4. Submit a 7 page long paper (this page count does not include the pages with the R output). The paper should include the following sections:
(i) Description: a description of the issue you are analyzing.
(ii) Summary: report the descriptive statistics of each variable.
(iii) Hypothesis: state the hypothesis that is being tested.
(iv) Regression Results: report your estimation results.
(v) Plot the residuals. Are the residuals consistent with the assumption of classical regression?
(vi) Hypothesis Testing: report the results from your hypothesis test. Include at least one hypothesis where you are testing if two or more variables, but not all slope coefficients, are equal to some value. (e.g., zero.)
(vii) Policy Implications: discuss the implications of your results. What are the policy implications of your research?
(viii) R Outputs: include your R code and outputs at the end of the paper. This part does not count in the 7 pages requirement of the paper.
