Correcto

• 在撰写学术论文时，研究者需要清晰地阐述研究假设的理论依据，并说明所选用的研究方法如何能够对假设进行有效的检验与证伪。(When writing academic papers, researchers need to clearly articulate the theoretical basis for their research hypothesis and explain how the chosen research methods can effectively test and falsify the hypothesis.)
• 假设这个经济模型的核心参数未来十年保持稳定，政策建议就较可信；一旦环境剧变，结论都要重估。(If we assume this economic model's core parameters stay stable over the next ten years, the policy advice will be fairly reliable; once the environment changes sharply, all conclusions must be reassessed.)

Incorrecto

• 假设 vs 假定 — 假设 implies a testable hypothesis or speculative scenario; 假定 treats the premise as given for the sake of argument without needing verification. In scientific writing, use 假设 for your testable claim; use 假定 for background premises you take as granted
