The goal of this project is to demonstrate the knowledge that you've obtained in your Economics 1 course. To complete the project, you'll need to research a foreign currency and an ETF for an emerging market that you find interesting, per- form a macroeconomic analysis of the currency, and write a paper that summarizes your analysis.

Instructions

Step 1: Select a foreign currency as described above.

Step 2: Perform your research. The content of your text- book can be one of your sources. However, your paper should also include at least four independent and reliable sources. Use general Internet search engines and financial search engines to perform your research.

Step 3: Perform your macroeconomic analysis on the material. Remember that you need to provide an analysis of your chosen currency against the U.S. dollar over the 5-year period ending with 2010.

Step 4: Write a first draft of your paper. Your paper should be written using a word-processing program, such as Microsoft Word or a Word-compatible program. Your essay should include a separate title page, and between three and five pages on your topic. The essay should include a brief introduction, several paragraphs that cover the required infor- mation, and a conclusion. The last page after the main body of the essay should provide a list of your reference sources.
