ECON 9530 - Communicating Evidence in Economic Research

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisites: Students should have completed course work in at least two advanced fields in economics.
Description
This course helps students learn how to write a research proposal. It focuses on how to think about credible causal evidence and how better to communicate your research goals, strategies, and results. Students will continuously present parts of a research proposal they are developing, and most class sessions will analyze and critique these proposals. About one-quarter of the class sessions will focus on additional training in modern econometric approaches that could help students to develop more precise empirical strategies.
