    Applied economics research course

    Short guidelines for proposal for own topic

    In the applied economics research course you will do an individual research on a topic provided by a
    supervisor from U.S.E. Under certain conditions, you can work on your own topic. In that case you
    need to submit your own research proposal in time. See for the deadlines the course description in
    the course catalogue. It is important that you show knowledge of the topic you would like to study
    and explain the relevance and feasibility of your proposal. The proposal should be about 3 pages and
    needs to include the following information and sections:

    1. Personal information

    Name and student number and program (indicate minor or full economics program)

    2. Research question and sub-questions

    Give a short introduction of the topic you would like to study and the research question(s). Explain
    briefly why the study is relevant, scientifically and/or societally. Refer to relevant literature

    3. Relation to economic theory

    Briefly discuss how the topic relates to the academic literature. Refer to relevant (key) publications.

    4. Type of research

    This section should give an indication of the feasibility of the study: how will you answer your
    research question? Often, empirical analyses will be done, using existing databases. Give
    information on the database and make sure that you check accessibility of the data.

    NB Collecting your own data is rather complicated due to time restrictions. Proposals based on the
    execution of an own survey, are usually rejected.

    5. Academic references

    Provide full details of the references to the literature in your proposal in a consistent format (NB no
    weblinks)

    6. Estimated time schedule

    Indicate the amount of time you will spend on the different parts of your study

    Assessment

    The proposal will be assessed by the coordinator and possible supervisors. Main criteria are content
    of the proposal (strong link with academic literature/discussion), completeness of information
    (inclusion of all sections) and feasibility of the proposal.

    You will be informed on the outcome in time. If approved, we will find a supervisor and inform you
    who will supervise your research. You will participate in a research group with other students who
    work on their own research (if there are enough students, if not, you will participate in a regular
    group).

    If not approved, you can chose from the topics proposed by U.S.E. supervisors. You will be informed
    in time.
