Journal Article Review

The purpose of this assignment is to familiarize you with some of the current literature. A university education is not just about memorizing facts, it allows you to become a specialist in your field. As such, you should be familiar with current research and able to read specialized material too difficult for those without knowledge of economics. This assignment will allow you to practice these skills.

You are to write a summary of one of the following three articles:

Burton, P. & Phipps, S. & Zhang, L.(2014). The Prince and the Pauper: Movement of Children up and down the Canadian Income Distribution. Canadian Public Policy 40(2), 111-125.

Chandler, V.(2014). The Effectiveness and Distributional Effects of the Tax Credit for Public

Transit. Canadian Public Policy 40(3), 259-269.

Sealey, A. & Andersen, R.(2015). Income Inequality and Popular Support for Redistributive

Policies in Canada, 1993–2008. Canadian Public Policy 41(1), 51-64.

Your summary should be approximately 750 words, double spaced, in size 12 times new roman font. If you find it helpful in your summary you may reproduce tables or figures from the article, but make sure you cite them properly if you do so.

Your summary should include:

An explanation of the question the article addresses and why it matters

An explanation of the methodology and data used in the article

An explanation of the author’s main conclusions

Your own critique of the significance of the article and how readable and useful it is

In explaining the importance of the question, and in your critique of the article, you should refer to at least two other sources.

You will be graded on your summary and critique, as well as on formatting, quality and clarity. You should pretend you are employed and have been asked to prepare this summary for your boss – you would want to give them work of a high quality.

Your reference list (not included in the max 750 word count) should include the article you are discussing and any other sources. All items mentioned in your work must be in the reference list, and all items in the reference list must be cited in-text.

Use APA format for in-text citations and your reference list. A guide to APA format can be found at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/
