3. Term essay

Description: For this task, you are required to propose a research project that:

(i) Identfies a development challenge in the context of a developing country;
(ii) Proposes solutions/intervention(s) to address the challenge; and (iii)

Describes a feasible research design to test how elective the proposed solutions/interventions are in addressing the identfied development challenge.

While the project will not be implemented, it needs to be feasible and useful to policy makers in the country. Students will be assessed both on originality of the research project, and their demonstrated knowledge on conceptual clarity and appropriate empirical identfication strategies. The project does not have to be an RCT. In fact, the use of other identfication strategies (e.g., natural experiments, quasi-experiments) are equally encouraged.

The project will be developed in several steps starting with (i) Identfication of a development challenge (Topic selection) in Week 5, followed by (ii) First version submission in Week 8, (iii) Presentation in Weeks 12-13, and (iv) Final version submission in Week 12.

Thefinal version, due on Friday, 05 November, 5:00 pm, must be submitted online to the assignment Dropbox on Canvas. The maximum allowable word count (excluding tables, references, & appendices) is 2,000 words.
