This course is designed to teach the craft of applied economic research to students of any Wharton doctoral program. To this end we will meet weekly, on Tuesday's at noon, with one of the following items on the agenda:
- A student research presentation (for example, all BPUB students are required to give such presentations at least annually)
- A post mortem discussion of the previous days applied economics seminar, or
- A faculty guest speaker introducing students to a research approach or a set of researchable topics.
The course provides a venue for moving research forward, including both papers assigned for other classes and research leading toward a dissertation. This course aims to bring students a hands-on understanding of the course as appropriate for all doctoral students with applied microeconomic interests who have completed at least one year of their doctoral program.
