How Covid-19 Impacted Inflation in the United States
The research paper allows students to employ economic concepts in a practical way to a macroeconomic problem, bridging the gap between theory and practice. Off Campus Library Services is an excellent source of peer-reviewed articles to start the research process. The research paper should clearly incorporate the economic analysis and topics of discussion covered in both the textbook and the workshops and students should attempt to see business and social issues through the “lens” of economic logic. The conclusions arrived at by the student should reflect a deeper understanding of the “economic way of thinking.”Students will write a research paper that is due in Workshop Five.
A suggested approach to the paper would be to divide it into six specific sections as follows:
Introduction: topic, statement of problem to be discussed
Objectives: this is statement, what is the goal of the essay?
Method: the research method used: case study, books and newspaper/magazine articles, personal statistical research, or previously conducted statistical surveys
Findings and data, facts ascertained, and what did you discover?
Conclusions: interpretation, analysis of findings, arguments, personal comments and group opinions, consensus
Documentation: footnotes or endnotes, works cited, bibliography.
Sections a, b, and c should not consume more than one to two pages of the final draft. The bulk of the research and writing should be concentrated in the d and e sections where discussion should occur, evaluation of theories should be conducted, and conclusions may be drawn.
