General Information
The purpose of a thesis is to
demonstrate your ability to apply economic concepts, i.e., using
mathematical models. First, you have to outline the economic problem
and the state of the
literature. From this point, you can proceed in three ways: You discuss
and criticize the
models found in the literature, you modify a given model adequately, or
you create your own
(simple) model so as to address an aspect of the problem that has been
neglected in the
literature. In any case, the usage of economic models is inevitable.
Empirical work that
sustains or refutes the theoretical results is always welcome. Use the
following tools for
online literature research:
>> scholar.google.com
>> jstor.com
>>
EBSCOhost
>> Social
Science Research Network
If you want to write your thesis
on a topic in "Economics of Business and Law", these
topics may come from two areas: Law and Economics on the one hand,
Business Economics on the other hand. Please
note that successful participation in an appropriate seminar or course (either in "Law and
Economics" or in "Business Economics)" is a prerequisite.
