it's good to know that the vast majority of my efforts this semester will result in a paper that is effectively nothing more than statistical faffing about with no relevance what-so-ever simply due to when I decided to write the paper

yay educational wanking!

I spent a semester writing a 30 page report (data included obv) that verifies that the wealth effect is indeed a thing

The wealth effect or that I wrote a paper on it?

In both cases the answer is yes

Your paper obviously. Just say "trivial, gtfo" and get another Micro teacher next semster after he fails you. Not too subtle of an argument though, I agree.

my conclusion is literally going to be "ignore my paper and all the time I spent writing it. it is useless and pointless."

It was an econometric course. It was more about the process of learning how to use SAS and some more advanced linear regression concepts than trying to make any profound economic arguments... although I kind of did want to study something novel, but I couldn't get the information from Elias Sports Bureau to do the hockey analysis I wanted to do.

I'd advise against that. You ought to be able to say something worthwhile even if it's meta

the crazy thing is tho, science, and basically the advancement of knowledge in general, would be enhanced if a great number of authors took this view

Orly? I've been advised to look into econometrics. Apparently this paper might fall partly into such a field of study. You should tell me what is relevant info to include, and how to make the proper tables for interpreting such data.

We have been advised to specify any limitations of our research. Half of mine is that I don't know wtf I'm doing, the other half is that, of what I do know, it's all pointless anyway.

We covered the phenomena of papers that don't really prove anything never leaving the filing cabinet or whatever.

imo just assume it is. If you haven't taken courses to verify one way or another as a prerequisite or covered it in the course you're in they can't possibly hold it against you.
