GUIDELINES FOR JOURNAL ARTICLE CRITIQUE

You must read and critique the article listed below:

  • Rewriting Monetary Policy 101: What’s the Fed’s Preferred Post-Crisis Approach to Raising Interest Rates? Author(s): Jane E. Ihrig, Ellen E. Meade, and Gretchen C. Weinbach Source: Journal of Economic Perspectives, Vol. 29, No. 4 (Fall 2015), pp. 177-198

Note

Your written critique should be no more than three pages long (typed, double-spaced, one-inch

margins, 12-point Times New Roman font).  Please include a complete APA-formatted citation for the paper you are critiquing: title, author, journal, and publication date.  The citation may be included as a footnote.

Typically, 1.5 – 2 pages of the journal article critique will summarize the article. To fit your summary in 1.5 – 2 pages, you will have to be concise.

The 1.5 – 2 pages of summary will be followed by 1 – 1.5 pages of critique. Questions you must answer include:

(1) Is the title of the article appropriate and clear?

(2) Is the purpose of the article made clear in the introduction?

(3) Has the author been objective in his or her discussion of the topic?

(4) Is the objective of the experiment or of the observations important for the field? How so?
