Economic Issue in the Real world.
Paper, Order, or Assignment Requirements
You are required to give a presentation in your seminar class in week 7.
Task
Your group will demonstrate its understanding of economic issues in the real world.
Each group will look at an allocated country, and focus on the economic performance of this economy, from 2004-2014.
Specifically, you will need to show:
- How the economy has performed in the key economic indicators (growth, inflation and unemployment).
- What factors have influenced the performance of the economy.
- Whether policy decisions have helped to make matters better or worse.
Each presentation should last for around 10 minutes, and will be followed by questions from your class teacher.
Your group will provide a copy of the slides to the teacher at the start of the presentation.
Preparation
You should find a group from members of your seminar class, but those students who haven’t done so will be allocated a group in seminar in week 2.
Choice of Country
By the end of class in week 1, your group will be randomly allocated a country from a list provided the Teacher.
Marking Criteria
The marking criteria are shown in the next section, and a score will be allocated to each group. All group members must be present during the presentation. The first 4 categories will be graded by the Teacher. The group have the opportunity of peer marking in category 5, meaning that the contribution of individual members can be recognised.

In addition, you can use information from organisations such as the OECD and the IMF. The graphs and charts can be adapted, and the indicators should be explained.
- ii) Performance Factors
The reasons for the movements in the indicators should be explained in this section.
