I am involved in a journal club session for undergraduate single honours economics. It is part of a wider module that will utilise case-studies, empirical projects, presentations, seminars etc., to cultivate enthusiasm for economic research and to prepare people for the final year dissertation in second term. There are five groups so we are going for one paper each to start off. Anyone got any thoughts on the list below? Designed to be representative of modern empirical economics but relatively accessible.
