3. A Creative Approach to the Research Paper: Combining Creative Writing with Academic Research

Author

Blue, Tim

Abstract

This article describes a combination of a research essay and a creative writing assignment that encourages rigorous academic research while allowing students to get "outside the box" of traditional academic research papers. This assignment has five steps. The first two steps offer the chance to introduce academic research along with summary and paraphrasing. The third step, is for the students to begin developing their own stories. The fourth step in this process seeks to get students thinking of how their research will affect their story specifically. The fifth and final step is to write the stories themselves, with as many drafts and peer reviews as time allows

Abstract

The article reports on how fiscal and monetary policies have helped in balancing New Zealand's budget and enhanced the rating of its bonds in the equity market during 1990s. In the aftermath of the international bond markets' meltdown, fixed-interest instruments have been performing particularly well in New Zealand. New Zealand's 10-year government bonds rose from 7.61% to 8.15%, a comparatively low negative return of 11.5% which, because of turbulence elsewhere, elevated bonds into fifth position worldwide. In the same period, the New Zealand dollar appreciated from 56.42 to 57.10 in its trade-weighted index, representing an annual gain of 7% which was estimated probably the best currency performance in the world in that period. Due to this, there was a fast trend of international capital inflow in New Zealand and was assumed as the result of ten years of tough fiscal policies. The government has adopted a policy of fiscal rectitude and a new Fiscal Responsibility Act which became law only a few days before the budget and has helped a lot in improving budgetary performance.
