Abstract

The course provides students with an opportunity to undertake a major research project and to present the findings as an oral presentation and in a written paper. Fundamentally, students learn how to present an effective economic argument, through researching a topic related to gender, population, or health, and are required to write individual research papers. The course emphasizes conceptualization, modeling, and empirical skills that are widely used in economic analyses, and which must be applied to research data.
