Each week, I will assign one paper to each student, who is required to write a brief up to 300 words for the assigned paper and lead the discussion on the paper in class. Here is the assignment for the first week.

In addition, I require each of you to conduct a further research on background theories or econometric methods in the assigned paper. You don’t need to write about it in your brief but will be asked to explain it to your classmates in class. Here is the assignment.
- Xinyu – IT productivity paradox

- Vicky – Market valuation framework

Please let me know if you have any question.
