FAQPage Schema
How do I generate research questions from economic phenomena?

To generate research questions from economic phenomena, you provide the observed phenomenon and your field to apply structured ideation frameworks, producing testable hypotheses and a structured research agenda.

What frameworks help with economics ideation and policy analysis?

Economics ideation frameworks include the Puzzle, Policy, Data, and Extension methods, which surface diverse research questions by approaching the economic phenomenon from multiple analytical angles.

How do I evaluate and refine economic research questions for feasibility?

You evaluate research questions using an evaluation matrix that assesses feasibility, contribution, interest, and identifiability to select the strongest ideas for your research agenda.

Can I use this ideation framework for dissertation literature reviews?

Yes, the ideation framework suits dissertation literature reviews and policy analysis by guiding the conversion of observed phenomena into structured, testable research questions.

What is the best way to start a new economics research project from a phenomenon?

The best way to start a new economics research project is providing the phenomenon and field to generate testable hypotheses, applying ideation frameworks to structure the initial research agenda.
