Economics Research Methodology Guide
Budget: €250 – €750 EUR
I’m assembling a comprehensive guide that walks researchers through the full spectrum of methodology choices in economics and management. The material should speak to an audience already familiar with the field yet looking for a clear, rigorous roadmap they can adopt or adapt in their own work.
Where I am now
• I have a broad outline and a collection of scattered notes.
• The intended readers are fellow researchers who expect academic precision rather than an introductory survey.
Where I need help
I want the guide turned into a logically flowing, publication-ready document that:
• Frames the typical research questions in economics and management.
• Discusses alternative data collection approaches, analytical techniques, and research-design logic, explaining when each is most appropriate.
• Highlights common pitfalls and offers practical tips for ensuring validity and reliability.
• Cites current literature in APA style and includes real-world examples or mini case applications to illustrate each step.
Deliverables
1. A structured manuscript (≈8,000–10,000 words) in Word and PDF.
2. A reference list with at least 30 recent, peer-reviewed sources.
3. A one-page schematic or flowchart summarising the entire methodology process.
Acceptance criteria
• All sections are internally consistent and free of plagiarism (Turnitin score <10%).
• Terminology aligns with mainstream economics and management journals.
• Diagrams are clear and editable.
If you have a solid grasp of econometric reasoning, qualitative research traditions, or mixed-methods design, and can translate that expertise into a clean, compelling narrative, I’d love to collaborate.
