Data, Method, and Emerging Markets Economic Research
One key goal in social science research is causal mechanism identification, which typically requires reliable data to model real-world social and economic dynamics accurately. However, datasets from emerging markets often contain significant flaws that hinder this objective. Developing unique research designs to leverage these flawed datasets has become an essential skill for scholars in this field. In this lecture series, our speaker will share his research experience, demonstrating how to creatively use flawed datasets to gain theoretical insights into emerging market economies, particularly in contexts where resource allocation processes are characterized by high levels of information asymmetry and moral hazards.
