Discussion Post: Macroeconomics
You will discuss how you are affected by fiscal policy. For instance, you could write about how infrastructure projects in your community affect you and your community, and then how they affect the economy as a whole.
• Identify and explain an important infrastructure project in your city, state, or region that is currently underway or being discussed. Such a project could be an airport, a highway, a bridge, a light rail or subway system, a tunnel, new school buildings, new landfills and so on.
• Include information about the expected costs of the project, and how public spending on the project could stimulate the economy in your area. How would the multiplier effect work here? Do you think that spending on such a project would create new jobs beyond the project itself?
The response must include a reference list. Using one-inch margins, double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font and APA style of writing and citations.
