The International Monetary Fund urged the U.S. Federal Reserve to delay raising short-term interest rates until 2016, arguing that acting too soon could stall the U.S. economy, especially in the wake of recent global turmoil. Students learn about the dangers raised by the IMF about implementing contractionary monetary policy too soon given current domestic and global conditions. More generally, you can weigh the pros and cons of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates in 2015 using a short-run macroeconomic framework.
1.What is the IMF? What are its responsibilities?
2. (i) What warning did the International Money Fund make this week concerning U.S. monetary policy? (ii) When does the IMF want the Fed to start raising interest rates?
3. What specific reasons did the IMF give for its recommendation? In other words, what negative consequences does the IMF believe will result from the Federal Reserve’s upcoming action?
4. Is the IMF more worried about the effect of the Fed’s monetary policy action on the U.S. economy or on the global economy? Support your answer.
5. What is the main goal of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s upcoming monetary policy action?
6.Explain how the central bank’s action would affect U.S. unemployment and inflation in the short run. Include a well-labeled figure (the aggregate supply/demand model) with your explanation.
Write a two to three (2-3) page report (500-750 words) that describes the National Gallery of art in Washington D.C and provide a description of at least two (2) pieces (e.g., art, exhibits, music, etc.).
Provide a summary of the event and describe your overall reaction.
Use at least the class text as a reference (additional sources are fine, not necessary unless required by your content). Your report should include connections you make between things observed in your activity and things learned in the course and text.
Provide a summary of the event Use at least the class text from Hum 111 as a reference (additional sources are fine, not necessary unless required by your content). Your report should include connections you make between things observed in your activity and things learned in the course and text.
Visiting a Museum
It makes sense to approach a museum the way a seasoned traveler approaches visiting a city for the first time. Find out what there is available to see. In the museum, find out what sort of exhibitions are currently housed in the museum and start with the exhibits that interest you.
If there is a travelling exhibition, its always a good idea to see it while you have the chance. Then, if you have time, you can look at other things in the museum.
Every effort should be made ahead of time to identify a museum that has items and works one can easily connect to our HUM 111 class and book. Since HUM 111 covers from ancient times to the 1500s AD, it makes more sense to focus on items from that time frame. In general, museums with artistic cultural artifacts and fine arts work better than history museums.
Project description
research topics in the context of business that reflect their professional and
personal interests, and represent contemporary challenges in their field of studies. The topics should be
expressed in such way that they are researchable in scientific terms (focused and answerable
questions/issues) and realistic (amount of available and required information and data and reasonable
level of implementation requirements).
The research proposal is a planning document giving a rational and detailed descriptiong of their entire
research process and objectives.It should demonstrate a critical approach to the literature using an
appropriate range ofreviewed sources (academic papers, books, etc.) with the majority of them being
academic and professional work and referenced using the Harvard System. References should be used
where appropriate throughout the whole report.
The report should, also justify the students choice of research design. The student needs to justify
why s/he have selected certain types of research methods, including sampling and data collection if
s/he use primary data.

In the second part of your essay, you will be asked to explore the main thesis of
The New Ruthless Economy: Work and Power in the Digital Age, by Simon Head. In particular, you will be asked to explain what some of the features are of \”The New Economy,\” and the ways in which information technology has shifted the kind of work done by lower and upper level employees?
