Topics for Master Theses

The Macro, Risk and Sustainability Centre is always interested in working with Master students on their theses. You are welcome to discuss your ideas with us

. Our main expertise is in the following areas:

  • We consider long run problems of economic growth, fiscal and monetary policies, social security, and inequality. In this line of research, we build macroeconomic models closely connected to the micro-data of households and firms.

  • We examine various short-run issues, such as theoretical studies of monetary policy in a new Keynesian framework, econometric studies of financial market behaviour and business cycles, and modelling and testing private agents' expectations.

  • We investigate very long run developments in quantitative economic history, particularly international business cycles and financial markets.

  • We undertake empirical research at the intersections of labour economics and macroeconomics with a focus on wage mobility, inequality, family policies and gender differences.

  • We advance computational and empirical methods in quantitative economics.
