2. Explain the difference between “Demand Pull” and “Cost Push” inflation. Be sure to use graphs in
your explanation. (For this question there is some class notes on this topic in Bright Space under
ContentClass NotesCost Push vs Demand Pull Inflation. DO NOT COPY THIS CLASS NOTE word for
word. Paraphrase it – write it in your own words.)
3. Explain why the unemployment rate in the United States is almost always lower than the Canadian
unemployment rate. (To practice for exam questions and your term paper make sure you include
the definition of the unemployment rate. Remember that to get the best mark possible you must
show your knowledge. In order to explain the statistical differences between the countries is helps
to explain the unemployment rate.)
4. The final question is to help you get used to researching topics on-line. In the May 20th lecture, we
discussed several economic events in the 20th Century from a Canadian perspective. You must find a
short article on one of these events. The choice of event is up to you. Provide a bibliographical
reference and a two-sentence summary.
