The U.S. economy is over a decade removed from the Great Recession. For several years after the Great Recession officially ended, the U.S. grew at an historically slow rate. Analyze the causes of the slow increases in U.S. GDP. Include in your paper:
An analysis of the monetary policy approach the Federal Reserve took to the recovery
An analysis of the fiscal policy approach the Federal Government took to the recovery
An analysis of how the attempts to influence GDP in the short-run negatively affect GDP in the long-run
An explanation of why the unemployment rate dropped rapidly in the United States despite low rates of increases in GDP
An identification, as appropriate, of the economic principles (from Module 1) that factor into your analysis
