To whom it may concern:

1.

The essay needs to be restructured to be more logical

The new structure needs to be:

Topic: The Keynesian Policies and the Unemployment

Thesis/argument: The Keynesian Policies which aim to deal with the unemployment are not effective and they need to be adjustedOutline:1. What are the Keynesian Policies and how they are using to deal with the unemployment problem2. How the Keynesian Policies are applied in the real situation in the past and what are the results of the Keynesian Policies with unemployment3. What are the weakness of the Keynesian Policies and what are the reasons they are not effective4. Recommendation: what can be used instead of the Keynesian Policies

The essay needs a clear opinion; a clear thesis/argument must be stated in the introduction. And the whole essay should be closely connected with the thesis/argument.

The introduction should be the first paragraph of the essay.

I talked with the professor today, he want said: The essay cannot be just a descriptive paper. It is in need of a main thesis, i.e., something that you would like to prove or disprove in your paper.

So I want this essay to be edited to fulfill this requirement.

All the academic recourses I used are included in the files for the references.

The overall format should be:

A paper exhibiting critical thinking(further explained below)Subsections: Intro, Background/Literature, Body of Arguments, Conclusion, Works Cited

The course name is Competing Views in Macroeconomic Theory and Policy. It is a fourth year economic course, so the standard is high.

This essay should be on a topic related to any of the weekly course themes.

The weekly course theme I choose: Why Is There Unemployment (The lecture slides are provided as well)

The essay needs to be around 4000 words, the reference part is not counted in the 4000 words.

2. The detailed requirements for the intro part

The intro part: should at least include three things: 1. OPENING STATEMENT, 2. TOPIC STATEMENT 3. THESIS STATEMENT

Please list these three statements very clearly!

The explanations of the TOPIC STATEMENT and THESIS STATEMENT are:

TOPIC STATEMENT: what youre going to argue; your stance [1 sentence]Purpose: tell readers what you want to say in relevance to the article

THESIS STATEMENT: what proof you have to support your stance [1 sentence]Purpose: outline to readers how youre going to try to convince them that you are right

The examples of statements are provided below:

EXAMPLE:OPENING/TOPIC/THESIS STATEMENTS

OPENING STATEMENT:The IMF has traditionally been opposed to the idea of countries implementing capital controls to stem a crisis.

TOPIC STATEMENT:Some countries, however, have ignored this advice and implemented such controls anyways and experienced some success.

THESIS STATEMENTMalaysias () imposition of capital restrictions () during the 1998 East-Asia crisis is often viewed as one such case, where a potential crisis was averted.EITHER: list Malaysias various capital restriction policies if youre only talking about Malaysia.OR: list the other countries that experienced success you will talk about.

3. The further requirements: WHAT DETERMINESWRITING QUALITY?

1. Delve deeply into a few topicsCovering too much ground does not allow much space for an in-depth discussion of each!2. Define technical terminology paraphrase a definition from an authoritative source!DO NOT write your own version off the top of your head! --An inaccurate/untechnical-sounding definition can shake the audiences confidence in your command of economic knowledge.

3. Actually referencing your citations in your paperActually referring to papers / incorporating data in your paper promotes the audiences confidence that you have actually read and understood what you claim you have read/understood.

4. Good intuition flowmake sure the audience can follow your thought train from sentence to sentence, concept to concept, paragraph to paragraph.

5.Good CONCLUSION1. SUMMARIZE each body paragraph / argument (1 sentence each)2. REMIND readers how you have proven what you told them you would prove; link body paragraphs back to topic/thesis statements3. DO NOT simply paraphrase your Intro!

The detailed grading rubric is provided in the file as well, please go through it.
