You can bring your own research topics - this is a list of topics that are also interesting if you would like to work on them or pass by to discuss them:

Currently available topics:


• Measuring the Dutch Disease/Can Remmittances cause Dutch Disease
• Are Remmittances a Foreign Exchange Blessing or Curse?
• Determinants of changes in number of Sharia Compliant Stocks
• Meta-Study on defining which countries belong to the MENA region (and what this tells us about the authors/international sphere's of influence).
• Does Economic Growth really matter? (Is the consistent motivation to always grow the economy really a good idea?)
• Topics as part of a larger project: Revisiting the Quantity Theory of Money in the Context of the MENA Region (This project allows up to 3 Master Theses to be written on the following issues):
     - Disentangling real and financial GDP in MENA countries
     - Measuring the money supply in MENA countries (alternative definitions of money supply)
     - Measuring the Velocity of Money in MENA countries
It is possible to coordinate this topic, i.e., if you know of one or two more persons who might be interested in writing their Master Thesis on this issue, you can all approach me together.


Currently unavailable/reserved topics:
• Can artificial Currency Fixing be identified on countrys' balance of payments? How Currency Fixing affect trade?
• Foreign Direct Investment - Which Sectors are most affected by Wars and Sanctions? Do Wars always lead to a drop of FDI in all sectors?
