Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings • Week 2 DQ1 • The Local Job Force • Visit the Bureau of Labor Statistics and click on the links for state employment and unemployment.

  5. ECO 203 Ash Tutorial Course ECO 203 Week 3 DQ 1 In Retrospect ECO 203 Week 3 DQ 2 The Money Supply • Week 3 DQ1 • In Retrospect • While many thought that the 2008 fiscal stimulus plan described in the feature on pg. 174 was a good idea, some did not. Some even thought that Congress didn’t go far enough. In retrospect, who was right? Did the economy experience a recession in 2008 or 2009? What happened to employment during the rest of 2008? What are some of the alternatives to a tax cut that might have been used? Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings • Week 3 DQ2 • The Money Supply • Why do you think the FED evaluates the money multiplier when making decisions with regard to the money supply? What function does the money supply serve in our economy to influence certain economic variables? Why does the FED like to fight inflation in our economy and is inflation a concern right now given our current economic situation? Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings

  7. ECO 203 Ash Tutorial Course ECO 203 Week 4 DQ 2 Inflation ECO 203 Week 5 DQ 1 Balanced Budgets • Week 4 DQ2 • Inflation • On pg. 255 in your text, The Economics in Practice describes the increase in food prices around the world in 2008. Since food, in large measure, affects the real income of households, increasing prices will eventually push up wages and have an impact on the aggregate supply curve. Central banks were very worried about the prospects for inflation becoming generalized. • Week 5 DQ1 • Balanced Budgets • Some states are required to balance their budgets. Is this measure stabilizing or destabilizing? Suppose all states were committed to a balanced budget philosophy and the economy moved into a recession. What effects would this philosophy have on the size of the federal deficit? Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings

How is it possible for output to increase without a proportional increase in the number of workers? What are the implications in our economy of more output being produced by less workers? Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings • Final Paper • Complete a 5-6 page final paper that completely answers the following: • Economists generally agree that high budget deficits today will reduce the growth rate of the economy in the future. Why? Do the reasons for the high budget deficit matter? In other words, does it matter whether the deficit is caused by lower taxes, increased defense spending, more job-training programs, and so on?
