The unit planner and study guide contains the due date for this assessment. You are to choose a major ECONOMIC POLICY DILEMMA facing the UNITED STATES COUNTRY and prepare a report which will be used as a policy briefing paper by a senior decision maker in business (e.g. the CEO of a board).
Your report should include the following elements:
1. A one page executive summary at the beginning of your paper.
2. A clear introduction setting out the context and purpose of your report, including the intended recipients to whom it is being distributed.
3. A clear, focused question specifying the policy dilemma to be addressed in your report. This should demonstrate your understanding that a ‘dilemma' is a situation in which all available options are associated with potential disadvantages. That is, dilemmas do not have ‘costless' solutions.
4. The identification and use of key sources of data and evidence relevant to understanding the dilemma and its implications.
5. An analysis of the data which utilizes appropriate economic theory to gain insights and assess the costs and benefits of the different options available to the senior decision maker. Part of this analysis should include consideration of the individuals or groups likely to bear the identified costs and benefits of the available options.
6. A conclusion that includes recommendations to address the policy dilemma.
Your report should observe all appropriate conventions for academic writing, including correct referencing. You are welcome to use charts and tables as visual aids but if you do so, they should be integrated into the discussion of evidence and/or analysis of your report.
