Define and defend all variables, including the dependent variable, in a single paragraph for each variable
Math/Physic/Economic/Statistic Problems
State why the dependent variable has been chosen for analysis. Then make a general statement about the model you will be employing,
Discuss the research sources/references that support the article, i.e., the model you have chosen.
Define and defend all variables, including the dependent variable, in a single paragraph for each variable. Also, state the expectations for each independent variable. These paragraphs should be in numerical order, i.e., dependent variable, X1, then X2, etc. In each paragraph, the following should be addressed:
How is the variable defined in the data source?
Which unit of measurement is used?
For the independent variables: why do the independent variables determine the dependent variable?
What sign is expected for the independent variable’s coefficient, positive or negative? Why?
Describe the data and identify the data sources. From which general sources and from which specific tables are the data taken? Which year or years were the data collected. Are there any data limitations?
