Assignment: - Prospectus
A course project is due in Week 10 which requires you to develop a mathematical model of an economic theory of your choosing (or of your own development), collect data to test your hypothesis, estimate your mathematical model, and draw conclusions to support your theory.
The course project prospectus (this assignment) ensures you are on your way toward completing the course project, and provides the professor the opportunity to provide feedback before the final project is completed.
For this assignment, write a 4-6 page paper in which you:
1. Describe and discuss the theory or hypothesis you wish to discuss in your paper.
2. Describe the model you plan to discuss.
3. Determine the data sources you will use to estimate your model and explain why you feel these data sources are appropriate.
4. Provide an annotated bibliography of at least six (6) peer-reviewed publications focused on your topic.
Assignment: Model Selection and Specification Errors
Write a 4-5 page paper in which you:
1. Perform a regression restating the regression from Assignment 2 into one or more of the functional forms discussed in Chapter 5 and interpret the meaning of the coefficient in your new model.
2. Identify a qualitative attribute or category that could affect your dependent variable, and discuss the dummy variables that you would create to estimate these categorical differences.
3. Discuss any potential specification errors that may exist within your model.
4. Perform tests to identify potential specification errors and discuss remedial actions based on your testing results.
Your assignment must:
• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the tile of the assignment, the student's name, the professor's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required page length.
Assignment: Course Project
Write an 8-10 page paper in which you:
1. Develop a theory or hypothesis about some economic relationship.
2. Based on your theory and research,specify a mathematical model of your theory.
3. Identify and collect data to test your hypothesis.
4. Use econometric methods to estimate your mathematical model.
5. Use statistical inference to draw conclusions to support your theory.
6. Include at least six (6) references (no more than three years old) from material outside the text(s).
Your assignment must:
• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the tile of the assignment, the student's name, the professor's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required page length.
