Looking at Technology and Productivity
Published by September 28th, 2006 in Uncategorized. 2 CommentsPart of my research project is looking at technological development and increasing productivity. In particular, I am looking at new weapons and new ways of employing weapons/troops to increase killing productivity in the First World War. I have not yet decided how I am going to incorporate technology in my paper. [...]

This posting is definitely feeling the previous posting: lack of experience in the field in which you will soon be making competent and authoritative arguments. It sounds like you have a good plan though.

Sooooo I was really bored with my previous topic and have decided to switch! I am interested on researching the affects of marriage in the
developed and developing world. This includes researching the difference between economies of monogomous and polygamous cultures. The articles I have read thus far have shown me that other variables such as divorce rates, [...]
Over the last week, it seems like every time I get on Econlit, Google scholar, Jstor or any other excellent resource I find an article that is uncomfortably close to my own topic. I’ve changed my research question (most recently) to: What are the long term effects (10 years) of China’s rapid industrialization on the trade patterns and welfare [...]
