Item Brooklyn Park Rebranding Initiative Program Evaluation Plan(Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2017) Erdenemandakh, Jargalmaa; Coppersmith, Emily; Dorn, LauraThis project was completed as part of the 2016-2017 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of Brooklyn Park. Brooklyn Park is in the midst of a large rebranding initiative, but is unsure how residents and other stakeholders feel about the initiative. To assess the opinions of these groups, students in Dr. Jodi Sandfort’s Program Evaluation course helped the city increase communication with residents and departments by outlining processes to gain constructive feedback. The students specifically outlined how to conduct focus groups and distribute effective surveys. The students’ final report and presentation are available.Item Origins and Consequences of the Humphrey Hawkins Act of 1978(2017) Dumas, William; Erdenemandakh, Jargalmaa; Karongo, Lawrence; Oh, Yun Taek; Teed, Derek; Wang, Wenchen; Watkins, JonathanThe Full Employment and Balanced Growth Act of 1978, commonly known as the Humphrey-Hawkins Act shifted U.S. economic policy from a focus on price stability to a dual mandate which added an employment goal. The Act emended the Employment Act of 1946 to include specific numeric goals for inflation and employment while maintaining the one could not be sacrificed to achieve the other. This paper uses several statistical analysis methods to determine if there is a quantifiable effect on price stability or employment due to the passing of the Act along with discussion of any change in Fed behavior. Further comparisons are made to selected developed countries with central banking systems that have single mandates along with a compared dual mandate country.
