The purpose of this work is for you to experience the process of making monetary policy

decisions. You will be in charge of adjusting the Federal funds rate with the goal of hitting two

macroeconomic targets: Keeping the unemployment rate close to a level of 5% (the so-called

natural rate of unemployment), and keeping the inflation rate near a 2% target rate.

To participate you need to visit the website located at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco

https://www.frbsf.org/education/teacher-resources/chair-federal-reserve-economy-simulation-

game/

At this site, you can gather additional information, or simply click on “Launch Game.” The

latter will take you to a page that provides details about how the simulation is played: I suggest

that you look over the “Your Job” page to get a feel for how the simulation works, what your job

is, etc. When you are ready to play, click on “Play Now” and this will take you to the simulation

site.

Everyone will start with the same data: The Federal funds rate is at 4.00%; the unemployment

rate is at 4.68%; and the inflation rate is at 2.11%. You begin the simulation by raising, cutting,

or leaving unchanged the Federal funds rate. Once you have made your decision, click on “Go”

and the effects of your decision are revealed by movements in the unemployment and inflation

rates. You will do this for 16 times (quarters) at which time the simulation is over, and you are

informed of whether you get to keep your job as Fed chair.

Your assignment is as follows:

1) Play the game (on your own!) five (

5

) separate times. Each quarter, write down your Federal

funds rate and the resulting unemployment and inflation rates. Once you have played the game

5

times, calculate the averages for your Federal funds rates, unemployment rates, and inflation

rates.

You must provide me with a spreadsheet of your data. If you do not, you will receive

zero points for this project.

(See attached for an example I did using three rounds. As you can

see, keeping the fund rate at 4% may not be the best strategy!)

2) Create two time-series plots: One is the average Federal funds rate and the average

unemployment rate; the chart shows is the average Federal funds rate and the average inflation

rate. (See attached are examples of the type of figures that I want.)

3) Discussion: In one page or less, explain how your policy actions changed from the first time

playing the game to the last. For example, did you try to offset changes in the unemployment

rate more than the inflation rate? How did you respond to the exogenous shocks over time? Was

this more difficult than you thought it would be? Did you keep your job? Keep some notes as

you play the game and see if your decision-making process changes with each simulation.

Please answer ONE of the following questions as coherently and completely as possible. In your response, please focus on developing a clear thesis supported by evidence primarily from the assigned primary sources using MLA in-text citations. Your response should be between 500-750 words and based on course material only, no outside sources are needed for this assignment. Please indicate the number of the question you are responding to on your assignment.

1. To what extent did the Crusade sources exhibit any genuine understanding of other people? Did they show any nuance in their portrayal of the “other”? (Choose at least two different assigned perspectives)
2. How do Procopius, Gildas, and the Burgundian Code demonstrate the Transformation of the Roman Empire? Be sure to point out both continuities and changes.
3. What features of Roman life does the graffiti from Pompeii bring to light? How do these features compare to those of the Germanic peoples described by Tacitus?

The health issue is the attached documents.

MAPP Model Needs Assessment and Identification of an FOA Presentation In this assignment, you will complete a public health needs assessment MAPP matrix template. Next, you will utilize the FOA that addresses the public health intervention that addresses your chosen topic. You will then create a PowerPoint presentation that demonstrates your chosen public health intervention and provides information about your MAPP matrix and the pertinent FOA.

Part I: Conduct an MAPP Matrix Needs Assessment

Conduct a public health needs assessment using the MAPP model. It will result in a MAPP matrix, which identifies a public health need in which you are personally interested.

All MAPP information can be obtained from the National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO) Web site at the following:

• National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO). (2012). Mobilizing for action through planning and partnerships (MAPP). Retrieved from http://www.naccho.org/topics/infrastructure/mapp/i…

Four assessments of the MAPP model and the issues they address are described below:

• Community Themes and Strengths Assessments: This assessment results in a deeper understanding of the issues that residents feel are important by answering the questions:

a. What is important to our community?

b. How is quality of life perceived in our community?

c. What assets do we have that can be used to improve community health?

• Local Public Health System Assessment (LPHSA): This assessment focuses on all the organizations and entities that contribute to the public’s health. The LPHSA answers the questions:

1. 1. What are the components, activities, competencies, and capacities of our local public health system?
   2. How are the essential services being provided to our community?

• Community Health Status Assessment: This assessment identifies priority community health and quality-of-life issues. Questions answered include:

a. How healthy are our residents?

b. What does the health status of our community look like?

• Forces of Change Assessment: This assessment focuses on identifying forces such as legislation, technology, and other impending changes that affect the context in which the community and its public health system operate. This answers the questions:

a. What is occurring or might occur that affects the health of our community or the local public health system?

b. What specific threats or opportunities are generated by these occurrences?

Part II: Identify Funding Opportunity

After you have completed your public health needs assessment matrix template, you will create a presentation that addresses the following:

• Identify your chosen public health intervention that relates to your MPH coursework.
• Explain how (using the MAPP Model) you completed the matrix template to identify your chosen public health intervention.
• Explain why the intervention is an important initiative.
• Identify whom the intervention will assist (target audience).
• Explain the general requirements of the FOA.
• Describe, at a high-level, your intended approach in response to your chosen public health intervention, if awarded this grant.

Develop an 8–10-slide presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint format. Be sure to use speaker notes at the bottom of each slide to provide detailed information. If you know how to insert an audio file, feel free to use that approach as well. Your goal is to fully inform your audience about your chosen public health intervention and chosen FOA. Utilize at least 3–5 scholarly sources in your research and be sure to include a references page. Cite all sources on a separate page using APA standards. Write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_W3_A2.ppt.

Submission Details:

• By the due date assigned, deliver your assignment to the Submissions Area.
• On a separate page, cite all sources using the APA format

Choose one of the following companies:

• Amazon,
• Apple,
• McDonald’s,
• Tesla,
• Facebook,
• Walmart, or
• Target.

Research your chosen company, and then briefly summarize the history of the company from start-up until the present time. Be sure to include some information about how much it has grown and why this growth has occurred. Then, develop and elaborate your own theories as to how boundaries and framing may have affected some of the decisions that led the company to where it is today. Be sure to include the following elements in your case study:

• how bounded awareness can improve the decision-making process,
• at least one example of boundaries exhibited by the company, and
• at least one example of framing concerning the company.

Your case study should be a minimum of two pages in length, and it should be formatted according to APA guidelines. Please include the following three headers in your case study: Introduction and History of the Company, Example of Boundaries, and Example of Framing. You must include at least two academic references to support your work (the textbook may be one of those references). Any information from these resources must be cited and referenced in APA format.
