Macroeconomics in the Era of Covid-19

Background
Read the following article in detail. Link to article: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/05/06/business/us-debt-deficit-coronavirus/index.html
Question 1
The article talks about “an invisible dog fence” reference by Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. What does this refer to, why is it important, and where do you think this “fence” is? Provide evidence to support your argument.
Question 2
One possible longer-run outcome once the economy improves is that we see United States bond interest rates to be low, while inflation increases. Describe how you think this situation would affect investment decisions. (Hint: Think about investment in real terms, using net present value calculations.)
Please submit assignment in word or pdf format.
A few notes:
• Please try to limit your answers to 100-150 words per question.
• Cite TWO additional articles to back up your arguments. The original CNN article or any links from that article do not count.
• Although you can talk to other students about the general ideas of the mini-project, the work must be your own.
• There are likely multiple strong answers to each question. Assignment will be graded not on the answer itself, but on having strong economic arguments to support the answer.

Graduate Development Strategy (GDS)

Graduate Development Strategy

Instructions

Your Graduate Development Strategy (GDS) represents a clear but flexible plan that defines your professional development goals and guides your professional future direction. In simple terms, you will draw on your learnings from this unit, and the skills you have developed in your undergraduate studies, in order to create a personal strategy on how to achieve your career goal that you have identified in the unit

You will integrate Thomlinson’s Graduate Capital in the reflection of your learned experiences at Monash and key takeaways from BEX3500, and reflect on how you have developed the discipline specific skills.

Your GDS will have the following important aspects:

  • Identification of your vision by referring to your Individual Professional Purpose, and reflecting on your own strengths and weaknesses that relate to your professional development goals.
  • A critical reflection of your ‘most significant change’ and how this has impacted your development, as well as articulation of strategies for continuous improvement based on your experience.
  • Analysis of both your team and individual performance in the project, and the extent to which you have demonstrated learning growth as a result of the experience.
  • Identification of your end goals, with specific reference the resources you may require in order to overcome predicted challenges and appropriate deadlines that you have set.

While you will use reflective writing skills, you may present your GDS in the way that you feel clearly outlines your individual professional future direction.

The word limit for your GDS is 2000 (+/- 10%)
