Part 6 | Communication
> effectively communicate your analysisIn Parts 1 and 2 we developed the visualization tools to understand our data. In Parts 3 through 5 we developed the statistical tools to make claims about the truth from our sample. In Part 6 we turn our focus to communicating our findings clearly. Here we focus on crafting clear narratives about economic relationships, choosing the right visualizations for our findings, and presenting results with slides in ways that are easily understandable. We've already developed most of the skills. Here's where we tie it all together.
Part 6.1 | Economic Data Analysis
Design a complete analysis workflow from data import to final results.
- Find a dataset for your research question.
- Create effective visualizations of your data (Parts 1 and 2).
- Develop an appropriate statistical model for your sample (Parts 3 - 5).
- Interpret your results in words.
- Keep a replication folder so others can recreate your analysis.
