Research Paper: Literature Review, Data Sources
Your assignment is to write a research paper on the 2007-2010 financial crises: exploring causes, comparing similar events in history, determining implications and policy responses, exploring international aspects.

You must also find quantitative data sources to support arguments you make in support of your thesis. Use the tabs above in this guide to find helpful sources and suggestions on how to use them.
