Assignment Two: Unit Five

for my research topic I was trying to find articles discussing how macroeconomics and microeconomics are related overall, but more so within the United States of America. For my first search I conducted it in Econlit and typed in macroeconomics, the word and is already provided in the search engine so I then typed in microeconomics in the below search bar with both being in searched in SU Subjects. The search mode being boolean/phrase, also searched within the full text of the articles. The publication type being journal articles, published between January 1990 and November 2008. My second search was conducted in Business source Premier using the same wroding and under SU subjects. Boolean/phrase was selected in search modes with searching within the full text of the articles. Articles between January of 1990 and November of 2008 was selected, publication type as academic journal, document type as article, and with articles with images all was selected. Econlist gave back thirteen results and Business Search Premier came back with 154 results. Results from both searches were only somewhat on target. However I didn't run into any problems with my searches. In Econlist I changes the searches to all texts and swithced the time to January, 2007 to november, 2008 and publication type as all. In Business Search Premier I cahnged the search to macroeconomics* using truncation, searching in all texts, with the same search mode as boolean/phrase, publication type as all, document type as all, articles with images as PDF, and the publication date between January, 2008 to November, 2008. I got back nine reults with Econlist and sixty-three with Business Search Premier. The most appropriate title I selected with Business Search Premier was Adaptive Microfoundations for Emergent Macroeconomics, with the citation being: Gaffeo, Edoardo, et al. "Adaptive Microfoundations for Emergent Macroeconomics." Eastern Economic Journal 34.4 (Fall2008 2008): 441-463. Business Source Premier. EBSCO. [Library name], [City], [State abbreviation]. 8 Nov. 2008 . The most appropriate title selected with Econlist is titled Simulating the Dynamic Macroeconomic and Microeconomic Effects of the FairTax, with the citation being: Jokisch, Sabine, and Laurence J. Kotlikoff.. "Simulating the Dynamic Macroeconomic and Microeconomic Effects of the FairTax." National Tax Journal 60.2 (June 2007): 225-252. EconLit. EBSCO. [Library name], [City], [State abbreviation]. 8 Nov. 2008 . The content discussed in the Business Search Premier article is about basing microfoundations to Macroeconomic theory to individual behavior. In the Econlist article the topic of discussion is about how the FairTax might provide different options to bleek looking economic future and the major improvements it could provide for the majority of Americans. Two new questions that I developed are what are ways macroeconomics and microeconomics used together that could improve the U.S. economy, and what influence do macroeconomics and microeconomics hold on the U.S. economy?
