Your paper should contain:1. Information about where the data come from. (Some suggestions for finding
data are at:http://libguides.csun.edu/ECON409/databases 2. Include a table of descriptive statistics. (Mean,
minimum, maximum, standard deviation of each variable.)3. A literature review of relevant work that
concerns your topic. You don’t have to mention every paper that covers your topic but the ones you think
are the most important.4. Theory: Why did you include the Xs that you did? (It may have something to do
with the literature review, if so, mention that.)5. What are your initial results?6. Test for possible violations of
OLS assumptions.7. How did you address any OLS problems?8. What other models did you try?9. What
are your “final” results? What do they mean? (You can have more than one set of “final” results.)10. Have a
nontechnical conclusion of what you learned about your topic from the paper.11. In general, make sure you
include all the work you did so you get credit for it (different models or tests, etc.) All tables, regression
printouts, etc. should be in the appendix, not the regular text of the paper, and should be referred to with
page numbers such as A-1, A-2,
