Data Analyses

Micro and macroeconomic data analyses. Analyses must include at least three of the following, including macroeconomics: an estimate of demand or supply, consumer behavior and  elasticity, the cost of production, profit maximization, market structure, indices of market power and litigation of market concentration,  macroeconomic performance (including unemployment, inflation, and fiscal and monetary policies), and economic models.

Analysis of Cases

An analysis of managerial decisions, business ethics, market failure or success, consumer optimism, profits, cost, and macroeconomic performance. A synthesis of the micro and macro environments is essential and not optional. While a comparative case study is optional, comparative case studies provide very good opportunities for analytical or very critical presentations.

Critical Evaluation

Conclusion

Your conclusion is what ties your paper together. As such, it must summarize the contents of your paper, ranging from your premise to your last substantive argument.

References

While footnotes are optional, References must be provided at the end of your CA paper. The APA style is preferred.
