You must provide a literature review of the economic concepts relevant to the research topic you identified above. This literature review will help you conceptualize and operationalize your research question. It must be comprised of at least three (3) articles from scholarly, reputable economics journals. Most students will rely upon more than three sources. Previous literature on your topic can be found using academic journals’ electronic portals such as:
EconLit—http://www.aeaweb.org/econlit/Links to an external site.
JStor—http://www.jstor.org/Links to an external site.
Journal of Economic Perspectives—https://www.aeaweb.org/journals/jepLinks to an external site.
Journal of Economic Literature— https://www.aeaweb.org/journals/jelLinks to an external site.
Handbooks in Economics—http://www.elsevier.com/books/book-series/handbooks-in-economicsLinks to an external site.
New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics—http://www.dictionaryofeconomics.com/dictionaryLinks to an external site.
Each of these resources is available to you, free of charge, via our library website (http://library.northeastern.edu/findLinks to an external site.). If you are in doubt regarding how to use any of these resources, I recommend that you consult a librarian at the Northeastern library.
Your sources must be reputable. “Reputable” scholarly journals are peer-reviewed and widely cited by the academic community. If you are uncertain whether one of your articles is found in a reputable scholarly journal, consider searching for the journal in an online list of economics journal rankings, for instance, the IDEAS/RePEc Simple Impact Factor for Economics Journals (https://ideas.repec.org/top/top.journals.simple.htmlLinks to an external site.). Obviously, you should never rely upon an article found in a “predatory journal,” which is a journal that publishes papers for a hefty fee and without peer review. An article in Science (http://science.sciencemag.org/content/342/6154/60Links to an external site.) provides a list of open-access journals that were successfully spoofed by a researcher, suggesting these journals are possibly not reputable and perhaps predatory in nature.
Please note that media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg News, The Economist, and the like are not considered reputable scholarly journals and will not be accepted as part of your literature review. Of course, feel free to use such informal sources to motivate your topic to the reader; however, note that such sources will not count towards the minimum of at least three articles from reputable scholarly journals.
Additionally, your sources should be relatively recent. This means that your sources should not have become intellectually obsolete. For instance, an article from 1975 that was later convincingly contradicted by articles from the 2000s would not be considered “relatively recent.”
For each of the reputable scholarly sources you select for your literature review, you should provide a brief, to-the-point summary of the article and describe how the source will help with your research topic. For example, suppose you are performing research on the determinants of crime, and you found an article by Isaac Ehrlich that is relevant to your research topic. This article could then be potentially incorporated into your literature review as follows (the ellipses are incorporated for brevity; a proper review would be more thorough):
“Ehrlich (1996) develops an economic model of the behavior of criminals. His main assumptions are that…. Using a dataset of…, his empirical findings are that…, which provides a novel contribution to the academic literature on the determinants of crime. Specifically, Ehrlich (1996) finds that crime is a function of…, providing empirical support for the theoretical claim that punishment severity has a deterrent effect on the crime rate. This is interesting because my research topic stipulates that crime may also be a function of another factor, which is not necessarily considered in, but also not refuted by, Ehrlich (1996). This, in turn, may mean that there is a need to research whether other factors affect crime rates. Additionally, if no one has tackled such a question before, then my research topic is unique and may provide useful recommendations for policymakers seeking to deter crime.”
You must then cite this article in your bibliography (on a separate page at the end of your paper):
Ehrlich, Isaac. 1996. “Crime, Punishment, and the Market for Offenses.” Journal of Economic Perspectives. 10(1). Pp. 43-67. RUBRIC ATTACHED NEED THREE ARTICLE ANALYSIS
