Teaching Activity | Meet the MPC | PowerPoint Game

The downloadable zip folder contains a PowerPoint file and Teacher Instructions for running the activity.

Students are presented with five pieces of randomly generated macroeconomic information (ranging from unemployment levels to trade barriers) and then need to use these to inform their recommendation for the setting of interest rates.

This is a great way to get students to apply their knowledge of macroeconomics and to practice assuming the role of a stakeholder when presenting their arguments.
