Macroeconomics Final Project: Write an Economic Autobiography Instructions
We are all the sum of our decisions; meaning who and where you are right now in life is the totality of all the decisions you made up to this point. And

not only your decisions, as a child and minor the decisions of your parent(s) or guardian(s) also play a big role. The decisions of others like employers

and the government affect you on an individual level. And all these decisions can be influenced by the surrounding macroeconomic conditions.
Think about several key decisions that really influenced who and where you are today. These can be decisions you made or decisions others made for you –

some examples could be:
you deciding to: go to college, buy a car, move out of your parents house, buy a house, enter the work force, leave the work force, change careers, get

married, to have children, etc…
your parents deciding to: have you!, move to a new house, open a new business, close a business, change your school, get a divorce, have more kids, change

careers, leave the work force, etc…
an employer deciding to: laying off workers, hire workers, close, etc…
government deciding to: use stabilizing policy, go to war, expand a program, cut funding to a program, etc…
Then write an “economic autobiography” detailing how macroeconomic conditions shaped the incentives involved in those decisions and how the decisions

affected your life.
Requirements:
1. a) Graph / timeline identifying pivotal decisions in your life and overlaying relevant economic data (see example at the end of this document)
2. b) 4 pages of text (typed double spaced / not including graph)
3. c) 4 outside /verifiable references (APA or MLA style) with in-text citations and a full works cited
section.
•These references must be 4 different, outside sources from verifiable sources; no blogs,
and no wikis. Your textbook does not count as one of your required citations.
Guided Assistance
To help you out I have laid out some steps you can take to think through your story. They are just suggestions and you do not have to follow them with

precision, but it may help you generate the right questions to investigate.
Step 1
Plan the outline of your autobiography. Do this by writing down key decisions that impacted who and where you are today (like the examples given in the

instructions). Sometimes it helps to think about events and then think about the decisions that where involved in those events (going off to college,

moving to a new house, a parent’s unemployment, etc…). To help jog your memory try talking to family members, looking at old photos, looking at old

documents, or digging up old possessions. Create a timeline indicating these pivotal decisions in your life, from birth to the present day. Tip: It helps

to do the graph requirement now, to help frame the rest of your research. See the graph example at the end of this document.
Step 2
Research the state of the U.S. economy around the times of the pivotal decisions in your life. (if you were not born in the U.S., research the state of the

economy for the nation which you were born it) You can find this information by reviewing government websites that provide historic data, reading archives

of Government and Federal Reserve reports, reading archives of newspapers, magazines, or other publications, and/or talking with family member who are old

enough to remember the events of that time. Tip: See the suggested websites later in this document for good research sources.
As you research, investigate questions like:
• • What part of the business cycle was the economy in at the time? Was the economy growing or contracting?
• • Was the economy at full employment or was there high unemployment?
• • Was inflation low and stable or was their high inflation (or deflation)?
• • Where interest rates high or low?
• • Were there rapid changes in technology and rapid productivity gains?
• • Were there any aggregate demand shocks or real shocks being experienced?
• • Were there any crises going on at the time? Housing? Banking? Stock Market?…
Step 3
Research the ways in which the Federal Government and the Federal Reserve were involved in the national economy, and any major economic issues facing the

government around the times of the pivotal decisions in your life. You can find this information by reading archives of Government and Federal Reserve

reports and reading archives of newspapers, magazines, or other publications. (Students born outside the U.S. may have a hard time finding old government

reports, but you should still be able to read archives of newspapers or publications). Tip: See the suggested websites later in this document for good

research sources.
As you research, investigate questions like:
• • Were there any significant fiscal policies being implemented?
• • Were there any significant monetary policies being implemented?
• • Were there any major trade policies being implemented?
• • Were there significant policies being implemented what would impact long term economic
growth?
• • Were there significant labor market policies that may have affected structural unemployment?
• • Were there any significant institutional changes occurring at the time?
• • Were there any national debt issues at the time?
• • What macroeconomic school of thought were the policy makers at the time following
(Keynesian, Classical,…)?
Step 4
Research the economic situations that your family was facing around the times of the pivotal decisions in your life. The situations may be positive or

negative. You may have to acquire some of this information by talking with family members and friends who were around at the time.
As you interview your family members and friends ask them questions like:
• • Who was the primary income provider at the time and did he/she have a stable job?
• • Was the primary income earner’s occupation cyclical or countercyclical?
• • If the primary income provider was a business owner, was business profitable or unprofitable?
• • Was household income adequate to cover all the family’s expenses at the time?
• • Were household expenses stable or were they rising rapidly?
• • Were there any emergency expenses that your family had to pay for at the time?
• • Was the family housing arrangement adequate for the family at the time?
• • Were there any particular money related issues that were putting significant stress on the
family?
• • Were there any monetary windfalls enjoyed by your family at the time?
• • What type of “safety net” did the family have to weather rough times?
Step 5
Think about how the economic environment described in parts 2-4 affected the pivotal decisions in your life, the time in between those decisions, and

