Empirical research is research to examine real world phenomena based on observational or experimental data, which is a complement to theoretical research. It intensively uses statistical methods to summarize empirical data to provide statistical evidence based on hypothesis testing corresponding to research questions. The objective of this course is to learn basics of 1) how to find research questions in the field of social science through reading of existing studies (literature review); 2) to learn how to collect observational and experimental data (survey and experiment design); 3) how to analyze the data (statistical hypothesis testing). |
