The purpose of this brief paper is to explain one economic principal that is covered in a short newspaper or magazine article. Please Do not use multiple sources. The article must be recent--no more than 3 months old.This is NOT a research paper. Simply a demonstration, in writing, recognizing economic principles in the real world.
Please Do NOT just summarize the article.
Describe how that story / article demonstrates an economic principle, shows an economic model in the real world, or illustrates some economic law.
Examples:
How does the article support the Simple Circular Flow model?
How does the article support the Law of Supply and Demand?
You could also address issues such as long-run growth, inflation, closing recessionary/contractionary gaps, fiscal or monetary policy, etc.
You could look ahead: How does this particular article display / illustrate the major business structure models (Monopoly, Monopolistic Competition, Oligopoly, or Perfect Competition)?
The article can be about anything. Do NOT use the word “I”; write this as you would a business presentation/paper. Think about how a newspaper article is written or your book is written –they rarely use the words “I,”“me,”“my,”or “we.”
