Current topics for theses
We encourage our students to conduct their own small (online) experiments or data collections on "natural experiments". The most suitable topics are behavioral economics, experimental economics and environmental economics. Please feel free to contact us with your own ideas or get ideas from Prof. Dr. Fabian Paetzel (fabian.paetzel@tu-clausthal.de).
In addition, Dr. Eduard Braun (eduard.braun@tu-clausthal.de) offers papers on theoretical economics and the history of economics.
Please also feel free to have a look at the research foci of the department to get inspiration for possible current topics.
