Economics of Social Interactions,
Paper proposal
In this class, it is very important to get going with your research. So please read my directions and familiarize yourself with the research resources it is referring to. Please do prepare questions for our session on February 28, with
Ari Gofman, our research librarian.
Regarding the proposal itself, here is what I expect:
Text plus references should between 300 and 500 words. Don’t use the upper limit unless it is necessary. A well-focused proposal does not have to be that long. Please provide
1. a clear brief explanation of what you have in mind;
2. then detail data that you might have already found;
3. explain why you think it is interesting, especially in the context of our class;
4. do detail any empirical investigation you have in mind, or a theoretical or computational one;
5. provide precise references, using your judgement as to how many to present, instread of trying to pad the proposal with too many references. In providing references, please use the suggestions in my directions. Within the text or footnotes, refer to a source as e.g. Ioannides (2013) — you obviously don’t have to refer to my work, this is an example. Then list alphabetically all the references at the end.
Regarding 4, don’t be surprised: students have done an amazing variety of topics in this class. And you will all see that it will be the case once again this year!
