I’m working on a macro economics writing question and need support to help me understand better.
The word limit is 500 words Times New Roman Size 12 Font Double-Spaced APA Format
hey I have attached the guideline. please have a look at it. read it carefully because this will tell you exactly what is needed in the assignment.
okay so the course concepts are as follows:
-financial aid
-microcredit
-Multiple equilibria due to network effects (creates a monopoly)
-Institutions promote development by regulation
-Geography plays a role in development
-Multiple equilibria, big-push style
-Productivity. “Innovation is crucial to productivity” and there may (or may not) be a role for government here.
-Poverty traps
okay so the rule is that these course concepts are to be used as insights and the 2 insights that you use cannot be similar at all.
and please let me know the topic which you will use. by this I mean, what will you put in the blank here, What ___________ can teach us about economic development.
also tell me which insights will you use.
you have to use two different sources and the sources cannot be 3 months old from today so that means you can use sources from January 2021
I am also attaching the mini opeds I have done which received a 8/10. these only used one insight so don’t be confused. it might give you some reference.
okay so this is a transcript from the lecture he gave on this assignment. might be of some support
- In that you’ve got a lot of ideas, you need to sort of fit into a limited amount of words so you’ll need to pay attention to writing clear sentences.
- 01:19Organizing and using simple words and what you’re going to do is slightly different from what you do every week in the meaning of ipads and, in particular i’m going to get you to write a mini iPad that’s got a title.
- 01:38This one SEC.
- 01:40that’s got a title what something can teach us about economic development Okay, so your title will.
- 01:48you’ll be filling in that blank and so i’ve just gone through some examples, and the reason i’ve chosen these examples will be clear shortly.
- 01:56So you might you know here I want you to feel free to pick a topic that you think is of particular interest to you okay so i’ve got no limits on this.
- 02:06So you might think of tech companies what tech companies can teach us about economic development, or what Sino US relations can teach us about development.
- 02:17Or you know what Judy free taxes can teach us about economic development there’s really no limitation to how you choose to feel that sentence and that’s how you will choose to title or your iPad.
- 02:29And so, your appeared will be the goal of it will be to change the way the reader, which is, as I say, think of a non ECON undergraduate students or someone that’s intelligent but doesn’t know the details of economic development.
- 02:45you’re going to change how they think about development by making the case that whatever you’re filling in the blank with can teach us something about economic development so that’s what you’re trying to convey.
- 03:00So here are the restrictions you’re trying to convey at least two lessons okay so each week in the mini op eds you do basically one listen, like you, you describe one insight from that week’s topic in the major writing assignment you’re going to describe at least two.
- 03:19Okay, to insights you get to choose those.
- The the somewhat challenging thing is that these two insights.
- 03:32down here now that, through these insights have to come from different topics.
- 03:37Okay, so I want you to sort of.
- 03:39search through the course pick two insights that are from different topics and you’re going to write about those and you’re going to claim that your topic so whatever you fill in the blank with will teach us those at least two insights.
- 03:56Okay, so you should have at least two new articles and these articles must come from the last three months, or sometimes during this semester.
- 04:05I didn’t write it here but it’s okay to use an article that you’ve already chosen, if you like, a doubt that’s going to be the best strategy, but.
- One component, there will be the second point here that you’re to insights that you choose from the course the best to insights will be ones that are very qualitatively distinct right because you’re trying to teach your reader.
- 05:06or trying to make the claim that something like, for example.
- 05:11tech companies can teach us at least two things about economic development and so it’s more interesting if those two things are sort of unrelated so what’s an example.
- 05:21So, if your insights were something like jogger free methods for malaria and average life expectancy is in poor countries is low.
- 05:29These are not very distinct different two different topics one from geography, one from the first week of basic facts but they’re not very distinct they’re clearly related so that’s really sort of the same inside.
- 05:39So that won’t score as high on that dimension, as would, if you would write about insights such as institutions, promote coordination that’s something we learned.
- 05:50This week, and you know behavioral poverty traps or anything that was from a couple of weeks ago those two insights a really unrelated to each other, so the fact that they’re unrelated makes it more interesting to read.
- 06:05And it makes the.
- search around some some recent articles and and the goal here is to.
- 13:43Combine.
- 13:46Your learning in a more holistic way so that you don’t think of will topic, one was about facts and topic today is about her doma, and these are all unrelated I want you to do some work and sort of see the ways in which.
- 14:00different ideas from different parts of the course.
- 14:03sort of go together and how they manifest themselves in real life examples.
- 14:09Through.
- 14:10yeah so.
- 06:08makes it easier for you to make the claim that you know what tech companies can teach us about economic development is a wide range of things, not just sort of basically one thing.
