I am stuck in a rock and a hard place, sort of. On one hand I am supposed to write a review on methodology and economists are famous for writing secretive codes. It is impossible to review economic methods without using derivatives and Greek letters, as any single paper is full of those. On the other hand the review has to be layman friendly, as the audience is non-economic majors I was told.Other than telling anecdotes, as suggested by my advisor, I thought another technique we used for the last round of project reports could be helpful--debugging hard-to-swallow concepts and technical jargons and shovel them into boxes. No, not recycle boxes, but boxes designated to flag "Leave me alone if you want" topics. Content in boxes, as far as I understand, often feature supplementary reading for those interested in knowing more.
Here are the boxes I currently have for the literature review. It is a bit too much I know but hopefully I will be able to incorporate these issues in the main text.
