Description
Objective
– To review a published article from a reputable media source, addressing economic theory and
policy topics. The aim is for you to apply the theory we have learned in class so far.
Details
– The article should not be more than 3 years old, and should be from a reputable print media
source, such as The Economist, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles
Times, etc. Please check with me if you are not sure.
– Two students cannot review the same article. Therefore, once you have decided on an article,
post the article title, source and date on the Sakai/Courses forum that has been created for this
assignment. You will have the option to change the article, but make sure you update Sakai if
you do.
– Length should be about 1.5-2 pages double spaced, 1 inch margins, 12 font, Time New Roman.
– Start with a summary of the article. Then analyze it from a theoretical point of view. Lastly,
express your opinion if applicable.
– You may use other articles and material to support your review but you must cite and list
references.
– When you are done with the review, email it to me in a pdf file.
– NOTE: It is very important that you pick an article you can relate to a topic we covered in
this course and not just economics in general.
Example article
– In the “Article review” tab on Sakai you will find an article I selected from a quick search.
– Article: Tesla’s Tiered Pricing Is a Hurdle, but a Fair One. New York Times. October 27, 2017.
– If anyone wants to use this article, please feel free to do so but don’t forget to post it so that
someone else does not start to work on it as well.
– Lastly, I am available to help with ideas and resources for articles.
