Ur topic and content need to relate the class topic, u can choose use literature review or data analysis(econ include result table). U must give me ur topic and description of the paper and ur thoughts in 2 days from now. After I ask my professor, if they are feasible, we will start the paper. And u need to finish it in 4days

The project consists of a final paper (4-5 pages, 1.5 spaced not including references and/or

tables).

You should begin the project by choosing an interesting research question related to the topics

covered in class. To answer the research question, you can choose one of the three methods

described below.

1. In-depth literature review

This option involves extensive review of prior literature related to the research question.

While no independent data analysis must be conducted, the project should include a critical

discussion and an interpretation of the information available providing a (possibly tentative)

answer to the research question.

2. Independent analysis using third-party survey data

This option involves econometric analysis of data from one of the publicly available surveys

containing subjective well-being questions. Examples of publicly available surveys include:

– World Values Survey (http://www.worldvaluessurvey.org/WVSContents.jsp ), General

Social Survey (http://gss.norc.org/ )

– Latinobarometer (http://www.latinobarometro.org/lat.jsp )

– Eurobarometer (http://ec.europa.eu/commfrontoffice/publicopinion/… )

– European Values Survey (https://europeanvaluesstudy.eu/ )

– Pew Global Attitudes Project data (http://www.pewglobal.org/ ).

The analysis should include data description accompanied by descriptive statistics (averages,

time trends, correlations) as well as econometric regression(s) that control for multiple

factors affecting the dependent variable. Presentation of the results should be done using

tables and graphical (visual) representation.

Grading

The final project will be graded based on the following criteria:

 Organization (25%)

 Motivation for / creativity of the research question (25%)

 Quality of the methodological design / literature review (25%)

 Result interpretation/critical discussion (25%)
