Nick Tsivanidis, PhD ’18, talks about the culture of interdisciplinary study he found at Booth.
Video Transcript
Nick Tsivanidis, ’18: 00:03 My PhD thesis was about how commute costs shape economic organization in cities. Billions of people over the next 50, 100 years, they're going to be moving into mostly developing cities. Governments are going to spend huge amounts of money on providing new infrastructure to try and accommodate them. My project had both macro and applied micro elements. One of the benefits of Booth is that you have access to people from a wide range of areas who are very happy to encourage you to work on interdisciplinary topics.
Nick Tsivanidis, ’18: 00:38 I've always been interested in development and in particular how cities and countries can use evidence-based policy to try and improve welfare of their citizens. I've decided that pursuing a PhD would allow me to research and help translate that research into policy. What attracted me to the PhD program here at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business was this culture of interdisciplinary study. People at Chicago certainly aren't scared or will shy away from trying to think at the intersection of different areas. This is where a lot of very fruitful and productive new research actually takes place, which is at the border of frontiers. That really attracted me to come here.
From the effects of government regulation on economies to the impact of urban transit infrastructures, our PhD students examine a wide range of economic issues. When they graduate, they go on to positions at some of the top universities and companies in the world.

Writing a thesis is not an easy task. For most of the students, it can be even intimidating, especially when you do not know where to start your research.
Here, we have provided an economics thesis topics list. After all, everyone knows that choosing the right idea is crucial when writing an academic paper. In economics, it can combine history, math, social studies, politics, and numerous other subjects. You should also have solid foundations and a sound factual basis for a thesis. Without these elements, you won’t be able to master your research paper.
The issue is:
It is not always clear what could be seen as an excellent economics thesis topic. Our experts can assist you with this challenge. This list contains some outstanding examples to get you started.
📈 macroeconomics.
A good thesis in economics is a blend between an empirical paper and a theoretical one. One of the essential steps in choosing a topic in economics is to decide which one you will write.
You may write, research, analyze statistical data and other information. Or build and study a specific economic model.
Or why not both!
Here are some questions you can ask when deciding what topic to choose:
The best way to understand what type of research you have to do is to write a thesis proposal. You will most probably be required to submit it anyway. Your thesis supervisor will examine your ideas, methods, list of secondary and primary sources. At some universities, the proposal will be graded.
After you get the initial feedback, you will have a clear idea of what to adjust before writing your thesis. Only then, you’ll be able to start.
At the U.S. Universities, an undergraduate thesis is very uncommon. However, it depends on the Department Policy.
The biggest challenge with the Bachelor’s Thesis in economics concerns its originality. Even though you are not required to conduct entirely unique research, you have to lack redundant ideas.
You can easily avoid making this mistake by simply choosing one of these topics. Also, consider visiting IvyPanda essays database. It’s a perfect palce to conduct a brainstorming session and come up with fresh ideas for a paper, as well as get tons of inspiration.
Student life can be fascinating, but it comes with its challenges. One of which is selecting your Master’s thesis topic.
Here is a list of topics for a Master’s thesis in economics. Are you pursuing MPhil in Economics and writing a thesis? Use the following ideas as an inspiration for that. They can also be helpful if you are working on a Master’s thesis in financial economics.
For some students, it makes more sense to center their search around a certain subject. Sometimes you have an econ area that interests you. You may have an idea about what you want to write, but you did not decide what it will be.
If that’s the case with you, then these economics thesis topics ideas are for you.
If you decide to go to grad school to do your Masters, you will likely end up getting a Ph.D. as well. So, with this plan in mind, think about a field that interests you enough during your Masters. Working with the same topic for both graduate degrees is easier and more effective.
This list of Ph.D. Topics in Economics can help you identify the areas you can work on.
As your academic journey is coming to an end, it’s time to pick the right topic for your thesis. The whole academic life you were preparing to undertake this challenge.
Here is the list of six points that will help you to select an economics thesis topic:

The dilemma I faced in getting Thesis proposal for my M Phil programme is taken away. Your article would be a useful guide to many more students.Thank you for your guidance.
