the policy paper

The term paper should be based on one of the following major economic policy issues covered in class:

1.    Health Care in Canada
2.    Canadas International Competitiveness 
3.    Canada Carbon Tax 
4.    Global Debt

In terms of guidance in writing the paper I suggest you examine the following questions in drafting your paper:

–    what the economic problem really is
–    what part of economic theory applies to it, if any
–    the current approaches of federal and provincial governments
–    the linkage between those approaches and theory, if any
–    journalistic and popular fallacies clouding the issue
–    improvements that might be possible, given economic theory
–    gaps in knowledge that need filling for better policy
