The paper should be a 3000 word data analysis report in a format that resembles a PNAS data report.
Introduce a question and theory and then spend the majority of the paper explaining how the data itself should be investigated using R.
It should be like a 6 page methodology part of a paper that explains the issue shortly and how to go about with the methodological part of the data analysis, but stopping where the method part ends.
The important thing about this paper is to show an ability to set up a research design where you analyze variables on an issue relating to inequalities with the help of R.
The data for the analysis should come from an open source database such as the ESS (European social survey).
The attached syllabus describes the course and gives an indication on suitable topics, feel free to choose a topic for the data report as long as it relates to inequality.
