The US economy is still recovering from the recent “great recession”. People have been debating about this recovery: “Are we out yet?; how long will it take?; we could have been but the recent government policies have prevented it; no without the help of the government, it could have been worse, and so on….”

Your friend is asking: “You are taking economics course, right; could you tell me if we are out of the recession, where we are, and what needs to be done?, who will do what?, are we doomed?”
In any event, do you think you could share your ideas, thoughts, concerns (think like an economist)?

1. Some background on the country: where it is located, GDP, most important economic sectors

2. The structure of the financial system: most important institutions, most important markets

3. If you find, provide some data for markets (size of the stock market, what market is the most important one when firms need funds, etc)

Don’t forget to add all the sources used for the research.

Analyze 1 of the following government intervention programs:

Countercyclical fiscal policies (countering economic disruptions such as the housing bubble and the Great Recession)
US agriculture support programs
Assistance for Low Income Families (choose 1)
Housing vouchers
Earned Income Tax Credit (including Child Tax Credit)
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Low income healthcare (choose 1)
Medicaid (including Children’s Health Insurance Program).
Affordable Care Act expansion
Social insurance programs (choose 1)
Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI)
Medicare
Unemployment insurance

Write a 700- to 1,050-word summary of your analysis. Identify the intervention and the market failure leading up to the intervention. Complete the following in your paper:

Analyze the arguments for government intervention as opposed to arguments for market-based solutions.Hint:See the information about market failures.
Examine who has been helped and who has been hurt by the selected government intervention.
Examine externalities and unintended consequences of such intervention. For example, consider whether the SNAP program and health coverage for low-income families result in higher future tax revenues because low-income children grow up healthier and produce higher incomes over their lifetimes.
Analyze whether cost of the intervention you selected as a share of GDP or the number of participants is increasing,decreasing, or varies with the state of the economy, based on the cost trend(or number of participants) since its inception or since 2000.
Analyze credible economists opinions on the success or failure of the intervention that you chose in achieving its objectives.
Recommend whether the program should be continued as is, discontinued, or modified based on your conclusions. Defend your recommendation.

Note: Use of charts and graphs is encouraged with appropriate citations. Any charts or graphs retrieved from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis FRED website may only be included when the data sources used by FRED are US government sources such as the Bureau of Economic Analysis or the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Cite at least 2 academically credible sources. 

One is the introduction of the beginning, which needs to define the scope of the topic
The second paragraph is about the general situation of China and the United States

Rememberyou only need to complete the first two parts of this paper

“Annotated Bibliography” document is the bibliography instructions
“Annette’s Annotated Bibliography” document is the professor’s sample
My economic essay topic is international trade so I hope all the sources will support this topic. my economic essay is related to swift’s essay ” a modest proposal” so the bibliography sources must use for my future economic essay.

The structure follows the sections of a short paper and contains the following distinguishable sections: Abstract, Introduction, Argument and Analysis of Evidence, Conclusion, References and Tables and Figures. Your paper MUST include ONLY these six sections, do not add other sections with other titles.
The paper should be no more than 2 pages (single spaced, Times New Roman, font 12) from the Introduction to the Conclusion. These two pages do not include the pages for the title, abstract, references and tables/figures.
1) Abstract:
In a paragraph explain the argument of the paper, its logic and the concepts that are illustrated in it.
2) Introduction:
The introduction should be just one paragraph long. It should set the relevance of the topic and finish with the main question you want to answer. The introduction must end with the research question paper in explicit question format.
3) Argument and Analysis of Evidence:
The microeconomic analysis section should be the longest in the paper and it is the most important in terms of learning objectives.  Do not include tables and figures here, those should be placed in the F section. In this section you should present the theoretical elements applied to your firm or industry and the evidence (quantitative and qualitative) that supports your arguments.
For a Demand-Supply paper make sure you apply key terms and concepts related to quantity demanded, shifts of demand, elasticity, marginal analysis, preferences of consumers, supply, shifts of supply, production process, cost structure, market equilibrium, consumer and producer surpluses.
4) Conclusion:
This is the section that shows your deep understanding of your case and must be directly related to the research questions in the introduction. The conclusion should be just one paragraph long and must answer the research question explicitly. You can also expand on the implications of your answer and predict something about the future.
5) References:
Include all references used in the paper.
6) Tables and Figures:
All visuals and tables are placed in this section.
APA Style:
We will use thespecific APA style used by the Journal of Research on Innovation Teaching (JRIT),a journal supported by National University.

So, Idecided that you will use the JRIT instructions to write your paper. Thecomplete details of it are in a separate document entitled APA-Style-JRIT in Course Resources. Use this JRIT APA style format and style fortitles, subtitles, tables, figures, paragraphs, font size, references,footnotes, all sections including the abstract.

The following prompt is based on an interview about cost effectiveness research with Professor Weinstein from the Harvard School of Public Health.

Why are some expensive treatments (like lung transplants and pap smears) considered to be bad value and other expensive treatments (like aromatese inhibitors, an expensive class of drugs to treat breast cancer) to be good value?
What can the U.S. do to address the problem of overusing medical care that is not cost effective, and why isnt the U.S. doing this already?
