| Content | This course is designed to introduce students to "how to do economic research." Some class time will focus on topics such as bibliographic methods, data analysis, and economic modeling, but most of the effort will be involved in individual feedback for developing research papers. Students that currently develop their first (or second) research paper idea learn how to formulate research questions and how they can develop a polished research paper from their projects. The course consists of roughly two parts: 1) During the first hours of the lecture, the lecturer provides "research advice", on topics like how to formulate a research question, how to build a research agenda, how to choose projects, plus some practical advice on an economics career (submitting to journals, refereeing, etc). 2) Students prepare presentations of their research projects in advance and each student presents this project in class. Presenters will receive detailed feedback on both their research, as well as tips on presenting and framing research papers. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact sarah.lein@unibas.ch |
