This talk is about how to conduct research and write research papers in economics and finance. We will discuss about the commonly adopted modelling framework and empirical methodologies, especially some classical research topics and modelling methods in macroeconomics, finance, and time series. We will also talk about the appropriate structure of a research paper, and important things that we need to know when writing good research papers.
