Write Two commentaries, each commentary has to be of 750–850 words, based on a published “macroeconomic or economic” article from the news media. It is very important that your commentary shows your own line of (economic) reasoning and not simply a summary of the article or Sloman.
The commentaries must:
‒ Explain the linkages between each one of the articles and a macroeconomic or economic theory taken from (part of) a chapter of Sloman (which has to be part of the literature of the course – i.e. Ch 1, Ch2, Ch 3.1, Ch15, Ch20 or Ch24).
‒ Each article has to be linked to a different section or chapter of Sloman.
‒ Demonstrate economic insights into the implications of the article (that is, it should provide evidence of your ability to evaluate current events from the point of view of an economist).
Article
Article may be of any length, but you should highlight or underline the specific areas of the article that you have selected for discussion!! Do not use editorials, blogs or columns as an article.
You can select your own article from recent (publication date later than May 30th, 2022) issues of for instance the following magazines/ newspapers: The Economist, Newsweek, Business Week, Time, the International Herald Tribune, Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic Monthly.
If you select other source from the list above, you need approval from your lecturer before use.
Record Keeping
The commentary must contain a commentary cover sheet and a copy of the article. A cover sheet template can be found on Blackboard. The cover sheet should contain:
‒ the title of the article
‒ the source of the article
‒ the date of the article
‒ the word count of the commentary
‒ the section(s) of Sloman to which the commentary relates.
Grading
The commentary will be marked against the assessment rubric, which can be found on Blackboard.
N.B
· Good, proper and understandable English is a must!!!
· Read the ‘Guidance on the content of your commentary’ and ‘the checklist for students’, which can be found on the following pages, before you start writing!
· Read the ‘assessment criteria’, which can be found on BB, before you start writing.
· If the commentary is outside of the word limit requirement then marks will be lost. Everything except the coversheet and the list of literature used (according to the APA referencing system, taught in BC) is included in the word count.
Please consider that an Ouriginal plagiarism check will be conducted.
Guidance on the content of your commentary
It is important that you show how relevant concepts/the­o­ries relate to each article. In order to do this you will need to explain these concepts /the­o­ries by giving your Defi­ni­tions, Expla­nations, Exam­ples and Diagrams (DEED). Make sure to link these to your article and all in your own words! Finally, you will need to evaluate the theories and concepts used. In order to do this you may want to consider choosing one or two of the following options:
Con­clu­sions
What can we con­clude from the the­ory (that you’ve explained in your analysis)?
Short-term versus Long-term
Is the change good in the short-term, but in a few years it will have unde­sir­able consequences?
Will the pol­icy be really hard on peo­ple in the short-run, but does it fix the long-term problem?
Will this pol­icy fix one prob­lem, but cre­ate another?
Assump­tions
Are there some assump­tions being made, that the the­ory depends on that may not hold true? Explain what might change and how that would affect your analysis.
Tell us the weak­nesses in the theory?
What is unre­al­is­tic about the theory?
Stake­hold­ers
What effects would this pol­icy (i.e. an indi­rect tax) have on the gov­ern­ment, con­sumers, pro­duc­ers and the rest of society?
Poli­cies (i.e. price ceil­ings) are often made with par­tic­u­lar stake­hold­ers in mind, so are there unde­sir­able effects on other par­ties (i.e. price increases for consumers)?
Is the pol­icy great for some groups, but bad for others?
Pri­or­i­ties
Dis­cussing the pri­or­i­ties of a soci­ety, or the gov­ern­ment is also a good way to keep things in per­spec­tive. A pol­icy like sub­si­diz­ing schools is good for fam­i­lies, good for the long-term macro econ­omy, but bad for tax pay­ers who don’t have chil­dren, what are the pri­or­i­ties as a society?
Is there an impor­tant nor­ma­tive (i.e. val­ues aspect) that the the­ory doesn’t consider?
Pros and Cons
What are the advan­tages and dis­ad­van­tages of this policy?
What are the costs and the ben­e­fits of this policy?
What are the argu­ments for and the argu­ments against this policy?
This one is to double-check that you haven’t left any­thing out in the pre­ced­ing ones.
