References Introduction For the benefit of the incoming administration, I submit this report to document, analyze, and interpret the macroeconomic policy decisions I made as the chief economic policy advisor of Econland. The purpose of this document is to further our national prosperity by deepening our understanding of the relationship between macroeconomic policies and their consequences for our citizens. The report includes a thorough accounting of the major fiscal and monetary policy decisions made over each of the seven years of my term, as well as an explanation of the underlying rationales for those decisions and the resulting impacts of those policies. [Replace this area with Table 3 from your simulation report.] Table 1.1 The table above summarizes the macroeconomic climate of Econland over my term. [Add a two- to three-sentence summary specifying which underlying scenario you chose, as well as your overall performance and approval ratings as the chief economic policy advisor of Econland based on your simulation results.] Fiscal Policy: Taxation [Replace this area with an image of Table 1 from your simulation results.] Table 2.1 [Insert your responses to the following: Explain the intent of the taxation policy decisions you made of your seven-year term. What were the macroeconomic principles or models that influenced your decision making?] [Identify the impact of your changes to the income and corporate tax rates. How were consumption and investment affected by your tax policy decisions?

Why and how are the impacts of monetary and fiscal policies different in a closed economy versus an open economy? Support your claims with specific details from your course reading.] Conclusions [Insert your overall conclusions about the relevance and significance of macroeconomics. Assess the effectiveness of your economic policy decisions. Did your economic policy decisions produce the anticipated results?
