Name of Professor
Part A
A (30% marks) does not demand 5 pages. That’s Part B instead, and as noted in the order the total is 6 pages, so I naturally assumed that Part A, apart from the actual print jobs to be done and the noting down of the references didn’t demand much. Kindly check again and clarify id need be.
Step 1
Find this book in the library and photocopy the title page (as required by professor)


Fig 1. Get this book’s title page and print it out for the professor
Step 2
Fig. 2 to Fig 6 is the first pages of each of the 5 journals required by the professors. Print them out as the professor requires from the assignment. Find the attached PDF files for better printouts as these are just screenshots.







Above: Fig 2 – Fig. 6
Step 3
Bibliography page for Trends in the Gender Pay Gap in Spain: A Semiparametric Analysis. We shall use “Blau FD, Kahn LM (1992) The gender earnings gap: learning from international comparison. Am Econ Rev 82:533–538” for our next step/task


Page 1 of the citation made above (as required by professor) Also, find attached PDF document for a clearer print out.


Step 4
I do not seem to find this article despite the various search variations I have done on the library database.
