About presenting my research paper at the Annual Economics Seminar 2021.
(Research Paper)
Speaking in front of an audience that comprises 100 people who are more learned than you is never easy (even if they stare at you from tiny, separated Zoom boxes).
This Friday, I found myself at the Annual Economics Seminar presenting a research paper I’d worked on for the better half of last year. Behavioral Economics is a niche that I was almost nudged into when I took both Psychology and Economics for my ISC degree;
but the subject has never failed to amaze me even a year down the line.
Collecting primary data, as well as analyzing secondary data, in a mostly qualitative paper, while being in the midst of a raging pandemic, took a whole lot of everything from me.
I weirdly enjoyed it though. Decision-making, rationality, and humans (in general) are pretty strange and complex things. I swear I worded this better in the research paper, though.
I may be literate enough to write a research paper, but we haven’t gotten to the point where I’m literate enough to embed the doc with the research paper on a Medium post.
[edit:
I am literate. (Research Paper)]
I really do hope you’re nudged towards a subject that makes you wonder.
