Research Project 1
The purpose of this assignment is to review the professional
business and economic literature on the factors that affect inflation in
consumer prices. Our data set from Problem Set 1b includes observations on
inflation, GDP growth, unemployment, and money supply growth for several
countries. You should review the professional literature for evidence about the
relationships among these variables and other factors that may impact the
inflation rate.
For this assignment, you should gather at least 5 references
that provide information about factors that affect inflation rates for consumer
prices around the world.
After gathering the references, you should write a brief
two-page summary of the findings. The references should be listed at the end of
the document in alphabetical order by the first author’s last name. Also, each
citation mentioned in the document and included in the reference list should
follow APA format. For example, our course textbook would be cited in the
Research Project 2 reference list as:
Rosser, J. B.,
Jr., & Rosser, M. (2018). Comparative economics in a transforming world
economy, (3rd ed.). The MIT Press.
In summary, your submission for Project 1 should include a
literature review that incorporates five or more citations listed in alphabetic
order (by the first author’s last name). The completed review should contain
approximately two pages of double-spaced content.