Thanks for the feedback, John! Your opinion is very important for us!
I wants it for msc thesis
These are very helpful and concise research topics which I have spent days surfing the internet to get all this while. Thanks for making research life experience easier for me. Keep this good work up.
Thank you, Idris!
Glad to hear that! Thank you for your feedback, Idris!
Excellent research
For research
A very well written, clear and easy-to-read article. It was highly helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for your kind words! We look forward to seeing you again!

Economics is about making choices in the face of scarcity and uncertainty and ensuring that resource allocation is effectively and efficiently done. What was popularised by writers, researchers and philosophers such as Adam Smith in the 1770s, has become a field with significant relevance and importance in today’s society that is highly financialised and globalised. Dating back to medieval scholastics as well as literature published back in the 15th and 18th century, through the 19th century, the concerns of economics have largely focused on aspects such as choices of individuals, borrowing, money, consumption and production, occupations and employment, markets, trade, pricing of assets, taxes, and most recently human behaviour in relation to economic decisions.
There are multitudes of research studies, within the existing literature, that have been conducted in relation to the above concerns and many of these have resulted in a number of models that attempt to provide possible explanations to real world problems. As the world continues to evolve with the advent of technological advancements that have increased the pace of transformation and globalisation, new areas in economics have emerged as worthwhile research targets. The following are possible economics dissertation topics to choose from for your academic research project in economics:
Economic sociology dissertation topics, institutional economics dissertation topics, microeconomics dissertation topics, macroeconomics dissertation topics, regional development dissertation topics.
This is the area in economics academic literature that is concerned with the role of geographic location and place with the economical outcomes. It focuses on describing and analyzing patterns and trends in human behavior and activity to gain understanding of the processes and drivers that shape and affect the economic and cultural landscapes. Within regions and localities, there are great dynamics that shape the nature and extent of economic activity. Below are some suggestions for economics dissertation topics on economic geography:
Economic sociology refers to sociological aspects influencing the economic indicators and their relationship with social outcomes. It is the study of how the material conditions of life are produced and reproduced through social processes and broadly covers the sociology of markets and the sociology of consumptions. Possible economics dissertation topics in this area include:
Institutional Economics relates to a variety of economics traditions that are concerned with social institutions which are linked to consumption, distribution and production of goods and services as well as the underlying corresponding social relations. In essence, Institutional Economics has a relatively broad inquiry scope and is considered to have relatively close ties with other disciplines such as anthropology, economic sociology, psychology, economic history, behavioural economics, behavioural finance, physical science, management and business studies, and nowadays neuro, cognitive and brain science. This implies that there are various dissertation topics that can fall under the Institutional Economics bracket; some of these include the following.
Microeconomics has to do with supply and demand, and with the way they interact in various markets. It is andconcerned with how economic agents, that is, individual decision-makers (both consumers and producers) behave in different economic settings. The overarching goal of microeconomic research is to identify the incentives of various agents and trade-offs that they may face. To understand behaviour of individuals in terms of their economic decision-making, researchers build various models, use data and conduct experiments.
The following are the examples of dissertation topics on ‘Microeconomics’:
Macroeconomics is concerned with how the overall economy works and how all markets interact to generate big phenomena that economists call aggregate variables. It studies such things as employment, gross domestic product, inflation, national income, employment and the interaction between the global economy and financial markets.
The following are the examples of dissertation topics on ‘Macroeconomics’:
This discipline is focused on understanding the dynamics of regions as smaller economies with their own circumstances and outcomes. The focus is on the internal working of the regional economies as well as on their interaction with other regions. There is a component of economic growth and development at a regional level. The suggestions below will give you further ideas for your economics dissertation topics:
Employment is considered to be a key concept in economics and its significance is reflected in the perception that people at work are seen as individuals/groups of individuals involved in the production of services and goods. Such production requires human capital and time; thus, organisations of different types pay people that are involved in the production process providing them with income that is later used to boost economic activity. In macroeconomics, low rates of national employment may signal underdevelopment or long-lasting depression while high rates of national employment may signal economic growth and development. Below is a list of dissertation topics that cover the area of employment economics.
