Assignment title: Information
Please see attachment for article. The article is titled "Disability Transfers, Self-Reported
Health, and the Labor Force Attachment of Older Men: Evidence from the Historical
Record" and written by John Bound and Tim Waidmann. Please read the article and write a
reaction paper. Your paper should be two page long, typed in a Microsoft Word document
with Times New Roman size-12 font, double-space, and page margins set at 1 inch.
In your paper, please focus on carefully discussing correlations and causations: What
correlations does the article indicate? What causations does the article suggest? Be specific.
Explain what data, statistics, and/or method that the authors use to find those correlations and
causations.
Lastly, if you were to conduct a research project on related topic, is there any hypothesis that
you are interested in (further) testing out?
[Note that certain part of the Bound-Waidmann article can be too technical, for which please
feel free to ignore. This section mainly intends to encourage and assess your logical thinking
and formulating statements about association/correlation and causation.]
