Discuss the history and current state of the peer-reviewed, academic literature as it relates to your own research question.

My master’s program is in Public Administration – Non-Profit
Management. The instructions, rubric, textbook readings, presentations and
other required documents are attached. The
name of this course is PPOL505: Applied Public Policy Research Methods: Public
Administration Praxis: Legal & Contemporary Issues (B01). Please be sure to
read all the documents in their entirety.

This Research Paper stems from the research question you were given at the beginning of the term.

RESEARCH QUESTION- TAX POLICY: WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTISAN MAKEUP OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE AND CIGARETTE TAXES?

INSTRUCTIONS
Assignment instructions are as follows:
• Your paper should be 7-10 pages (2,000 words)
o Title page, abstract, and references pages are not included in this page/word count.
• Turabian format
• At least 8 scholarly sources (best practice is to use the articles from your annotated bibliography to support your research question)
• Your paper must also use the datasets provided in the course, along with appropriate SPSS output, included as figures or tables, to answer your research question.

Please address all of the following questions and concepts as they relate to your research question:

1. Discuss the history and current state of the peer-reviewed, academic literature as it relates to your own research question.
• This is essentially a literature review discussing the major findings of all of the recent research. Your annotated bibliography will be a great help here.
• Do not simply copy and paste your annotated bibliography. Use those sources to support your question by relating it to that body of literature.

2. Present your research question and your hypothesis. Explain the methodological approach you will take to answer your question and justify why it is the best approach to answering your question.

3. Present the findings of your statistical analysis.
• Insert figures and tables here, but be sure to provide a written explanation specifically referencing each figure or table.

4. Conclude by summarizing the answer to your research question and whether or not your hypothesis was supported. Present 2 potential questions for future research.
