Congratulations! You've landed a nice gig as a policy analyst for the Suburban-Metropolitan Institute of Legislation and Economic Studies (SMILES), one of the foremost economic think-tanks hired by Senators, Governors, and multi-national organizations to help them understand the economic influences affecting their stakeholders. One of the firm's clients has commissioned a short research project, a brief, on the current state of the economy and possible policy implications going forward to help them know what to legislate and lobby for. This brief should be about 1,000 to 2,000 words; about a page, page-and-a-half, per section described below. Remember, pictures are worth a thousand words. Graphs are good. Keep in mind that our framework for discussing the macro-economy is Aggregate Supply / Aggregate Demand. Frame your discussion in those terms
