ECO 202 Milestone Three SNHU US Monetary Policies: 1980-1990 For Milestone Three, you will research government monetary policies as they relate to your chosen 10-year historical period and present the information in 3–5 new slides for your presentation. Be sure to read the Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric to ensure you are covering the critical elements of this assignment. Speaker notes should be in dept. Please don’t be afraid to elaborate on the topic. I will need 5 slides not including the title and reference. Use the powerpoint providedExamine the monetary policies in place at the start of your specific time period in relation to their effects on macroeconomic issues. For instance,
consider the discount rate set by the Fed, the rates on reserves, open market operations, and so on.
 Analyze new monetary policy actions undertaken by the U.S. government throughout the time period by describing their intended effects, using
macroeconomic principles to explain the actions.
 Explain the impact of the new monetary policy actions on individuals and businesses within the economy by integrating the macroeconomic data and
principles. Presentation Title

Monetary Policy
This rubric element wants you to look at the monetary policies in place at the
start of your chosen decade.
• Remember that the Federal Reserve controls our monetary policy and they
have a four main goals:
1. Price Stability
2. High Employment
3. Economic Growth
4. Financial Market Stability
• The main tools the Fed uses are the decreasing or increasing of the money
supply (through open market operations, changing the required-reserve ratio,
and changing the discount rate) and changes to interest rates.
• Be sure to read up on these policy tools the Fed uses in our textbook and
check out this video for further understanding
• The San Francisco Federal Reserve and FRASER are valuable resources for
research on Federal Reserve history
• The Federal Open Market Committee (the part of the Federal Reserve that
controls open market operations) has site where you can access transcripts of
meetings and other historical materials – just enter the year you need!

Monetary Policy Actions
This rubric element wants you to examine what the monetary policy initiatives
were going forward, to respond to the changing economic landscape throughout
your decade.
• You should specifically state what the intent of the actions were – for instance,
the Fed may have used expansionary policy to help expand the economy in
response to a recession. Such policies could have been buying up government
bonds – this puts money into the economy since the Fed is buying these bonds
from a bank and then the bank can use that money in the economy. This openmarket operation increases the money supply.
• Then, use our macroeconomic principles and models (like the Supply and
Demand of Money model, AD-AS model to show impact of interest rates on
equilibrium GDP, Phillips Curve, etc.) to explain why the action would lead to
the outcome desired by the government.
• Keep the main points (and any use of graphs to show the economic models) on
the slide and use the speaker notes to add full explanation. Scholarly research
is required here as well – this may overlap with research from the previous
element, as appropriate. Please utilize those same resource links and our
Shapiro Library.

Monetary Policy Impact
After looking at what the Fed set out to do and why, you will now examine if it
actually worked.
• You will look at the macroeconomic data (which you already gathered in
milestone one – feel free to add more here if needed to support your analysis)
to see if policy actions achieved their goals. For instance, if the Fed raised
interest rates as a contractionary policy aimed at slowing down inflation, did
it work?
• There might also be examples of where the Fed misread the economic
landscape and initiated expansionary policy when they should have taken on
contractionary policy, or vice versa. Consider all actions taken by the Fed
during your decade and analyze their impact on the overall economy, paying
particular attention to GDP growth rates, unemployment and inflation.
• Also, consider how individual households and businesses were impacted by
the policy decisions. For example, if interest rates were increased, how did
this affect people’s ability to buy new homes or cars? How did it affect
business investment?
