As for the topic: this is what it says “Either: (1) write a research paper on a topic that can be addressed using variables selected from one of the two datasets made available in the lab sessions (WVS2012 or AUSSA2011); or (2) write a research paper in which you replicate and extend the analyses reported in a previously published study.” I don’t mind which one: I can provide the 2 .dta file (WVS2012, AUSSA2011). Also I have attached this document which was the first assignment I had to do, which gives some idea as to what to include
