Your paper should
be at least 8 pages long double-spaced. It should emphasize quality rather
than quantity, and its structure should contain five sections: Introduction and
objective, Review of Literature, Economic Analysis; and Summary and Conclusion
and References.
a).
The introduction should be 1-2 paragraphs long. In this section, specify the
objective as clearly as possible. It should set the relevance of the topic and
finish with the main question or questions you want to answer in this paper. The
introduction must also state your main argument, idea or hypothesis of your
paper.
b).
Review of Literature. In this section, review several studies similar to what
you are writing on. Make sure to give proper credit to each author(s) whose
work you are quoting. Use the APA guidelines in referencing each article, book,
journal or the Internet source. In the final paragraph or paragraphs of this
section, explain how your paper will contribute to the body of knowledge. This
section should be 3-4 pages long.
c).
The Economic Analysis section should be 2-3 pages long. In this section you
should present the empirical evidence and with the help of some microeconomic
tools, you should explain rationally what happens in reality. Include terms
like demand, supply, variable and fixed costs, marginal or incremental changes,
marginal and average costs, price elasticity, income elasticity, maximization,
minimization, normal profit, competitive markets, product differentiation,
market structure, oligopoly, and other relevant terms.
d)
The summary and conclusion should be directly related to the objective of your
paper. This section should be about one page long and it should answer the
questions introduced in the objective of the paper. Be sure there is a strong
connection between the introduction and the conclusion. You can also expand on
the implications of your answer and predict something about the future.
The Final page or pages of your
paper must contain the “Reference” section. The references must be
drawn from the body of the paper. Use the APA style in listing the References. Your
References should include at least one scholarly article relevant to your
paper, a relevant book (not a textbook) and several Internet references.
Short
papers are nice pieces of art. Your paper will be evaluated on the clarity of
objective, rational coherence, quality of argument and format, more
specifically on the contribution to the body of knowledge on the main subject.
