Hello ! Tutors Good evening how are you ? I hope safe and healthy and doing well, I need help with this and appreciate all the help being im weak in this topic Im thankful for reading my question and taking the time out to help! me :-)

you will explore how economists communicate their research findings with each other through professional, peer-reviewed journals.

Here is what you need to do:

1. Find an article in a professional, peer-reviewed, open-access economics journal on a topic that interests you. Here are some helpful resources:

(a) Wikipedia lists some examples of professional economics journals here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_economics_journals(Links to an external site.)

Some of these are open access, some of these provide some of their articles open access, and many do not have open access at all.

(Links to an external site.)

Once you select a journal, select the "peer-reviewed" and "open access" filters. Contact our friendly reference librarians if you need more help finding an open access, peer-reviewed journal.

(c) You can also try a Google search. Just make sure that you ultimately find a peer-reviewed, open access journal.

2. Study the article, focusing on understanding what the author is trying to say. NOTE: these articles are written by professional economists for other professional economists, most of the content of such articles will include professional language that probably won't be very clear. The best thing to do is to read only the introduction and the conclusion/summary parts and just get a general idea of what the author(s) is trying to say.

3. Post a brief summary of the article, including:

(a) What did the author research, what was her/his topic? If the author poses a research question or hypothesis of some kind, include that in your summary (with proper quotes and citation).

(b) What method did she/he use? Perhaps a survey, an experiment, a statistical analysis of numerical data, a computer model, other?

(c) What does the author conclude based on her/his research? (Very briefly summarize.)

Use the following structure for your summary:

Title: Estimating the effect of air pollution on road safety using atmosphere temperature inversions

Author: lutz Sager

Journal: Journal of Enviromental Economics and Management

Volume and Publication Date: Vol. 98, November 2019

URL: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S009506918301

Topic/Hypothesis: The author hypothesies that an increase in air pollution results in an increase in the number of automatible accidents

Method: Analysis of daily data from the U.K during the period 2009 to 2014. Data include the number of traffic accidents, the quantity of air pollution (micrograms per cubic meter of particulate matter) and other variables related to traffic safety

Conclusion/Summary : The author writes in the abstract that "we find an increase of 0.3 -0.6% in the number of vehicles involved in accidents per day for each additional 1 ug/m3 of PM 2.5 The finding suggests that less safe roads may present a large and previously overlooked cost of air pollution. :"
