DescriptionYour paper should clearly describe recent trends in income inequality, make an
argument about the most likely causes of these trends, and support this argument with
appropriate citations and evidence. In other words, you need to describe the empirical
phenomenon of interest, provide a thesis statement about the causes of this phenomenon, explain
why the reader should be persuaded by your thesis, and do so by engaging and citing relevant
course material or outside sources. All papers should have a reference list and appropriate in-text
citations.
