Economics Masters Project Research Papers

The Masters degree in Economics includes a curriculum with a deep theoretical foundation on micro economics, macro economics and econometrics complemented with applied classes focused on data analysis and a range of topical areas. The Masters students complete a culminating two-course research project designed to guide students through the process of conducting a literature review, identifying a research question, finding appropriate methods and data to answer the research question, answering the question and sharing results and policy implications. Students register for 8 credits total through EC596-Masters Research Project I and EC597-Masters Research Project-II taken during the last two terms of the program. This collection includes the final research project reports that have been reviewed and approved by the instructors.