Financial economics concentrates on exchanges in which money of one type or another is likely to appear on both sides of a trade. Financial markets are crucial in facilitating these exchanges at a relatively reduced transaction cost. In many such cases, the amount of money to be transferred in the future is uncertain. Financial economists thus deal with both time and uncertainty. Often the latter is called risk. Financial economics is thus a branch of economics that examines the utilisation and distribution of economic resources in financial markets in which decisions must be made under uncertainty.
The following are examples of dissertation topics on ‘Financial Economics’:

CTO Realty Growth ( NYSE: CTO ) trades at a discount to peers because of near-term debt coming due as early as 2026, which, I believe, has made other investors avoid the company. In my view, this has created a buying opportunity for investors as the Series A preferred offering in April shows that the company has a low cost of capital and, with interest rates dropping, should be able to refinance at similar rates to existing debt instruments. With a decent quality portfolio of assets in strong markets, I'm issuing a 'buy' rating on the REIT, with investors being more than compensated for the risks today.
CTO Realty Growth is a shopping center real estate investment trust (REIT) that focuses on high quality retail properties . While most of the portfolio is retail, the company also has some office and industrial exposure, which provides some diversification to the REIT. What makes the company unique is that it is generally focused around growth markets in the Southeast and Southwestern United States. This includes markets like Atlanta, Dallas, Richmond, Jacksonville, and Raleigh, five cities where CTO Realty has 75% of their properties.
Geographic Presence (Annual Report)
These are markets characterized by strong economic fundamentals, above-average population growth, and higher income neighborhoods, compared to the rest of the United States. Most of the investments are income producing properties that have longer-term leases. Aside from the company's multi-tenant properties, nearly all of the single-tenant leases are typically in the form of triple or double net leases and ground leases. These lease structures generally require CTO Realty Growth's tenants to pay many of the associated expenses of the property (beyond just the rent for use and occupancy) which includes things like real estate taxes, insurance, assessments and other governmental fees, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and capital expenditures.
Investor Presentation
In addition to its own portfolio of properties, the company also owns a 16% interest in Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. ( PINE ), a publicly traded net lease REIT. This investment is worth approximately $37 million at current prices. In addition to dividends it receives from the shares that it owns, CTO Realty Growth also receives management fees for managing Alpine.
CTO Realty Growth reported its Q2'24 results on July 25 and results came in better than expected. During the quarter, total revenue came in at $28.8 million ($25.9 million from income properties), which was 10.7% higher compared to last year. Compared to analyst estimates , this came in $1.4 million above consensus estimates for a 5% beat.
Revenue (Company Filings)
Most of this growth came from purchases of new investment properties. So far in 2024, the REIT has acquired the Marketplace at Seminole Towne Center in Sanford, Florida ($68.8 million), a vacant 4k square foot parcel of land in Richmond, Virginia ($2.3 million), a property in Lake Worth, Florida ($10.0 million), and the Plaza at Rockwall, a multi-tenant income property located in Rockwall, Texas ($61.2 million), among others. Outside of new investment properties, same property NOI for the quarter increased 2% and 4% for the six-month period ending.
With a busy first half to start the year, CTO Realty Growth really puts the 'growth' in its name as it continues to acquire new properties which they can then lease to a tenant. An important characteristic of REITs is occupancy, which measures how effectively a REIT is utilizing its properties. Coming out of Q2'24, the REIT had physical occupancy of 92.6%, an increase of 230bps from year-end 2023 and leased occupancy of 94.6%. The 200 basis point spreads between physical and leased occupancy represents almost $5 million of future cash rents in nearly 6% of CTO Realty Growth's current in-place cash base rents.
Given the high and improving occupancy rates, CTO Realty Growth seems to be on the right track and the higher leased occupancy compared to physical occupancy should be accretive to FFO and earnings through 2025.
