This course is designed to teach the craft of applied economic research to students of any Wharton doctoral program. The course provides a venue for moving research forward, including both papers assigned for other classes and research leading toward a dissertation. To this end we will meet weekly, on Tuesday's at noon in JMHH F36, for student research presentations.
- 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.
