Undergraduate

Students will develop independent research and presentation skills. With the guidance of the instructor, students will choose a research economic topic, pose a specific question to be addressed and investigate the question. Students will be expected to conduct a formal literature survey which will form the basis for their investigation. The resulting paper can be theoretical, empirical or qualitative in nature. Students will be assessed on the basis of classroom discussions, classroom presentations and written assignment.. (Prerequisites: ECON-3130, ECON-4230 and ECON-4330.) (May be offered as a cross- career course with ECON-8270).
