The emphasis is on students acquiring skills in identifying an economic problem, undertaking the required analysis using appropriate tools and disseminating the results.
Finding a research problem, formulating testable hypotheses, clearly defining objectives, conducting literature review, framing own research in relation to the previous published works, and clearly identifying contribution to knowledge that the research work is going to make.
Interpreting the results in relation to the expectations derived from the analytical framework and comparing them with previously published results.
Communicating these results effectively using tables and figures, deriving implications from the research which can be related to policy, extension work, and directions of research and development work.
