Assignment Steps

Resources: Tutorial help on Excel^® and Word functions can be found on the Microsoft^® Office website. There are also additional tutorials via the web offering support for Office products.

Create a minimum 10-slide
PowerPoint® presentation, including detailed speaker notes or voiceover,
in which you analyze your choice of one the following markets or
industries:

• The housing market
• Financial markets
• Commodity and stock markets
• 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

Your analysis will extend from the
beginning of the Great Recession, which was December 2007, to the
present and should include the following:

• An Excel^® workbook with the following datasets:
  • 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.
  • One dataset related to personal or household income or to personal or household saving.
  • 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.
  • One dataset related to production and business activity within the market or industry you choose to analyze.
• 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.
• Discuss specific changes in supply and demand within the markets and/or industries you chose to analyze.
• 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.
• 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
  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.

Cite a minimum of three
peer-reviewed sources and economic data not including the course text.
Submit the data results in a separate Microsoft^® Excel^® file.

Format the assignment consistent with APA guidelines.
