which should all be good sources of current issues concerning academic
economists

Data
There are now a variety of data sources on the internet.
Many UK macroeconomic statistics, (inflation, unemployment, gdp etc), can
be downloaded from the Office for National Statistics website
https://www.statistics.gov.uk/statbase/timezone.asp

The bized site also contains access to official UK data alongside company
account data and some international data.
https://www.bized.ac.uk/dataserv/datahome.htm

You can find stock market data at the Stock Exchange’s web site
https://www.londonstockexchange.com/

or from yahoo
https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=%5EFTSE

A very good source of international data both cross section and time series is
given at the Resources for Economists website

https://rfe.wustl.edu/EconFAQ.html

and also the Statlib website

https://lib.stat.cmu.edu

and also the university of Michigan

https://www.lib.umich.edu/govdocs/stforeig.html

The World Bank also has data

https://worldbank.org

https://www.51lunwen.org/projectmanagement/and there are lots of data and ideas at

https://www.economagic.com/
 and https://pwt.econ.upenn.edu

The library also has a useful link to some sites

https://www.rhul.ac.uk/information-services/library/resources/economicsandmanagement.html

For those of you interested in working with cross section data. I have put 2
different cross section data sets on the course web site
GHS_project.dta – which has information on wages, health, smoking,
drinking, education and other socio-demographic characteristics of individuals
taken from the General Household Survey
(you can find a codebook giving details of the variables at

https://www.data-archive.ac.uk/findingData/snDescription.asp?sn=5150#doc )

Food_project.dta - which has information on household spending on various
consumer items taken from the Expenditure & Food Survey
(you can find a codebook giving details of the variables at

https://www.data-archive.ac.uk/findingData/snDescription.asp?sn=5375#doc )

You will of course have to choose which variables to model and give
economic reasons for your choice.
These are just guides to help you. You may, of course, find your own data.

Analysis
Ideally your project should look and be structured like an article you can find
in any of the economic journals listed above.
So your project should include the following sections:

Theoretical Framework
Set out the economic theory underlying your project and use it to specify a
model and the resulting hypotheses to be tested. Set out your prior
expectations of the likely signs and magnitudes of the coefficients. Discuss
any econometric problems you expect to encounter.

Data
Discuss the sources for your data. Give the exact definition of variables (in a
Table in an appendix) and sample period, Describe the main features of the
data using a table of sample means and their standard errors. Graph the
trends in the dependent and, perhaps, the independent variables. Comment
on the main trends/features.
Econometric Method
