In this box you will connect the earlier labor market box to monetary policy before, during, and after the financial crisis.
1. Go to BLS.gov and look for:
2. the Unemployment Rate
3. the Consumer Price Index (inflation).
Once in the CPI page go to More Formatting Options and request the 12 Month Percent Change.
-Get the Effective Federal Funds Rate from the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank FRED database.
The relation between interest rates, unemployment, and inflation is clearly stated in this Federal Reserve – PLEASE SEE ATTACHED
The purpose of the box is to analyze these variables within a common framework with emphasis on the Fed’s mandate during the Great Recession with the Taylor Rule in mind. Make sure you plot the variables separately. The charts should have a title and have the axis labeled (with time in x-axis, and label the variable and its units in the y-axis).
SHORTCUT:
The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis compiles and stores economic data from many sources, including the Bureau of Labor Statistics. One-stop shopping for the data in this box can be found here:
https://fred.stlouisfed.org
The series are:
– Unemployment Rate (UNRATE)
– Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers: All Items in U.S. City Average (CPIAUCSL) —it is in levels, so you have to go to Edit Graph and in Units request it as “Percent Change from a Year Ago” to have the year over year change in prices.
– Effective Federal Funds Rate (DFF) —it is in daily frequency, so you have to request it as monthly to match the other variables.
You can use the ready-made charts from FRED, though I encourage you to develop further your graphing and communication skills in Excel.
Tips/Must Haves
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FEDFUNDS – the link to get the effective federal funds rate
Download the CPI table from the BLS.gov and use it to plot my line graph in Excel
The link is on the right side mid-way down the page in the LATEST NUMBERS section (click on the tiny graph icon for the CPI). Then, change the date at the top of the page, and then in More Formatting Options, select the 12-month Percent Change, then Retrieve Data. Or you can also take the SHORTCUT to the ready-made graphs at the bottom of the Assignment’s instructions and use them in your Box without point penalty.

“Defining Community in the Context of Studying Crime: Exploring the Importance of Community for Understanding Criminal Behavior”
When studying any topic, it is first necessary to identify and define the key concepts. In a course on the topic of communities and crime, the two primary concepts are just that — community and crime. Therefore, a main question addressed in the readings for this week is “What is community?” While this may seem like a simple question, it turns out there can be multiple definitions of community, some of which may be more important for studying crime than others. For example, becoming an alumnus of FSU makes you part of a community, but that type of community wouldn’t be very important for understanding how communities can influence crime.
For this discussion question, describe what you consider to be a valid definition of community when studying crime. You must also explain why that particular definition of community is useful for studying crime. This discussion question is partly based on your own opinion, but you must draw explicitly from the readings to support your arguments.
Important note: Remember that in order to receive full points, your discussion posting must answer all parts of the question that was posed, cite the reading materials, and be thoughtful, clear, organized, professional, and well-written. You do not need to include a bibliography of the readings at the end of your answer, but you do need to provide citations in parentheses within your answer. Theses should include the authors’ last names and the year of publication (e.g. Chaskin 1997). For more information, be sure to read the section of the syllabus that describes discussion postings. -
