In Chapters 17 & 18, we learn about Fiscal Policy and the Federal Budget. As you are well aware by now, our nation had to climb out of the deepest recession we have had over the last 80 years (the Great Recession was definitely the worst since the Great Depression). Going back to December 2007, when the recession first began, President Bush (in the last year of his presidency in 2008) initiated some policies. Then in 2009, President Obama was inaugurated and inherited the economy. What policies were initiated with regard to the recession that would be Fiscal Policy Tools by President Obama? Please post your own, original, specific links to articles, blogs, video, news footage, etc to support your point. Visit the links your colleagues are posting to learn about this event in our history.  Wikepedia and Investopedia are not acceptable sources! Neither are sites that have a bias or a mission of influencing politics. These sites include The White House (no matter who the President is, there is still a bias), The Heritage Foundation (conservative) and The Center for American Progress (liberal). Also, please do not simply do a Google search and pick the first thing that pops up, but actually do some research to answer this question. If too many people use the same source, I will not award full credit to those posting later. Finally, after learning about the National Debt, is there anything about it that you found interesting, or surprising? Explain!

Your supervisor has been asked many questions about how the economy works and why the idea of limited resources is such a major concern in today’s economy. As a result, she has asked you to prepare a report on the topics.

Specifically, your supervisor has asked you to prepare the following:

A circular flow diagram that includes the government sector. For this part of your report, you should include a description of the roles that each participant plays in the economy and how the different sectors interact in the markets.

An illustration of the Production Possibilities model, including a summary of what the model is illustrating and the economic implications for the economy.

An explanation of why or why not trade with other countries is beneficial to an economy and how international trade fits into the circular flow diagram.

An explanation of the difference between micro and macro economics, indicating why the division is necessary.

Deliverables: Prepare a 5-6 page Microsoft Word document that addresses the above tasks and meets APA standards. Include a summary section in your report that contains 5-7 bullet points identifying your major findings or conclusions of your paper. Include the full report as an attachment to your posting. Please acknowledge all resources

McAllister et al. (2012) compared varsity football and hockey players with varsity athletes from noncontact sports to determine whether exposure to head impacts during one season have an effect on cognitive performance. In their study, tests of new learning performance were significantly poorer for the contact sport athletes compared to the noncontact sport athletes.

The following presents data similar to the results obtained. Data are the scores of a neurological test. Higher scores indicate better performance.

Type of sport

Noncontact Sport Athletes Contact Sports Athletes
10, 8, 7, 9, 13, 7, 6, 12 7, 4, 9, 3, 7, 6, 10, 2

Computations by hand

a. What are IV and DV in this study?

b. Compute the mean and the standard deviation for each condition (show your work). (use the definition formula to compute each SS)

c. Are the neurological test scores for contact sport athletes significantly different from the neurological test scores for noncontact sport athletes? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.

1) State the null hypothesis in words and in a statistical form.

2) State the alternative hypothesis in words and a statistical form.

3) Compute the appropriate statistic to test the hypotheses. Sketch the distribution

with the estimated standard error and locate the critical region(s) with the critical value(s).

4) State your statistical decision

5) Compute Cohen’s d. Interpret what the d really means in this context.  

6) Compute 95% CI (2).

7) What is your conclusion? Interpret the results. Do not forget to include a statistical form (e.g., t-score, df, α, Cohen’s d)
