Select 2 research papers choosing 2 different countries published in refereed

journals related to topics studied in MACROECONOMICS in this unit.

It is strongly recommended that your research papers should be based on two different countries

e.g. if you plan to do research on monetary policy, you may select an article based on Australia and another one on China, U.S., U.K., Japan etc. To give your report a global perspective, you will be making a comparative analysis of the economy being chosen to deal with the current issue with some other economy. An example can be, monetary policy as a very effective tool in a country like Australia and monetary policy not so effective as a tool in a country like zimbabwe. In this example, you are comparing a success story of an economy with an economy that has failed and providing recommendations to the failing economy. A great topic could also be the recent global pandemic due to COVID-19 and how two different economies deal with the crisis using macroeconomic policies.

The report should have sections such as (1) short introduction (2) critical review for first article (3) critical review for second article (4) a comparative analysis of both the articles and (5) conclusion and recommendations based on the analysis followed by a reference section.

Also, attach a one page executive summary at the beginning of your report- this is optional.

The approximate length of the report is around two thousand words.

Give References at the end of the of the report.
