After the ceremony, all of the guests would head into the dinner; with no surprise Strother would stop me and ask me what the three macroeconomic problems are. I would stop and laugh and then with zero hesitation rattle off: recession, unemployment, and inflation, then very sarcastically say you can’t trick me, even ten years later. Once we finished the business of macroeconomics at hand Strother and his wife would go and enjoy an extremely fun night at my wedding party and he would no longer bug me about knowing the three macroeconomic problems, as he was so impressed that he caught me after my wedding and I was

From the time I was young, I have always been fascinated by other countries and the world. Over the years, this interest has formed the foundation for my interest in economics, politics, and world affairs. This interest in world affairs has definitely helped, and quite clearly shown in my participation in Whiz Quiz. Whiz Quiz is a quiz bowl style tournament where me and my three other teammates face an opposing team while listen to questions and buzzing in before the other team to get the answer. A large number of question were related to current event which played right up to my strengths. One of my favorite memories that deals with this is from a couple of years ago.

In this week's lesson we learn about the three primary concerns when analyzing macroeconomics inflation, unemployment and gross domestic product (GDP). When discussing inflation in the economy we understand that it is a major factor that it plays in today's economy.

Little inflation is good for the economy because this will allow companies to raise their employee's hourly wages. Too much inflation could be caused by the high demand for goods or service. Therefore, if the demand is high and the production is the same the price of the supply will increase. Consumers will continue to spend their money because they

The unfortunate reality is that we are faced with economic situations that will be either helpful or hurtful to us all. Over the last few quarters between 2013 and 2014 the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), conducted an analysis that reflects the changes in GDP. During this time the Nominal GDP was much greater than the Real GDP.

Macroeconomic Analysis – Potential Effects on Economy. From 2001 to 2014 the total number of patients treated in the VA system increased from 5,124,168 to 9,111,955 per year, an increase of 78% (Erin, June 3, 2014, para. 4). The 2015 VA healthcare budget is 163.9 billion dollars, which includes all costs such as cost of construction, mandatory benefits programs, information technology, discretionary benefits programs, and medical programs for veterans (VA.gov, 2015, graph 1-2). The benefits reaped by the U.S. economy are by the major stakeholders being paid for their services provided to veterans, while the government gets paid through taxes. The veterans benefit by not having to pay total health care cost completely out of pocket. In addition to the dollar amounts, the veterans benefit because the VA can provide care for needs that are unique only to the military.
