ECON 1021

Economic Methods

Undergraduate Programmes 2023/24

SUMMATIVE ASSIGNMENT

In this study you are expected to collect data to analyse the relationship between GDP and economic and social preferences. You can find data on GDP at Worldbank Data. You can also find economic (patience and risk aversion) and social preferences (altruism, trust, positive and negative reciprocity) at https://gps.iza.org/home.

To perform. your analysis, you need to clean and sort your data. That is, you need to match country-level data from each data set. Moreover, you need to remove countries without data (make sure the names are correctly spelled in both datasets!). Relevant graphs and rigorous statistical analysis should support your conclusions. 

Overall word limit: 1500 words

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Your completed assignment must be uploaded to Ultra
no later than 12:00 midday on 2^nd August 2024.

A penalty will be applied for work uploaded after 12:00 midday as detailed in the Student Information Hub.  You must leave sufficient time to fully complete the upload process before the deadline and check that you have received a receipt. At peak periods, it can take up to 30 minutes for a receipt to be generated.

Assignments should be typed, using 1.5 spacing and an easy-to-read 12-point font. Assignments and dissertations/business projects must not exceed the word count indicated in the module handbook/assessment brief.

 The word count should:

§ Include all the text, including title, preface, introduction, in-text citations, quotations, footnotes and any other items not specifically excluded below.

§ Exclude diagrams, tables (including tables/lists of contents and figures), equations, executive summary/abstract, acknowledgements, declaration, bibliography/list of references and appendices. However, it is not appropriate to use diagrams or tables merely as a way of circumventing the word limit. If a student uses a table or figure as a means of presenting his/her own words, then this is included in the word count.

Examiners will stop reading once the word limit has been reached, and work beyond this point will not be assessed. Checks of word counts will be carried out on submitted work, including any assignments or dissertations/business projects that appear to be clearly over-length. Checks may take place manually and/or with the aid of the word count provided via an electronic submission. Where a student has intentionally misrepresented their word count, the School may treat this as an offence under Section IV of the General Regulations of the University. Extreme cases may be viewed as dishonest practice under Section IV, 5 (a) (x) of the General Regulations.

Very occasionally it may be appropriate to present, in an appendix, material which does not properly belong in the main body of the assessment but which some students wish to provide for the sake of completeness. Any appendices will not have a role in the assessment - examiners are under no obligation to read appendices and they do not form. part of the word count. Material that students wish to be assessed should always be included in the main body of the text.

Guidance on referencing can be found on Durham University website and in the Student Information Hub.
