Order Description
A successful paper will contain the following three elements
(1) With regard to understanding the economics of any given issue, you want to build from quality citations from outside the official reading list of the class. Quality here means relevant and not drawn from newspapers, blogs or policy advocates with a clearly biased perspective. Use the work of economists who are writing relatively objectively. The best way to track down other materials is through the footnotes and endnotes of the assigned readings, examining economics journals or searching from https://www.nber.org/, ideas.repec.org, or https://voxeu.org/ (all of which are repositories of economists work; if you didn’t draw your sources directly from an economics journal, or these repositories, DO NOT USE IT.). If you draw directly from a journal, make sure that journal is on the EconLit listing here: https://www.aeaweb.org/econlit/journal_list.php. If it is not, it may still be a valuable contribution, but it is hard to argue it constitutes economists views.
(2) To succeed in expressing the view of CST on a given issue, you should always and constantly refer back to the four key principles of CST and how they apply to the issue.
(3) The final ingredient for a successful paper is to put the facts (presented by economic analysis) in dialogue with the principles, as defined by CST. As an example: should we raise the minimum wage? To $40 per hour? Why not? Facts must come to bear on the application of principles, and your writing should integrate this point.
Notes on formatting: Citation style within economics is simple: a references section should be included in your papers (not counted in the page count), which only includes articles, books, etc. mentioned directly in your text (or footnotes). Citing someone is as simple as: “Beauchamp (2015) should be cited all the time.” That is, last name and year of publication in parentheses. For direct quotations and paraphrasing more than one sentence, use block-quoting. Papers should be written with 12 point (times new roman) font, 1’’ margins, 1.5’’ spacing.
