The aim of the project is to test a certain theory or analyse
some behaviour using a cross-sectional sample from the World Bank
database https://data.worldbank.org/
The applied research project should include the following: •
Introduction / Rationale (5 marks) • Empirical approach: a) State
the hypothesis that you are testing. What is the dependent
variable? What is the independent variable? How do you expect the
association between the independent and the dependent variables? (3
mark) b) Select two control variables in addition to the chosen
independent variable in part a. Does the inclusion of control
variables affect the relationship that you are testing? (2 mark) •
Description of the dataset: What is the sample size? What is the
frequency of the data used? What does the sample consist of? (3
mark) • Empirical results: a) Table 1 showing the results of the
simple linear regression (estimated coefficients, standard errors,
R-squared and adjusted R-squared) (2 mark) b) Table 2 showing the
results of the multiple linear regression (estimated coefficients,
standard errors, R-squared and adjusted R-squared) (3 mark) c)
Results of the appropriate statistical tests used to test the
stated hypothesis. (3 mark) d) Comments on the results (2 mark) •
Conclusion: (2 mark)
