Group Project

Students must form groups of 3–4 members to formulate a research question, collect relevant data, and apply econometric methods learned in class to produce a 10-page mini research paper. The project culminates in a professional 15-minute presentation (using PowerPoint or LaTeX Beamer) delivered exclusively to the lecturer during the final class. All group members must present equally, and the session will conclude with a Q&A regarding the methodology and results.
