A list of possible finance research paper topics

Selecting Your Topic

When you are writing a research paper, specifically one related to the field of finance chances are you have been given the freedom to select your topic. Many cases allow students to find a topic about which they are passionate, or at least one which relates to the content of the course. But with this much freedom, some students come under pressure and find that they are unable to hone an appropriate topic, let alone an appropriate thesis. So how can you select your topic?

• It is best to pick something that you have some level of curiosity about. In fact, if you have always been curious about a particular topic but never gone out and studied it, the research paper is the perfect opportunity for that. You can learn about the subject matter in depth.
• If you pick something you don’t care about or is of no interest to you, you won’t be highly motivated to do thorough research… or any research for that matter.
• It is also important to pick a topic that is the perfect size. Think of Goldilocks: you want a topic that is not too big and not too small. With the wealth of resources available today, picking a topic that is too large can be quite a burden, leaving you drowning in a sea of resources and unable to fish your way out.
