This week, you need to refer again to the economic data of the country you chose and relate it to week 3’s material. Specifically, you need to respond to the following questions:
2. What is the country’s currency? What is the exchange rate with the dollar? Does it have a floating or fixed exchange rate, or does it use the dollar as its currency?
3. Who are its’ main trading partners? Is foreign investment important for them? Does the country have a trade deficit or surplus? What percent of the GDP are exports? (you can just divide the value of exports by the GDP).
4. Using the information about unemployment, inflation (Week 2 report), and trade, what is your general assessment of the country? Are they experiencing stability and growth or an economic crisis? Please use your own words.
Each week your post must be in a report format, not in a Q&A format. So remember to use paragraphs and a report structure to your post.
—————————
1) Your research paper this week should be between 250 and 350 words. Shorter submissions will be penalized. Longer posts are acceptable only if the extra words add substance to your report. At the bottom of your post, you should include a word count (how many words are in your post).
2) Structure your paper as a report. Do use multiple paragraphs. Do NOT attach your report, instead type it into the text box on the research assignment board.
3) You must cite all the information used in your report and include the sources in your reference listing
