Overview
You will need to identify at least two variables, we will assume just two and call them x and y, and develop an economic rationale for a relationship to exist between them.You will also need to identify at least one dummy variable to use as a control variable.You can find data from the IPUMS USA data base and you can use the state of the respondent as a dummy variable, but you may use data from other sources if you wish.If you use IPUMS, you should restrict your sample to data from the census years from 1850 to 1910.You must have your x and y (and maybe z) and your dummy variable approved by me.You must get this approval by October 20th.
