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.
