What class is this for? What have you learned? The questions asked of this report would require the knowledge acquired in a textbook in investment management to answer. For example, Bodie, Kane, and Marcus.

And this is really not the forum for it. Although in the few economic questions I've seen brought up people have shown good capabilities towards it, this really sounds like textbook-ish questions more suited for people who are into the field.

http://www.tutor2u.net/ It was posted by Iansmith a couple of threads down and I've found usefull for checking up things. But even if it has notes on various economic fields it can not replace textbooks. It also has a forum.
