Write and submit a brief summary of the article (no more than 1 page, single-spaced)which (1) summarizes the main findings of the research and how these findings were reached (did the researchers run an experiment, hand-collect unique data, or use basic sets of archival data on stock returns, financial statements, etc.), (2) why this result is important, and (3) questions you think remain unanswered. Note that most academic journal articles run 20 to 30 pages.

Also, avoid articles which are “surveys” of the literature (they summarize prior research).
