- A narrative body that includes:
- An economic analysis that uses the tools developed in the course along with your graphical depiction of the economics applied to your topic. Provide an explanation of the graphical analysis. Don’t leave it to the reader to figure out your intention. The specific analysis will depend on your chosen topic.
- Statistics that support your topic and narrative.
- Conclusion and a brief summary.
Use current APA formatting for your paper including these elements:
