ECON 0858 (The American Economy)
Your Issue paper is to be NO MORE THAN A THREE PAGE DETAILED on the topics you select.
Don’t be afraid of going to the writing center for some help and guidance in putting together your
Issue Paper.
In your Issue paper, you need to include: (1) your topic, (2) your position on the topic, (3) economic
arguments against your position, (4) economic arguments for your position, (5) a concluding
paragraph, and (6) at least three citations NOT including the textbook.
You are to submit your Issue Paper on May 10th, 2017 (Electronic version only). Points will be
deducted if they are handed in late.
Your grade will be a function of the economic arguments you present both against and for your
position and your economic reasoning in support of your position. For more detail, check the rubric
which is on Blackboard. Your tone should be that of an economic policy maker (e.g., the chair of
the Council of Economic Advisors, or the President of a branch of the Federal Reserve System), or
an expert economic consultant witness testifying for a client. THE POINT IS THAT YOU
SHOULD NOT GET INVOLVED IN EMOTIONAL ARGUMENTS THAT ARE NOT BASED ON
ECONOMIC REASONING.
IMPORTANT: USE MULTIPLE RELIABLE SOURCES OTHER THAN THE TEXTBOOK. THIS IS AN ECONOMICS CLASS. USE ECONOMICS TO SUPPORT YOUR POINTS. USE REAL DATA (PROPERLY CITED) TO SUPPORT YOUR POINTS.
Possible topics that you may select for your Issue Paper are listed in another document on
Blackboard.
