Term Paper Instructions
Read Chapter 10 of (the brief edition) of Stock and Watson’s textbook, “Conducting a Regression Study Using Economic Data,” at:

https://wps.aw.com/wps/media/objects/11422/11696965/stoc2517.ch10.343-350.C1.pdf Follow the instructions detailed in this Chapter. By October 30th you will choose a

topic, collect data, and write up an outline that contains your project’s title, five sections with section names, a one sentence thesis statement, and data

references. By December 1st you will complete a rough draft of this paper. On December 18th you will submit the final paper.
You have wide latitude in choosing paper topics, but your project must either use regression analysis to test an economic hypothesis, or estimate some quantity (e.g.

gross benefits) for use in a benefit-cost analysis. It should go without saying, but don’t plagiarize, as faculty members are required to report all infractions to the

office of Student Conduct and Ethical Development. If you wrote a paper in another class and you want to build on it in this class, please talk to me; doing this is a

good idea as long as you extend your previous work enough.
All papers must have five sections: Intro, Literature Review, Description of Data, Regression Results, and Conclusion, as described in SW Chapter 10. In addition, all

papers must have the following three tables: Variable Descriptions, Summary Statistics, and Regression Results. For an example of a paper that closely follows this

format see: Holian (2014).

The regressions should be run in a statistical program such as Stata or R.
