Seminar Management Method

Specific topics to be covered will be decided at the first session based on students’ interests. In general, this seminar will start with a number of sessions introducing basic economic theories and statistics. Students are expected to familiarize themselves with key concepts in economics and statistics.
3rd year students: Focus will be on discussions of economic approach to answering questions, covering various topics. Students will learn how to use basic statistics and data analysis tools, such as statistical software R. One main goal is for students to enhance their presentation skills. Students are expected to start narrowing down their research questions by studying and reporting existing literature related to their topic of interest.
4th year students: Focus will be on presenting and writing papers based on economics concepts and previous studies on their topics, using empirical research methods. A great focus will be on brushing up students’ writing skills. Students are to give an oral presentation of their findings and finish writing their thesis.
Throughout the course, students are expected to prepare papers outlining key features of their thesis including a working title, background and motivation, literature review, research design and references. We will then move on to structuring, drafting, revising and finalizing their thesis under the instructor’s guidance.
