Step 1: Understand the Requirements
The assignment revolves around applying monetary and fiscal policies in the Econland simulation game. You’ll analyze the results of your decisions and relate them to macroeconomic concepts such as aggregate demand (AD) and aggregate supply (AS).
Please follow the following report structure. I wish you all the best!
General rules:
1. Irrespective of what Forum instructions say, below is the FIXED structure your report should have
2. Word count is not overly critical. Do not go overboard and over-explain or repeat yourself.
You need to adequately answer the questions as outlined below.
3. You can play the game as many times as you need. You need to gather enough evidence to answer
all the questions properly.
4. All questions are to be answered using the Base case scenario. You are not expected to play
Rollercoaster or Stagnation.
5. Always change only ONE policy at a time.
6. All screenshots should be clear and show the complete decision screen and complete result screen.
7. There must be a match between the two screenshots. Please do not try to cheat or make up
results.
8. You will be judged/graded on your analytical approach, level of understanding, and the quality of
explanations and not on ‘How well you do’ or the ‘Approval rating’ in the game. So, there is no use
of cheating or modifying the screenshots.
