1. Describe the basic methods of economic research.

The term "research" is often loosely defined and thus used in a similar way. This unfortunate development results from a misconception about what is research. To properly understand what is research, it is good to start with common misconceptions about research. First, fact transferal is not research. Consider a typical high school research project. The teacher assigns a "research project" on some topic. The students went to the library, checked out several books, and might have copied several pertinent pages from the book. The typical student organized collected information and wrote up the "research report". What these students did is information gathering and organization; it is nothing more or nothing less. No doubt the student went through some motions associated with research. But finding fact and fact transferal alone is not research. Transfer of information from one source, namely books and pertinent pages, to another source, namely the so-called research report, is nothing more than fact transferal, but not research. To my distress I find many college students repeat this same mistake by submitting a ‘research report’ which is nothing but fact transferal from one source to their report. A second misconception about research is that research is related to laboratory research (for example, in chemistry or biology in the natural sciences). When people hear term the "research", they often conjure up this image. But research is not limited to certain fields of study; it is characterized by the methods used.

Research methods provide the specific details of how one accomplishes a research task (procedures and methods); It provides specific and detailed procedures of how to initiate, carry out, and complete a research task by mainly focusing on how to do it. Research methodology deals with general approaches or guidelines to conducting research. It provides the principles for organizing, planning, designing, and conducting research, but it cannot tell you in detail how to conduct a specific, individual research.

In carrying out an applied and quantitative economic research, there are several necessary backgrounds. The researcher should first have solid training in economic theory, quantitative methods(statistics and econometrics), data analysis techniques, and adequate training in micro-computer technology, as well as some training in research methods. Unfortunately, undergraduate students beginning their research most often do not have these backgrounds. Therefore, they are going to be overwhelmed and intimidated by the lack of necessary skills. Many often give up in frustration, even if they are willing to persevere and to learn these skills. What is sorely need is a practical guide to initiate, conduct, and complete an applied and quantitative economic research. One proven and effective way of learning these various skills which economists use is learning by doing by example.
