EC2002 Macroeconomic Principles IICoursework assignment FAQ and further guidelines1.Should I answer all three questions?Yes, consider the three questions as three sections of the same assignment. But note thatyou only need to write one introduction and one conclusion that present the main pointsabout the assignment.2.Can I draw diagrams by hand and scan them to include them into the document?Yes, absolutely fine. Just remember you need to submit the assignment electronically.3.Can I attach the diagrams/tables at the end in an appendix?Yes, you can either include them in the main text or put them in the appendix. Just makesure you refer to them clearly in the text.4.What is included in the word count? The word count includes the main text only (including introduction and conclusion) butdoes not include bibliography, figure captions, footnotes.

As for the empirical part (the third paragraph), it should consist of actual data on thevarious variables that you discuss in the theoretical part. Since we are talking about short-run, a time horizon of about 5 years will be sufficient. Data should be presented in a clearand informative way, preferably in a table. There should be discussion about whether thedata is consistent with the theoretical expectation, i.e., the results you got from thetheoretical part. Even if the data does not fully agree with the theory, it is not automaticallywrong. Do not try to force the data to match the theory or visa versa. But you need to discuss
