August 2024 Rent Report: Rents Slowly Rising Nationwide, but Falling in Sun Belt
Instructions
For term paper #2, you are required to pick a current (“hot”, widely discussed) economic event that relates to the material (topic) we have covered or will cover in this course.
This paper has to show your ability to apply the concepts you have learned in this class to the analysis of current events.
Stay away from purely theoretical articles. Rather, find an article that is talking about today’s (current) examples or applications of this topic.
Make sure to choose a topic from MICROeconomics, not MACROeconomics. For example, you can not write about such macroeconomic topics as unemployment, inflation, recession, exchange rates, immigration, etc.
You can’t use price discrimination OR the division of labor as your concepts of interest.
Research and find a NEWS ARTICLE that covers the event you have chosen. You can use an article online or offline from any reputable source. Make sure to provide a reference and a full link to this article in your paper.
Then, supplement it with another 2-3 sources that relate to the same econ concept as your main news article of choice.
Do not choose Wikipedia, Investopedia, and other similar online resources as your articles for the paper.
Write a review of the article and integrate course concepts into your review.
Relate your current event/news to as many different concepts that we have learned in the class, as you can.
Your paper should be structured as follows:
Cover page (add the title of the paper, your name, the course name, the school’s name, instructor’s name, and the date)
Introduction (discuss which topic you chose and why it interested you)
A Brief Summary of the Chosen Article
Discussion of How This Article Relates to the Topic Discussed in the Class (this should be the largest part of your paper). Pick and choose as many econ-related concepts covered in the class, as you can.
Conclusion
References
Make sure to break your paper down into sections and title each of the sections of your paper.
Do NOT include an abstract since it is mostly used in serious research papers, publishable papers, dissertations, etc. rather than in short student papers.
Please note that the best practice in academia is to use at least 3 sources in each of your essays. Such sources as Wikipedia, Investopedia, Study.com, etc., should NOT be used in your paper because they are not peer-reviewed and, therefore, might not be accurate or credible enough.
Complete your essay in a Microsoft Word document in APA, 7th Edition format.
Please note that a minimum of 700 words (excluding the cover page and references) for your essay is required.
Your work will automatically be submitted to Turnitin for plagiarism check and AI generation check.
