the main thing you should turn in is a memo from you to the author (your classmate) whose work you're (re)analyzing. the point of the memo is to detail as many ways as possible to improve their work. Put the big points first, but include the details too. The replication of their replication should be pretty straightforward (if not explain why), and so that will leave most of your time available for finding ways of pushing forward and improving their analyses with different models, specifications, etc. if you can run things, do so; if you can't for some subset of the analyses, you can still make suggestions...

On monday, should we turn in a replicated copy of the replicated tables? And the code that we used to produce them? Anything else? /\llan _______________________________________________ gov2001-l mailing list gov2001-l(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu http://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/gov2001-l

Hi Olivia, I assume this is independent work, right? One more question, I am working on the problem set and I keep getting this error message "(list) object cannot be coerced to double". What does that mean? Thanks a lot!

Gary has also said at some point (these are pretty much his exact words) that for the assignment due Monday, "you will be graded based on how constructive you are, not how destructive." In other words: If you identify a problem, you will get much more credit if you also propose a solution. And please turn in two copies -- one for the authors and one for us. Have a great weekend! ;) On Fri, 26 Nov 2004, Gary King wrote:

The memo due on monday is independent work. As to the error message, it could mean a whole bunch of things. Can you send the line that causes the error, and then send the traceback()? And my offer for turkey still stands -- 6:30pm tomorrow at my place...
