    i'm in Macroecon 101, do you think you can help me figure out what I can say about the unemployment crisis in the US/possible ways to solve it?

    21stCentury

    Some questions:

    How long does the paper need to be?

    Does your professor have a clear ideological bent?

    Are you comfortable writing against the beliefs of your professor if your beliefs don't match?

    What have you covered in Macro 101?

    Generally you can trust Ronya on this, but my feeling is always to go simple and straight forward and not kvetch about which worldview you're working with. I.E. make the analysis and solution as simple as possible.

    For me this generally means a Keynesian type framework that doesn't have any micro foundations.

    It's not paper, it's, like, a page-long "essay" question.

    My professor is firmly living in Reality (He is keynesian). I don't feel bad writing against his beliefs, or even mine.
    We covered Aggregate Supply and demand, Unemployment, Inflation, How the Bank of Canada works and the monetary system and we ended with a brief overview of Budgets and Monetary policies, but we didn't see a lot, mostly just the Gov't Spending Multiplication effect.

    What's your advice, Goum? It's probably gonna be above my level too, right? :P

    As long as you understand what everything you just listed means, you can squeeze a page-long response to an article on unemployment no problem.

    You got dis.

    Allegedly a voice of reason.

    Also, I did the Multiple choice questions for the chapters we cover, since the prof is known to take those for the first half of his exams...

    Went from 68% to 89% by studying today.

    I feel confident about the multiple choice section. :)

    @Ronya

    Since you had some time, any thoughts on my essays/notes I sent you?

    I posted some comments soon after in [chat], I thought!

    Lemme dig them up again...

    You did, just some quick thoughts. Wondered if you had any other thoughts since you said you were a bit busy.

    I'm a little reluctant to formulate any disputes because I don't think the arguments are constructed to be solid inasmuch as to demonstrate a literature review. Which is fair. You said you don't write to your own views either. I still disagree with much of the two essays, as I remarked earlier, but any good literature review will generate that. Otherwise there's nothing to motivate further talk :rotate:

    I will remark that the worldview taken is quite alien and the sensation I get often when reading political science talking about international trade - that the analysis is presuming a macroeconomics that deviates in important but subtle ways from any school of macro thought I know - lurks in both papers. Given that economists talking about the political aspects of international trade seem quite content to handwave as well, I sometimes wonder whether the lack of mutual awareness is leading us to miss something obvious.

    Okay, I think i'm ready for my final tomorrow. Only thing left is to decide what song I want playing in my head while i do it.

    Right now, i have Another Winter from the Scott Pilgrim video game in my head, but should I go for a classic 8-bit song like the Moon from Ducktales? Or perhaps go for something more classic rock, like Hotel California?

    Ah, so many songs I could have stuck in my head, but which one's the right one for tomorrow?
