Research paper must provide economic analysis of your research (research paper’s title).

Research paper to be an economic analysis of a current (2013-2019) International Trade and Finance activity.

Focus on economic analysis of activity occurring 2013 or later.

Economic analysis to address the economic activity and financial implications of your research topic expressed in the affected country’s currency or US dollars.

Economic analysis must address relevant economic factors expressed monetarily. Relevant economic factors could include but are not limited to: labor, material, manufacturing, shipping costs, savings, expenses, taxes, return on investment (ROI), profitability, monetary benefits, monetary detriments, etc.

Disparity in socioeconomic factors, political considerations, environmental impact, etc. must be addressed as an economic variable, not a political/social problem.

Background information and definitions should be minimal

Do not provide political analysis

An example, if you wish to write about locating foreign automobile manufacturers to right-to-work states and then only tell me about local unionization problems, your grade will be minimal since you did not address the economic impact of the location selection.
