Im writing a signature assignment that explores issues through the collection of data and analysis of evidence. my s signature assignment consists of students gathering data located on the National Bureau of Economic Research website: http://www.nber.org/cycles.html.

1. Using the information from the NBER website (or any website as long as i provide the link to the site), how can i graphically determine and explain the following issues:

1. How the business cycle has been changing in recent decades
2. If the overall length of cycles has been changing
3. If recessions have been getting longer or shorter

2. I need to find an article in a major business publication, (for example, the Wall Street Journal, Barron's, the Harvard Business Review, Forbes)that describesan event that may affect the U.S. price level (hint: the main cause of recent inflation hike is discussed all over source, just Google the concept) and real GDP. i need to Draw an initial set of AD and AS curves and determine which curve(s) will be affected and in which direction it will shift as a result of the AD/AS factors or policies. i need to predict what will happen to price level and real GDP and then explain my answer.
