For this assignment, your task is to write an critical essay on the concepts discussed in the article provided to you, to highlight your in-depth understanding of the topic and of economic issues/concepts/questions raised by the topic, to showcase your insight into and understanding of the research related to this topic, to illuminate how research has advanced understanding of the topic, and to demonstrate your ability to write about this topic in an engaging, effective and informative manner.

Your essay must be between 500 and 600 words long. All parts of the essay must be consistent with APA format (more info on the APA format appears later in this document). Words that exceed 600 words will not be read.

Whichever topic you choose, your research essay should be arranged into roughly three parts. These parts do not need to be labelled and each part may consist of one paragraph or more paragraphs. In Part 1, your task is to identify and describe what you consider critical or interesting issues, problems, questions or concepts which are raised by the article, and which are most directly relevant to economics. The goal of Part 1 is to provide a context or background for the remainder of your essay, and for you to inform the reader about the specific focus of your essay. In Part 2, you are expected to use insights and information you have gained from the peer reviewed economic research articles in order to illuminate (or increase understanding of) one or more of the critical issues or questions that are raised by the topic, or to increase your understanding of these issues or questions. In Part 3, your task is to draw conclusions, make connections between Parts 1 and 2, acknowledge limitations that are relevant to Part 2 or that were raised in the research articles you referenced, and perhaps propose research that would need to be carried out to address new questions which occurred to you.

You research essay must be based on published peer reviewed economic research, and must make appropriate use of and refer to at least 3, with a maximum of 5, peer reviewed economics journal articles.
