For the analysis this question you will need to find an article online that describes an event that can be interpreted as a shock to the economy. A shock is something that disturbs the economy's equilibrium. You will then use the basic to predict the effects of the shock on all of the variables of interest: output, the interest rate, consumption, investment, real wages, and work effort. You should discuss the importance of the shock for the economy as a whole; that is, is it a large or a small shock. The answer must be based on an article from the last six months and should include a reference to the article. You cannot use graphs or jargon in the paper. Instead, you should make your work for an audience of intelligent lay people who, by misfortune, have not taken the principles of macroeconomics.