present life position. To do this think about how parts 2, 3, and 4 relate to one another, and how the economic conditions that resulted created the

experiences that make up who you are today.
As you reflect on this ask yourself questions like:
• • How did the economic environment affect the opportunities I had available to me?
• • How did the economic environment affect the cost and benefits of my decisions?
• • How did the economic environment affect my relationships with my family members and
friends?
• • How did the economic environment shape my preferences (likes and dislikes)?
• • How did the economic environment influence my core beliefs; for instance how I see myself,
how I see other people, how I see the world?
Step 6:
Put it all together and write your economic autobiography. First add the relevant economic data and economic events to your timeline created in step 1 (see

example at the end of this document). There should be at least 1 data series overlaid on the timeline. Then write about how macroeconomic conditions shaped

the incentives involved in those decisions and how the decisions affected your life.
Remember the key thing here is the economics behind the story. While it may be interesting, just telling me your life story will not be sufficient for this

project. You have to explain how the economic environment and the economic policies of the time impacted your life story. And remember I am ultimately

evaluating your knowledge of Macroeconomic principles so be sure to use the concepts, theories, models, and vocabulary from class whenever possible.
Tips to Remember
Over the past few semesters of using this assignment I noticed some common problems in students’ work. Below are some tips to help you improve your paper.
• • It’s not expected that you explicitly considered the macroeconomic conditions when you made your decisions (do want to have kids, I don’t know,

let’s check the CPI). The point is that they affect your decisions without you realizing it. Try to identify the hidden economic forces that resulted in

one decision over another.
• • If you talk about interest rates or an interest sensitive industry, like student loans, housing, or auto, you should talk about the monetary

policy of the time, the federal funds rate, and inflation expectations (as they affect the nominal interest rate – see fisher effect).
• • If you cite an old price or wage you should express it in both original dollars and real 2014 dollars. For example you might say “in 1985 my

father found a job making $10 an hour, which would be equivalent to $21.16 today.” You can use this webpage to easily convert prices/wages to real 2014

dollars: http://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm.
• • Don’t rely solely on singular economic events like a change in oil prices, a war, or a recession to explain incentives. Also consider the long

term economic forces at work behind the scenes including technology (productivity) changes, globalization, and policy that affect long run growth (and the

institutions that foster these forces).
• • Even if nothing seemed to happen, and life just coasted on with no interruptions, you need to offer an explanation as to why there was such

stability. In other words why did your household experience stability even when the economy did not? There have been at least 2 recessions during your

lifetime. Why were you able to weather them so easily? What decisions did your parent(s) make earlier in life that gave them this protection.
• • Use economic vocabulary whenever possible. And reference economic theories by name when relevant.
• • Don’t write your paper in 5 separate sections, like the ones identified above. Those are just for your research. Write the paper as one fluid

story, your story. But as you tell your story explain how macroeconomic forces and government policy impacted the outcomes along the way.
Websites for your use
Below are several website that can help you research for your project. Always remember that the college library grants you access to a large collection of

research tools. Be sure to check them out as well.

Sample Graph
One of the requirements of this project is to create a graph that shows your timeline and at least 1 relevant economic data series. Below is an example of

what I mean. It shows my timeline and unemployment rates over that timeline. I selected unemployment because that was most relevant to my story. But it may

be something different for you (maybe inflation or the federal funds rate). I recommend you use a website that generates graphs for you. I used

http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/ for the graph seen here. But www.bls.gov and www.bea.gov also let you create graphs for most of their data sets

(without having to download the data and make your own excel graph). Another site to consider is http://www.economagic.com/. It houses a lot of time series

and you can easily copy and paste the graphs. Foreign born students can use the IMF’s data mapper at http://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/index.php?

db=FM. Just remember to cite the webpage you copy the graph from. After creating the graph I pasted it into powerpoint and then added the labels on top by

inserting textbooks and lines (other programs can do the same thing).
Sample graph on next page:
Example of Graph Timeline:
Note: I put 11 points on my graph, far more than I expect you to talk about in your 4 page paper. I did that to illustrate more examples. There is no

required amount of decisions to discuss. But if your paper covers around 3 – 5 decision, that should be good.

