Continue with the research question you had chosen in class.

Use AI iteratively to help you create a report.

Important

Tasks

Option A (easy)

  • Think in terms of two variables (\(x\) and \(y\)).
    • Pick a single variable or a combined index of variables
    • Pick a GDP variable
    • Think about a causal link.
  • Create one carefully designed graph to illustrate the relationship (Graph 1)
  • At each step, explain your choices/decisions (ie why you chose a certain variable)
  • Create a Conclusion paragraph where you summarize your work and results in 80-100 words.

Option B (advanced)

  • In addition to the tasks in Option A, create another graph to show heterogeneity of country size groups using population (Graph 2)
  • Run a regression and interpret the coefficient.

To submit

  • Submission 1: Submit a maximum 1-1.5 page report in .pdf format (including exhibits) (lastname_firstname_dawai_week03_report.pdf) (12p)
  • Submission 2: Submit your code (or aprovide a link). (4p)
  • Submission 3: What advice would you give to a fellow data analysis student on using AI to create a report? (lastname_firstname_dawai_week01_advice.txt) (4p)
    • List 2–3 pieces of advice based on your own experience using AI for this specific task.

Important:

  • Upload your report to the student folder called Reports at moodle or similar service if applicable. This is for the next class
  • Important: Do not use AI to help you generate the advice. We want to hear your personal examples and reflections, not AI-generated suggestions.
  • Next class in the first 20 mins each group will read another groups report and discuss the good and bad aspects of the report.
