Final Project/Presentation
You may collaborate in groups of at most 3 students in the preparation of a final project. It is a paper of a maximum of 10 pages or an in-class presentation of 5-10 minutes per student. You can consider any international trade topic of your interest. You can send me a proposal if you want. Here you have a list of topics that you may want to consider. You should take this as an opportunity to be creative. It is your project and I would like to help you deepen your knowledge on a particular topic of your interest:
The effect of the diffusion of Artificial Intelligence/Automatization in the US labor market.
Recent evolution of TFP growth in the US. Its main determinants and possible future evolution.
Inequality and its determinants.
Countercyclical policies in the Great Recession or the current Covid-19 shock.

Read the article Experiences and Perspectives of Young Workers. This is an article prepared by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco in December 2016. You can find this in the same folder that you found these instructions.
In approximately 4 pages (typed, double spaced), write an essay about your experiences as a worker and how it may differ or be similar to the report. About half of the paper should talk about your experiences while the other half should be a summary/critique of the paper. Papers that clearly show that you only skimmed the article (or did not read it at all, will get less than half credit. If you are not working right now (or ever) discuss your job search experiences. You may also scour the internet for other relevant information that you include in your essay. Make sure you include appropriate citations, as I want to check your sources. (APA or MLA style for citations, I am not picky.)
When writing your essay
All the instructions are given on the file. Please read carefully for every single word, especially on the grading rubric. The paper needs a high level of detail. (Paper format, Page number, etc)
Also, any topic would be fine as long as it can be wrap up to 5 pages. However, please let me know ahead of which topic before starts doing the writing.
Lastly, it was described on the guideline that it is necessary to put graphs, images, and stats to support the argument. Please don't do direct copy-paste the graphs and images from the sources to the paper, but please do translate those support images (I.e. The stats from the source is described in Spanish, please translate it to English)-- The Professor emphasize this needs to be done for the full point.
Let me know if you have any question,
Have a great one and good luck!
Best,

Week 5 is a continuation of our discussions on market structures; however, we will also transition to a discussion on pricing strategies.
The most important characteristic in an oligopoly market structure is that there are only a small number of firms competing, and as such their behavior is mutually interdependent. In perfect competition and monopolistic competition each firm does not need to consider the behavior of the others because there are so many of them. How managers respond to the strategies of other firms in an oligopoly is critical to whether or not they can successfully compete. To test or predict how strategies affect the interdependence several models have been developed. One of those models is referred to as the Game Theory. This is a mathematical tool designed to analyze outcomes when players employ different strategies, i.e., cooperate or compete. The best known game theory is Prisoners Dilemma.

This week we are focused on the different environments in which companies operate and the market power related to each of these environments.
The environment in which a company operates is referred to as a market structure. There are four primary structures: perfect competition; monopolistic competition; oligopoly; and, monopoly. A perfection competition has no market power to influence pricing while a monopoly has market power because it can set prices and in turn increase profits. The other two structures vary in degrees of market power based on combine characteristics of both competitive and monopolistic structures.

The level, or degree, of a companys market power is directly related to the principle of barriers into the market. Barriers are defined as any s
