Fiscal Policy
This rubric element wants you to look at the policies in place at the start of your
chosen decade.
• You will need to provide details on the policies and examine how they were
related to macroeconomic issues at the time. Your slide(s) on this will
highlight the key points and your speaker notes will add the explanatory detail
needed.
• You may need to take a peak at what was happening in the years leading up
to the start of your decade.
• Your work here should include scholarly research which you can best find
information on specific fiscal policies, search by President instead of by years
– start with these sites:
• Congressional Budget Office
• White House website
• Economic Report of the President (from FRASER, which has many other
great resources)
• National Bureau of Economic Research

Fiscal Policy Actions
This rubric element wants you to examine what the fiscal policy initiatives were
going forward, to respond to the changing economic landscape.
• You should specifically state what the intent of the actions were – for instance,
it could be to decrease unemployment.
• Then, use our macroeconomic principles and models (like the AD-AS model
or Keynesian consumption function) 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.

Fiscal Policy Impact
After looking at what the government 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) to see if policy actions achieved their goals. For instance, if
President Johnson’s “War on Poverty” aimed to reduce poverty in the U.S.
and, in doing so, create a stronger economy. With less poverty, we should
see increased consumption and higher growth rates.
• Keep in mind that there may be times when the government misread the
economy and implemented a policy that had unintended effects so its
important to compare what was observed after the policy in the
macroeconomic data to what the policy objectives were.
• Also, consider how individual households and businesses were impacted by
the policy decisions. For example, if taxes were lowered, did people spend
more money? Did they save more money? Which group(s) of people received
the tax cut?

ECO 202 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric: Fiscal Policies
Continue your observation of the 10-year period selected for Milestone One, and research the fiscal policies implemented during those years.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Examine the fiscal policies in place at the start of your specific time period in relation to their effects on macroeconomic issues. For instance, consider
level of government spending, taxation, subsidies, unemployment benefits, and so on.
Analyze new fiscal 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 fiscal policy actions on individuals and businesses within the economy by integrating the macroeconomic data and
principles.
Guidelines for Submission: Your fiscal policies milestone should be 3–5 slides in PowerPoint, Prezi, Keynotes or PreZentit, not including title page and references.
Be sure to include speaker notes to accompany all of your responses. Your reference list slide needs to be in APA format.
