Question 2

An economist at the University of Alaska at Anchorage has been asked to explain why the price of Alaskan crude oil has fallen recently. In order to assemble a scholarly answer, the professor should take which steps?
 a. Develop a hypothesis, test the proposition by engaging in empirical analysis, and examine the data to see if it fits with the facts.
  b. Gather data on crude oil prices and seemingly unrelated variables in order to look for associations, then formulate a hypothesis based on those unexpected associations.
