Macro Activity- The FEDexes Fix the the Economy

The video tutorial introduces a group activity called 'FedEx is Fix the Economy' for macroeconomics students to practice monetary policy and money supply calculations. Participants form groups, use game pieces representing former Federal Reserve chairs, and follow scenario cards to simulate economic conditions. Each member secretly performs actions based on random computer-generated results to influence the money supply. The game involves strategy, including the option to lie, to progress through districts and earn points. The goal is to reach District 1 first, with the highest points determining the winner.

Describe the process of reporting results back to the group.