Identify and clearly state the problem (ORGANIZATIONAL TEAM DYSFUNCTION: LACK OF TEAM COHESION).
The problem statement should be phrased in terms of a researchable question. For example, if a work group is not performing effectively, an effective problem statement might be “How can group performance be improved?”

A well-formed problem statement has:

1. Focus: The problem should be well defined and specific enough for the reader to gain a clear idea of the leadership or organizational behavior topic area and the direction of your study and research. 2. Structure: If the problem statement is sufficiently focused, it will provide a basis for decisions about which information to include and which to exclude from the paper.

Research your topic and select at least three (3) peer-reviewed, scholarly resources that you could use to support your research project paper. Prepare an annotated bibliography with the references you selected. You are required to prepare an annotation for each article. Each annotation should consist of a review and critical analysis of the articles. Each annotation should be approximately one (1) page. In the review section of the annotation, you should provide a brief explanation of the article and its findings. In the critical analysis section, you should analyze the author’s methodology, findings, and/or conclusions. Also, you should include the value of each article provided. This portion of your project should consist of no less than three (3) pages. Be sure all references are presented in APA format.

For this assignment you will write an HIT policy statement that can be used by a hypothetical organization to ensure HITECH Act compliance. Prepare an HIT policy statement that can be used by a hypothetical organization to ensure HITECH Act compliance.
Steps
1. Use all available resources to understand the US federal HITECH Act of 2009, including web sites.
2. Consider the following scenario has happened at the hypothetical Central Health Care organization: a nurse complied with a family’s request to send the patient records of their daughter (who is a minor) to another family member who would share those records with another physician to obtain a second opinion about a serious procedure. The email with patient records attached was sent from the organization’s email server to a member of the (minor) patient’s family. This activity was discovered during an internal HIPAA audit of email records some three months after the email was sent.
2. Using a Microsoft Word document, prepare a policy statement that this organization can put in place to avoid this violation in the future. The policy statement should be a single paragraph, typically ranging from 50 to 300 words.
3. In 250 words or more, explain why you drafted the policy statement in this manner, e.g. what you did not include, what you would hope to accomplish with the new policy, etc.
4. References are not required; however, if you do use them, make sure that you use proper citations in accordance with the American Psychological Association (APA) guidelines, including a cover page, and a reference list. See the web site https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/10/
MAKE Sure
Completeness – did you comply with the requirements and steps?
Accuracy – does your policy statement and explanation reasonably reflect an approach that would help avoid a violation in the future?
Materials
In addition to the textbook, refer to http://policies.wayne.edu/policy-statement-examples.php for examples of a policy statement. You may also use any other resources for how to prepare a good policy statement.

City of Canton v. Harris
United States
489 US 378 (1989)

Type of Case:

What is the type of case that is being discussed? This is not the legal question that is being asked but it should be a statement regarding the nature of the case. Ex: This case deals with the issue of failure to train officers …

Facts of Case: (2-3 Paragraphs)

This is a summary of the facts as they were discussed in the case. What did the court discuss that was most important? Without reading the entire case this should give the reader adequate information to identify the facts and history surrounding what has brought the case to this point.

Legal Issue:

What is the legal issue that the case has been asked to address? What are the issues or questions before the court? Should be detailed and specific.

Holding and Decision:

This is what the court decided. What was the vote and what was the decision made by the court? Identify and explain the standard relied on or established

Rule:

This is the new law or rule that was set in place by the decision of the court. Discuss the case significance and its impact on the field

 

Technology

A technology is useless unless it is put to use. This is a crushingly obvious statement, but it does serve to remind us that a technology that never

makes it out of a laboratory or an inventor’s basement might as well not exist. We have recently discussed the process by which technologies are

introduced and then put into use. Here, we examine the method of diffusion, the process by which technologies make it into homes, factories, and so

forth. In this assignment, you discuss how a CEO makes technological decisions and the rationale behind those thought processes.

After reading the module notes and all supplemental materials, respond to following:

Scenario: You are a CEO of well-established and profitable software technology firm that has a choice to invest in one of two new software technologies;

one that promises modest profit with very little risk and another that may yield a very high profit but at considerable risk. Keeping in mind cultural

factors (social values/priorities, politics, economy, technology, regulation, etc.) answer the following:
•What would your choice be?.
•Who in your company might support the first technology and who might support the second? Think about individuals from all levels of the company, from

the CEO and board members down to R&D personnel..
•What considerations of your decision need to be made from a societal perspective? Consider individuals outside of the company itself..
•How might the type of industry affect this type of decision?.

Support your position using appropriate sources that are properly cited. Your paper should be 1-2 pages in length (not including title and reference

pages). It must be formatted according to APA standards [PDF, File Size 131 KB], 6th edition, including title and reference pages.
