ECO IA help please :((

Hey! 

I am writing my first article for IA from Microeconomics. I know that I have to focus on this particular unit (not brining up other topic from our syllabus).

I am not sure whether what I want to describe is clearly a micro-case. It's an article about imposition of minimum wage in Ontario, the potential effect of which would be job losses. As the topic is a microeconomic one, I'm not sure whether the solution that I aim to propose is (unemployment is a part of MACROeconomy in the syllabus). I was thinking about offering subsidies to firms to increase the production and therefore, the demand for workers? But I'm not sure.

Thanks for your opinions

Yea, your article is more of a macroeconomics topic. Yes, your solution can work, only if you can justify it strongly, use appropriate diagrams to help you!

P.S. you don't really have to do a microeconomics topic for your first commentary if you have troubles looking for a microeconomics article.. it could be from any topics (international trade, macroeconomics or anything.)

I did my first commentary on Microeconomics, second on international trade, third in macroeconomics 

Hope that helps, good luck!

I actually had to pick a micro topic since our teacher required us to do so.. The topic I asked about was, as you said, more of a macroeconomic one. Thus, I chose a different one.

Thanks for your response!
