BPUB 900 - Research Seminar

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Waldfogel. Prerequisite(s): None. Permission of instructor required. After doctoral students complete their coursework they typically learn how to do research in two ways, by watching others present research (see BPUB 962, which gives course credit for participating in the Wharton Applied Economics Seminar), and by preparing and presenting their own research. This course is meant to provide a venue where Wharton doctoral students whose work has an applied economic flavor can present their research as it progresses. We will meet weekly, on Thursdays at noon for student research presentations. 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 research process itself, and the course is appropriate for all doctoral students with applied microeconomic interests who have completed at least one year of their doctoral program. This one-credit course meets Thursdays 12-1:20. Our first (organizational) meeting is the first Thursday of the semester. We will determine our meeting frequency based on enrollment and the timing of student presentations. Our expectations of students' research presentations vary with students' progress in their respective programs.
