Some Frequently Asked Questions:
When is this project due?
Assignment submission – Dec 31,2021
Presentation dates will be announced in the class.
What is the written report supposed to be like?
The report gives you a chance to show off your written communication skills. I am looking for
succinct descriptions of a situation (Does this group recognize the most important economic aspects
of this story? Does this group understand the economic theory they are applying? Clear presentations
of an argument and creativity in the application of tools used. Is this just a repeat of something we did
in class? Or did this group come up with an appropriate application of the tools).
Do we have to use graphs?
You can use various tables, graphs, pie charts etc. for data analysis, only if it serves your argument. (If
you can make, your argument without math or graphs, however, you are probably not challenging
yourselves enough.) Use graphs, charts, analogies, allegories, and artwork, whatever helps you
explain and defend your analysis. Everything in the report should have a purpose. Graphs should be
clear.
