I am planning on doing a 10 week senior research project during my last summer before I graduate college. Obviously, there are numerous financial/investing topics and I would like to hear what all of you think would make for an interesting research project. I would like to use the following guidelines in choosing the topic: - From the fields of investing, trading, or economics - Would prefer a topic or idea which is pure research and study; not analysis based. - Not too narrow so that further research could someday be compiled or a text could be written. - I have approximately 200 hrs available to devote to research in a ten week period. So I would like to complete a rather large project on whatever topic I choose. Thanks for any ideas ~RT
some interesting papers here: http://ssrn.com/ possible good starting points. I really liked the article on Market Behavior post World Cup Matches. --RS
research something useful that you can use in your chosen field later. if you are interested in something market related i would suggest studying psychology and how it affects the markets.
