Abstract
This paper is written as a guide for instructors/students on how to assign/complete a successful replication paper for an econometrics course. It discusses the benefits of replication, the pitfalls that students may encounter, and suggestions for which papers to choose to replicate. A suggested timeline is included for such an assignment. The paper ends with a successful replication (including all tables, figures, and R code) of Mankiw et al. (1992).
