Dalhousie University Impact of Smog on Beijing Presentation you will prepare a presentation (PPT for example). The topic should be based on one of the following topics: Air pollution (local/ regional/ or global), water pollution (ex: ocean pollution/ drinking water…), waste (plastics, municipal solid waste, e-wastes…), biodiversity (ex: bees, rainforest…). Your presentation should include: (a) A description of the issue – What is it? How important is it? Where?… (b) A link between the issue and other (economic) variable(s). Ex: What variables explain e-waste? What are the main sources of ocean pollution or bee extinction? For this, you will need to read and use peer reviewed economic articles (at least 5!) on the topic. You may find some examples of such articles on Brightspace. (c) A discussion of policy implications or message to take home. Overall, you should have between 5 and 10 slides. Considering that you will not be presenting in person, these slides should be self-explanatory (i.e. sentences instead of bullet points for example). Your final draft is due on Wednesday, June 3d (by 5pm Atlantic time). Title

Introduction (1-3 pages),
 Hello, I thought I would give you some pointers for your project PPT slides.
 On the first page, think of a catchy/ good title
 In the introduction you should explain how important the topic is (or since
when is it a problem, some figures maybe? Some data, cited correctly)
 You may include additional info in the notes at the end of each page
Research Question (1 page)
 What is your question ?
 Remember your research question should be phrased as “how… or What
factors…”.
 Why did you pick this particular question?
 For example, if you selected to look at e-wastes, are you looking at global data?
For a given country? Why?
 Note: this ties in the “why this topic is important part”.
Literature Review (2-4 pages)
 How did previous studies look at the issue? Are there many of them? What are their
findings (in short)?
 Group studies by theme
 For example: if you are looking at air pollution in Brazil (all GHGs),
 How was topic studied in the rest of the world? Some studies fid this, some others find that…
 What were the main determinants of air pollution? Some studies look at the difference
between rural and urban air pollution overall, some others look at air pollution and
economic activity/ income (see also Environmental Kuznet curve – also explained in our last
chapter of the course)
 What were some of the policies implemented that seem to work/ didn’t work?
 Example:
 Studies have looked at the impact of air pollution on children’s health (author1, year; author2, year)
 Others have looked at explaining the reasons for air pollution. Author2, (year) found that… But
author4 (year) found the opposite…
 Note: references can be included here ( in notes) or at the end of the presentation. Do
include at least 5 peer reviewed articles (in Economic journals preferrred)
Conclusion (1-2 pages)
 Here, you will:
 Restate your question,
 Sum up the main findings (i.e. what did you find out from your reading?)
 Where would you take it from there? (if say you were writing an honour’s
thesis on this, what would you look at?
 Policy implications from your findings?
References
 Should be in alphabetical order and style (ex: APA) should be consistent.
