You must compile statistics in order to create a tax profile of the Puerto Rico tax payer (individuals) in essay
format.
The key issue being your interpretation of the data and the storytelling of your charts and graphs. All tables,
charts and graphs must include the full source of the data and must be accompanied with rigorous analysis. It is
my expectation that every time you present a table, chart or graph you must include quantitative and qualitative
analysis with emphasis on:
1) what is the reason you chose to present the data (Create an introduction)
2) what is the data interpreted (describe the data ex.: use full descriptive statistics panel in Excel) Use charts and tables.
3) explain why is the analysis of this data important? How do you find value for you or for constituents or potential investors?
4) always use prior published reviewed papers from subject matter experts (try Google Scholar, www.ssrn.com or www.researchgate.net and never use blogs or periodicals like newspapers, magazines, etc) Include references!
5) last but not least: once you have finalized #3, you must include conclusion and policy recommendations (e.g.: "now that I know that … so what?")
