Economics Assignment

The organization's strategic plan you wrote about in Week 2 calls for an aggressive growth plan, requiring investment in facilities and equipment, growth in productivity, and labor over the next five years. It is your individual responsibility to determine how the U.S economy during this five-year period will impact such an aggressive growth plan. To do so, you individually(without your team) should:

Develop a 1200-1500-word economic outlook forecast that includes the following:

• Analyze the history of changes in GDP, savings, investment, real interest rates, and unemployment and compare to forecast for the next five years.

• Discuss how government policies can influence economic growth.

• Analyze how monetary policy could influence the long-run behavior of price levels, inflation rates, costs, and other real or nominal variables.

• Describe how trade deficits or surpluses can influence the growth of productivity and GDP.

• Discuss the importance of the market for loanable funds and the market for foreign-currency exchange to the achievement of the strategic plan.

• Recommend, based on your above findings, whether the strategic plan can be achieved and provide support.

Use a minimum of 3 peer-reviewed sources from the University Library. In addition, include your textbook and other sources of factual information. Analytical charts and data charts are highly valuable contributions to your assignments.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
