In addition to the readings, you will be required to write a more detailed literature review of the topic of your choice and a proposal that uses the literature review to develop new hypotheses and design a method for testing the hypotheses.
Seminar participants will be required to present assigned papers. The presentation should include a general discussion and explanation of the psychological and ecomomics concepts or techniques. Analysis of the articles should cover the following points:
A. Objective - what did the author try to do?
B. Methodology - how did he/she try to do it?
C. Results - what was found?
D. Limitations - critique - are the findings still valid given the limitations?
Each paper will be assigned a "presenter" who will provide the written summary outlined above and a "discussant" who will critique the paper. The presenter will be expected to be able to respond to these critiques (lecturers will also add their input for which you should be prepared).
Approval will be based upon your presentations, participation in discussions, and literature review/proposal.
