for one child, but not the other. Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper discussing the following: Identify the behavior the mother is trying to reinforce. Identify the possible functions of the behaviors. Identify the method of reinforcement being used. Explain possible reasons for this method working for one child but not the other. Propose and outline three ideas that may work to increase pea consumption for the children, and include one method that uses negative reinforcement. Format your paper according to APA guidelines.
