students. The final product of the project will consist of a short (at most 10 pages) paper and a presentation given to the class at the end of the course. Applying the course’s methods to your own research is most welcome, as is doing methodological work or simulation-based work. I can provide also data on specific case studies that the students can analyze in their final project.
