NOTE: This is the actual Mid-Term Exam for this course, Macroeconomics. If you copy it or not, you can take it as you
are doing the work. You will receive a 'hard copy' of it on Feb 12,
but this is it, and you can begin working on it now as you do
the work for the course. In either event, it will be done outside
of class and be due by Thursday, Feb 19. Good Luck!!
