Final theses

Theses in this field can deal with either statistical and econometric methods or empirical evaluations. Both literature reviews and independent empirical analyses of economic issues are possible. Candidates can propose their own topics within the above framework and thus write a thesis tailored to their interests.

The following is a list of the content and formal requirements for theses. Many of these requirements are not specific to the department, but apply to all academic work. Specific requirements for empirical theses are identified as such.
