Business Cycles and Growth
FOCUS OF THE FINAL PAPER
Finance The financial sector has a profound influence on important macroeconomic variables like GDP growth, employment and inflation.

- Compare and contrast two different countries during this time period as they experienced financial crises.
- Explain the role and action that central banks took to stabilizing the business cycle. Be sure your answer includes appropriate data, graphs, terms, macroeconomic indicators and theories used.
