Web Page

This page holds class material related to Economics 353, including the syllabus and the assignments, plus instructions for recreating some of the regressions used as class examples.

Final papers are due Tuesday June 6th at 3pm. Problem set 4 is due Wednesday June 7th at 3:30pm. Each group should turn in along with its final paper (but separate from it) a statement of which member of the group wrote each part of the paper.

Final drafts should conform to all of the requirements in the Standards for Group Papers and Presentations below. In particular, they should have a table showing means and standard deviations of all variables used in the analysis, and tables (not Eviews output) showing the results of relevant regressions. They also need bilbiographies (be sure to cite properly all material you have drawn from other papers) and other usual requirements of research papers.
