The topic should be narrow in focus. The paper should NOT be a general discussion of the economic health of the nation. You are not expected to provide solutions to an economic problem.

Present the information in the last part of the paper. Before you discuss the numbers you collected, the reader should already know the concepts and terms that will be used to discuss the numbers collected by you. Cite your sources: each number each fact used in your paper should have a source; If you make any calculations, you must show how you arrived at your numbers.
