Senior Project (Econ 3951)

Welcome! The Senior Project is a chance to do your own original research in economics while an undergraduate. You can read more about this course and requirements here.

The main webpage for this course is now on Moodle. Please check it for the syllabus, workshop assignments and other relevant materials.

Resources:

Paper Examples - See here and here for examples of some recent papers that have done well (these are not perfect, like all papers, but generally have good ideas and execution).

Topic Ideas - This link takes you to a list of topics that may help you in finding an idea. Also, papers in the Journal of Economic Perspectives or Journal of Economic Literature tend to give good overviews of current work being done in a given field and the questions associated with it.

Reference Page - Thanks to Andrea Waddle and the magic of google I have collected links to several websites that may be useful for you throughout the course. If you find another source that is helpful, please let me know and I'll include the link on this page so other students can benefit from it.
