ECO 4350 - Directed Honors Research Investigation in Economics

Credits: 3 hrs
This senior level course is intended for students accepted to the Economics Honors Program.  Accepted students will complete a minimum of 50 hours of mentored research with a faculty member.  During these 50 hours, students will become more familiar with the faculty member’s research.  Upon completion of this course, students will have developed a hypothesis; orally presented this hypothesis to the Economics faculty; and either obtained IRB approval or receive an IRB exemption for a thesis completed the following semester.  This course is designed to help students navigate through the research process.  Specific emphasis will be placed on how an economist asks questions and develops a hypothesis using appropriate economic literature and data, as well as developing appropriate statistical models to test this hypothesis.
