Research project: the effect of ASC 842 (Leases) on the debt ratios of NYSE-listed companies

Prof. Eleanor Hughes (fictional) · due Nov 27

Does the professor allow AI on this project?

The professor sets this. Here you can see both cases.

Step 3 of 6: Helper

What to do

Hand in the question and hypothesis, a literature review with at least four references, a method with panel data and a 10-minute presentation. Use the professor's references and your own. You can use the AI and helpers at every stage.

Sources

  • Source 1 (fictional) · Professor's reference 1 · Article on leases and leverage
  • Source 2 (fictional) · Professor's reference 2 · Class notes on Jensen and Meckling's agency theory
  • Source 3 (fictional) · Your source · Article on debt ratios
  • Source 4 (fictional) · Your source · Panel table, with fictional data

Sources and data in this demo are fictional. The names of standards and authors are real; no excerpt was copied.

AI rules

AIYou can ask the AI for help up to 15 times. Your professor sees how you used it.

  • Use AI to research, write and build the presentation, with simple requests or with a helper.
  • Every request goes on your work's timeline. Your professor grades your process, not just the final result.
  • The helper reads the professor's references and the sources you added. To use a standard, paste the excerpt as a source.

Course assignment: instructors and teaching assistants can read this project while you work, including the requests to the AI and the instructions, the AI’s answers (unused ones too), the map’s whole history and, when you submit, the reflection answers.

How the professor will assess

  1. Research question and hypothesis. The question is clear and the hypothesis says what will be measured.
  2. Method and data. States the sample, the variables, the period and how the panel will be built.
  3. Use of sources. Gathers and uses sources relevant to the assignment.
  4. How she used the AI's answers. Reviews what the AI proposes: adjusts, discards or accepts it with judgment.
  5. Stages of the work. Builds the work in stages, revising versions.
  6. Reflection. Answers the reflection questions in depth.
