The course aims to provide students with a basis to conduct economic research. Students will be actively engaged in the discussion to understand the theoretical framework and apply the knowledge to real-world problems.

The students are expected to perform a presentation and lead an academic discussion. They will be able to explain and analyze economic phenomena in their own words.

This class is a continuation of Research Seminar II taught by Prof. Nguyen. The topic will be decided in the first meeting based on students' interests.
A possible topic would be
-Microeconomics
-Game theory and/or its applications (such as Industrial Organization)
-Continuation from the previous semesters (Macroeconomics or Econometrics)

In the first week, we will discuss the seminar plan and schedule presentations. The next 10-12 classes (the duration may change depending on the number of participants) are devoted to reading the textbook(s). Students are required to take turns studying the textbook and presenting the content. The last 2-4 weeks are devoted to students' presentations on their topics of interest (preferably with analysis using the knowledge acquired during the seminar).

Note: While not directly relevant to evaluation, students are allowed to use generative AI to help their study. However, they need to be aware that the currently used AIs (such as chatGPT) do not necessarily tell you correct statements about your inputs (particularly when you ask something academic or professional). It is their responsibility to make a "fact-check" on the output.

The textbook will be decided in the first meeting based on students' interests.

Presentation and discussion

The course evaluation is based on quality of presentation and engagement.
For example, students who can exhibit their understanding of the contents by clearly explaining the materials, providing appropriate examples of some concepts, and coming up with an interesting research agenda are likely to obtain high evaluations. Active participation in discussions is also a plus factor.

The instructor provides suggestions and feedback.
