You will do research on some macroeconomic topic. The presentation will be made using PowerPoint slides.

Each project should have one particular focus, based upon a topic chosen from the list below:

1. Productivity and economic growth - How has the Canadian economy performed in the first decades of the 2000s compared to the last few decades of the 1900s?

2. Government's role in the macroeconomy - How far should it go?

3. Inflation - Can our economy continue its low inflationary environment?

4. Inflation and interest rates - Is the Bank of Canada doing too much or too little?

5. Canada trade deficits - What effect do they have on our economy?

6. Unemployment and inflation - Is there a trade-off?

7. International trade - What effect on Canada economy?

8. Employment problems - Will Canada face labor shortages in the next decade?

9. Budget Surpluses and Deficits - What should policy makers do about them?
