Econ

For your first paper analysis, I ask that you read "Medicaid generosity and food hardship among children" by Moellman and Vaughn (2023). I have provided a template that I would like you to use. Please update the template per the instructions below.

For this paper, we are focusing on  what an economics research question looks like. Through the sections, you should be analyzing the following questions:

1. What is the research question?

2. What methods are used to answer the question?

3. What are the benefits and the drawbacks of answering the methods used?

4. What are the main findings?

5. What are the implications of the findings?

6. Overall, what is your assessment of the paper?

Note:  your goal is not to directly address these questions. Meaning, I don't want you to literally write "What is the research question? Well..." in your analysis. Instead, after reading your analysis, I should feel like these questions have been answered.

For this paper, I want you to include the following sections:

Section 1: Summary

Summarize the paper, including the main findings. This will focus on questions 1, 4, and 5 above.

Section 2: Methods

Summarize the methods used in the paper. This will focus on question 2 above.

Section 3: Analysis

This is your analysis. This will focus on questions 3 and 6 above. Here, I really want you to be thinking about your assessment of  how the question is answered, not necessarily whether you like the paper. Are the methods convincing? How could you adapt them, or how could you improve them? What are the challenges you would face? Etc.

As with all paper analyses in this course, you should follow these guidelines:

· Deliverable should be  more than one page but  less than two pages.

· Font should be Times New Roman, 12 point, single spaced. Margins should be standard 1 inch.

· Language should be precise, analytical, and succinct.

· You are not required to cite outside sources, but it may help. Make sure any source you utilize is cited in a references section. This will not count towards the body of the text.

· Points may be deducted for spelling, grammar, syntax, and layout issues. The goal is to have this report look professional.
