A statement of your research question.

Roughly speaking, an empirical research paper is a research paper that includes data analysis. What topic are you interested in researching? I encourage you to propose a topic of personal interest. It is okay if modifications or changes need to be made later. What variables would be most relevant for your analysis? How would these variables be measured (i.e. continuous, discrete, qualitative)? What type of graphs or descriptive statistics would be most useful for describing your dataset?

Upload a gretl version of the dataset you plan to use to analyze your empirical research question. Provide a list of the variables you believe will be most relevant for your research.
