Health Insurance and Mortality Reaction papers are 4-5 page original essays that generate some value-added to the course material; as such, summary of other sources should be kept to a minimum! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Reaction papers may be informal in tone (e.g. first person) and may include normative discussion; however, each paper must contain some positive analysis and a consistent and professional method of acknowledging and citing all sources (i.e., quotations, footnotes and a reference list). Reaction papers may critically review published research; expand or extend class discussion; analyze current news coverage or political debates; or even reflect on relevant personal experience including class lessons from other courses. Regardless of the substantive focus, reaction papers must be well-written. This means not only free of grammatical and spelling errors, but also well-crafted; in particular, papers should be succinct and logically coherent. Finally, papers must demonstrate that the author has incorporated appropriate lessons from economics (e.g. use economic terminology and concepts appropriately). reading: 1.
