You will create a power point presentation in order to inform the President of the latest economic data and a general assessment of the phase of the business cycle the economy is currently in. You will then make your policy recommendations to the president within the body of the power point. Standards and Criteria for Success: The presentation will be assessed on the completeness and accuracy of your data on GDP, unemployment, and inflation. The analysis of the state of the economy (phase of the business cycle) will need to be clearly supported. Your recommendations to the President on fiscal policy should flow effectively from your analysis and also be well supported and persuasive. Make sure you proofread your power point -- you don't want to appear unprofessional
