Urban Colossus: Why Is New York Americas Largest City?Article by Edward Glaeser essential Here is some guidance for the questions:- Word limit: It is meant to force you to be precise and to mimic the type of questions you will find in the exam (short questions). We understand if you go slightly over, no need to cut a sentence short due to the word limit, but try to stay close to the word limit. Mathematical formulas don’t count to the word limit. Citations are not included in the word count, you can add any references to the end if needed. Otherwise, adding the name of the author of the paper and the year in the main answer is enough – All questions: The word limit is the TOTAL amount of words you can write to answer the question. – Question 3: Growth accountingThere was a typo in the assignment. I refer to Table I, in page 91 (sorry about the mistake), the same table you have in slide 25 of week 7 lecture.Relative to the last part of the lecture, I just uploaded a new version of the assignment with a hint to help you answer it. – Question 4: Yes, you have to answer What are the main challenges to understand the contribution of institutions to economic growth?. You can do this in a short sentence and then continue with the rest of the questions. – Additional readings and material: The assignment has been written in order to make sure you have been paying attention and watching the pre-recorded material. Most of the questions will be easy enough for you to answer using only the materials covered in the slides. For the most difficult ones you may want to look at specific papers mentioned in the reading lists to look for details or read other materials to complement your answers.
