Jim Whitney Economics 311

Web-based country report

General information: This assignment is designed to give you an opportunity to develop Web-based resources to help connect course concepts with a particular country of interest to you.

Requirements:
    1. Select a country of interest.
    2. Construct a web page with organized and annotated links to online international economics material relating to your country. You might find some possible links at:
        JW's International Economics Links (www.whitney.oxy.edu/classes/ec311/links.htm) and
        JW's Selected Web Sites (http://www.whitney.oxy.edu/bkmkfram.htm)
    3. Use your online material to help you write a brief country report on some key aspect of the international economics of your country. Your country report should not be broad and descriptive but should instead focus on a particular issue of interest that applies to your country. It might, for example, cover a particular trade policy of the country, or an exchange rate crisis.

Details:
1. Your paper should be about three-to-five pages long.
2. You should clear with me in advance the country you choose, since I want to avoid excessive repetition of country choices.
3. Your assignment grade depends primarily on the quality of your paper, but your paper grade might be adjusted up or down a grade level depending on the quality of your website. So, for example, a paper receiving a B grade can move up to a B+ with a strong website or down to a B- with a weak website.
