Students will work in teams of four and act a ‘mini’ Federal Open Market Committee responsible for making a decision on the direction of short-term interest rates. As a team, students will research and gather information on the following economic indicators:
1. GDP
2. CPI
3. Nonfarm payroll employment
4. Industrial Production/Capacity Utilization
5. Advance Report on Durable Goods Shipments, New Orders, and Unfilled Orders
6. Housing Starts
7. Retail Sales
8. S&P 500 Stock Index
Based on this information, the team will write a report of 750-1,000 words, addressing the following items:
1. An analysis of current economic conditions
2. Expectations of economic, financial and international conditions for the near future
3. Identification of economic issues of special concern at the present time or in the near future
4. A recommendation as to whether short-term interest rates should be raised, lowered, or kept the same
The economic data required for this exercise can be found on the Federal Reserve Bank website at http://www.federalreserveeducation.org/resources/detail.cfm?r_id=55bf3f33-e0d3-4fe3-8fe7-5624997fc1cb
