Course Outline and Reading List
Choose a paper from those marked + on the reading list, and let me know your choice by the third week of classes.
You should read the paper and at least one other paper from the same section of the course syllabus -- consult with me before preparing your talk.
Your presentation should be 20 minutes maximum, with a clear summary of the ideas in the paper, the main elements of the empirical or theoretical model, and a clear statement of the results. There will be 5-10 minutes of following classroom discussion.
Marks will be awarded for clarity, brevity ... and attractive presentation materials.
All papers presented will be covered on the final exam, so everyone should be engaged with the presentations. The discussion will go better if people read the papers in advance. Practice problems are not graded, but are useful for the final exam.
