Please show at least 3 charts, using Trading View or some other program, that shows the methodologies we learned in class applied to the markets involved in your bubble.

You will design a plan to change their perspective (attitude or intent to behave) and interview them again. These may be the same or different set of individuals.

You need to make a case for why you think your design will work in persuasion. After the end of the survey/interview, you will then analyze and report the findings on the level of influence your information or experiment had on your target audience. You will compare with the second phase results. You will also report on what you learned and how you could have done it differently. In this phase as well, you will consult additional sources of published studies that relate to changing attitudes or behavior in your specific area of interest.

These questions and strategy for change you develop should be based on research and sources (peer-reviewed journal articles should be included under references, not just websites) of information. Research needs to be used to support the strategy and questions used. Should address the following issues: Brief overview of what you learned in the first two phases Description of information from additional research from published sources on how to change attitudes/behavior in your area of interest Describe the process and information used to change with a description of the strategy used to change attitude/behavior and the results of your experiment/interview with five individuals, including their demographics

Cryptocurrencies What are they

Cryptocurrencies. What are they? Are they a true alternative to our current monetary system? How? What would be the consequences for the overall economy? For monetary policy? Academic Level : Bachelor Paper details In your Draft, you have already gathered most of the information and references you need. You already have a first version of a Literature Review, which establishes your credibility. That is, in your Literature Review you are letting your audience know you are familiar with what experts know on your subject, so they can trust what you have to say. Now it is time to digest all this information. For your Final Version, reflect on the information you have already gathered, structure it, and analyze it. Connect the dots. Aim for simplicity and substance. –> Title: Cryptocurrency Challenges and Opportunities for Improving the Effectiveness of Monetary System. Very good. It is specific and descriptive of your work. Your audience knows what you will be working on. –> I am not reading the Abstract, because there is not supposed to be one until the entire paper is finished. How can you summarize a paper that has not been written yet? In your Draft, address the following specifically: 1) In your Introduction section, make sure you have all the elements necessary: a) Purpose and focus of your paper (the core of your paper). b) Motivation (why is your subject relevant?). c) Methodology (how you have gone about your research). d) Findings and/or conclusion. Unlike the Literature Review, this is where you tell us what YOU think: how should we understand what is important about this subject and what the implications for economics, policy, etc. are. e) Final paragraph with the organization of your paper (this acts as the table of contents of your paper). E.g. “In the next section I will present a literature review section 3 analyzes, …. And I present my conclusions on the last section of this paper”. Check sample papers (links in previous guidelines). 2) Think and write like an economist; use the economic tools you have learned throughout your studies. More specifically: a) Make sure you are applying an economic perspective to your subject. This is an economics paper. b) Give your audience the basics and the wider context: how it all works & how is it framed within economics. Once you have provided your audience with a ‘map’ and told them where you are in the map, proceed on to focus on your specific topic and issue. c) Give us your own fruit smoothie. Structure, summarize, and analyze your information in order to create your own narrative, your own story. Do not present your audience with a list or a recount of works related to your topic. Tell us what we should pay attention to and why.
