I thought I'd be kind and offer my inability to decide on which essay question to do; to the masses. It's 2000 words and I'll have it done by the weekend, either;

1. Examine why bond prices may be influenced by the unemployment rate.

or

2. How might inflation affect a country's exchange rate?

It's up to you, I don't mind which I do as I'll be fine with either, I just thought I'd lower the standards of GD's spec me threads even further and ask which to do? 1 or 2? Which sounds more interesting & why? :p
 
I've already written about 400 words of the 2nd question, but after this mornings seminar I seem to be the only one not doing the 'bond prices' question, due to most of our class just doing the work that was in the first lecture/seminar of the semester; the slackers.

Both relevant issues though with 1 regarding interest rates and 2 regarding strength of pound vs euro vs dollar and also Mugabe's case of a country Zimbabwe, like Germany back in the day before WW1. Think I'll stick with 2, and be an individual about it all.
 
Most if not all of the people have opted for question 1, purely because it was explained well in the first seminar and lecture of the semester. For me I find question 2 more interesting; but most people hate economics in my group; I think it's awesome.

So onwards with question 2 me thinks, thanks. I'm armed with 3 different copies of the Economist, an 'Economics for Business' book, and a myriad of information from Google Scholar; shame some stuff is from the 80s when it was such a different world.

(It's only my first year but I'm aiming for first. Might as well try stand out now with the different essay. :p)

Check your library for a "Macroeconomics" by Blanchard, that should be pretty helpful, as will Economics by Sloman. Check Jstor as well if your uni uses it, although from the sounds of it, a lot of the articles might be a bit over your current level.

I've got the Sloman book and I'll have a look for Blanchard think I've used it before.

I haven't heard about Jstor but if they're over my level then that sounds perfect, me loves a challenge. Written half of it now :)
