Term Paper ingenuity.

When you have to submit close to 5 term papers in a month, how do you go about it.
I've taken the following courses this semester
1. International Trade
2.Economic Development
3.Microeconometrics(applied)
4.Time Series-Econometrics(theoretical)
5.Independent Study-DSGE Modeling.
6. thesis preparation
Here's how I've planned.
1. Literature survey ruled out-lack of time
2.Empirical study most preferred
3.Analytical writing with a own perspective and a little economtrics-not bad
4. Try to interlink the varying topics

Thus far, my plan is
1. International Trade-Labour migration and trade(from the US perspective-empirical analysis)
2.Economic Development-Brain Drain- From developing country perspective
3.Thesis, DSGE modeling-monetary policy modeling.
4.Microeconometrics-try as I did could not find anything on labour migration. Settled with good old education. Ordered probit model of what determines junior college/high school completion
5.Time series- I'll definitely try and connect it with my DSGE model. Probably, structural break in Canada's inflation regime in 1991.

So far so good. Atleast the topics are dowm. But terrible times lie ahead. Dae Jang geum(the korean show I'm crazy about. Upto buffy level even.) now needs to take a break from my eyes.I can almost hear her scream bu keyi..bu keyi..she has possessed me..

On the positive side, I am making a long due visit to NTU on Sunday. I geeky friend from school is now in a band. Shru J and I have a packed sunday. On saturday, I plan to visit China town with Chin chin for the Chinese new year celebration. I have much to look forward to ..:)
