Please read carefully the following questions that your paper MUST answer:

1. Are the research questions clearly stated and well-defined? (Comment of the analysis/results of the tables of a paper)
2. Do the authors establish why the topic is important and what we learn from the research?
3. Are the topics well positioned within the literature? This means you must include a Literature Review of similar topics (Please read: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/literature-review/?gclid=CjwKCAiAhreNBhAYEiwAFGGKPG6Hp8Ja0yJIds5IqLBBcZZr5itSobt8lPMgZUbcLoGPyH4EnJyuqxoCsrEQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds)
4. What is novel or unique about the paper?
5. Have the authors proposed reasonable identification strategies and used proper econometric approaches? (identification strategy: identifies the assumptions needed for statistical estimates to be given a causal interpretation. “What is your identification strategy?” = “What research design (and assumptions) are you using?” What is the identification strategy? An identification strategy is the manner in which a researcher uses observational data (i.e., data not generated by a randomized trial) to approximate a real experiment. Are there issues with endogeneity of the explanatory variables, which are not discussed in the paper? Can you think why the dependent variable might be used to explain variation in the regressors? Are there other influences on the dependent variable that are not included in the regression? Do you think that they are correlated with the regressors? If so, what is the anticipated direction of the bias? Suggest other potential sources of bias. For each source of bias, write the data generating process, the estimating equation and the estimator. Explain why the estimator is biased.
6. Have the authors been thorough and provided sufficient attention to detail.
7. Are the authors’ claims substantiated by the evidence?  Do you buy the conclusions? (in some sense, every paper has ‘flaws’, but the question is whether they’re serious or mild, whether they have consequences for the story of the paper).
8. Is the article well written?  Why or why not?
9. Conclusion and How different or similar are these documents to published papers that we have studied? “Conclusion” Why do we care about your results? Do they have policy or managerial implications?

Your paper must include a standpoint from yourself whether you agree with the author/authors claim or not and explain why.

One thing that must be clear is: in the references/bibliography you are expected to look for additional sources other than the documentary itself. The documentary itself does not count as a reference. Likewise, if you do not have a direct quote of any of said “outside” refereces you may not include them as part of your bibliography. If you Google search something, but you do not use it in your verbaige please do not include as part of your references “google search” You may only use as a reference/bibliography something you mention or quote in your essay.
