What factors or assumptions would you have to make in order to conduct the research

At the end of Chapter 4 there are 5 different Social Science theories – please pick ONE of them and describe what steps you would take as a research to prove or disprove one of these theories. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?…

What data would you collect

How would you analyze that data

What steps would you take to look for and review previous literature on the theory

What factors or assumptions would you have to make in order to conduct the research

I’m interested in how you approach this, what your thoughts are as you work through the steps necessary to conduct the analysis and draw conclusions.

I’m looking for 4 to 5 paragraphs on this

note:

pick agency theory

choose any dataset which is flexible with that theory and write that 4Q thats its, nd describe what steps you would take as a research to prove or disprove one of these, there is a link if you want you can go through, thanks

example

What data would you collect

Agency theory states that two party relationship can be ruined due to conflict of interest. One example is that management of a company behaving very aggressive to achieve a higher return, while shareholders have lower risk appetite. Another example is company management making plans that will sacrifice the short-term profitability for prospective growth and higher earnings in the future, like expanding to a new market, but shareholders pursue high current financial performance.

We are targeting the agency problem caused by management acting for their own interest, or say incentives. We would try to collect all fraud cases happened in in the past 5 years and all management level salary structure and amount details across the whole country. Management’s payout is often a combination of fixed salary and incentive bonus depending on the company’s financial performances. If the payment structure of management that committed fraud have a higher percentage of incentive payouts, it proves the agency theory.
