Due 4/7/13

Macroeconomic Analysis Take-Home Midterm
*I have edited the take-home exam (3/25).  Question #1 did not include the growth of potential output.  As well, while the natural rate of unemployment wasn't not really necessary to answer question 2b, including it will make answering the question easier.