In terms of FFO, core funds from operations increased 7.8% to $10.4 million this quarter, slightly better than top line growth. This was a result of a slight improvement in NOI margin, and this showed up in FFO growth per share, growing from $0.43 in Q2'23 to $0.45 this quarter. However, when we consider that a $450k non-cash write-off of straight-line rents impacted FFO growth during the quarter, it's then perhaps not unsurprising to see that AFFO per share didn't improve much, remaining steady at $0.48. With dividends paid of $0.38 in May, the payout ratio is roughly 79% on AFFO.
FFO (Company Filings)
My general takeaway is that this was another good quarter for CTO Realty Growth. Such a conclusion is backed up by the fact that, given the results of this quarter, management has now increased the midpoint of their FFO per share guidance for the full year. Now, management is guiding for FFO per share in the range of $1.81 to $1.86.
I'm also bullish on the fact that the returns CTO Realty Growth is able to generate are well in excess of its current cost of capital. When we look at the balance sheet, the REIT ended the quarter with long-term debt of $484 million, against a cash position of just $5 million. This brought net leverage to 7.5x. And while that may seem high on an absolute basis, investors should consider the other factors that limit balance sheet risk.
For one thing, CTO Realty Growth had available liquidity of $155 million, so while the cash position may be small (and likely will continue to be given limited working capital needs), the company can access cash quickly through its revolver and other means. Secondly, as shown below, most of the maturities are laddered, but there are some near-term maturities coming due in 2026. The largest of the line items in long-term debt is the credit facility at $150 million, which has a maturity of 2027 and can likely be refinanced at an attractive rate. Lastly, with a weighted average cost of debt of 4.23%, CTO Realty Growth has a very low borrowing cost which enhances its financial stability and flexibility. This low cost of debt provides the REIT with an advantageous position for financing future growth or potential acquisitions of new properties, while also maintaining manageable interest expenses.
Long-term Debt (Company Filings)
As a further point to the company's low cost of capital, in April, the company issued 1.7 million shares of Series A preferred stock for net proceeds of $33.1 million. These preferreds yield less than 7%, which is notably lower than the prevailing market rates for similar instruments. This issuance further illustrates the market's confidence in CTO Realty Growth and its ability to secure favorable financing terms, as well as preferred and debt investors' confidence in the security and safety of the assets and the reasonable likelihood that they will be paid back.
CTO Realty Growth is one of the cheaper names in the retail REIT landscape. I think that this may be the result of an above-average leverage position and the fact that the company has debt maturing as early as 2026, which may have spooked some investors away from the company. But, if you're a believer like I am that interest rates are likely to continue to drop, this might not be so much of a risk going forward.
Already, mortgage rates are at the lowest levels they've been at since May 2023 and this is a trend that's expected to continue. Moreover, this effect could have a multiplier effect whereby not only does the cost of financing go down, but implied cap rates could also further shrink, thereby increasing the value of real estate assets. And given the fact that the Series A preferred shares were issued at the sub-7% level, it's a fairly safe bet in my view that the cost of debt will be well below this figure, given that debt sits above preferred in the capital structure. With this in mind, refinancing shouldn't be an issue for the company.
Even if one believes this to be a larger risk than what I'm suggesting, I think this risk is already being more than reflected in the current valuation of CTO Realty Growth. Why? For one thing, analysts seem to have a fairly muted view on growth going forward, with an average price target of just $20.71 , implying about 7.6% upside from today's price.
Seeking Alpha
In addition, the company's forward valuations of 10.5x P/FFO and 10.1x P/AFFO are well below the peer group. Compared to the group average, which includes names like SITE Centers ( SITC ), Federal Realty ( FRT ), InvenTrust Properties ( IVT ), Acadia Realty ( AKR ), and Urban Edge Properties ( UE ), trades for 14.5x P/FFO and 15.8x P/AFFO. Given such a wide disconnect in valuations, I'd expect that discount to close over time, as early as next year, when the company may choose to refinance that debt earlier than 2026.
In the meantime, investors are getting paid a 7.9% dividend to wait for that discount to close. With a quarterly dividend of $0.38, well covered by AFFO at a payout ratio below 80%, I think CTO Realty Growth is a great buy for investors looking for an undervalued real estate name that they can look to for a regular income stream.
