Ok bankers and prospects Ill make this short and concise in the interest of saving you time to get back to your spreadsheets. I am a rising senior that would like to successfully complete a senior thesis paper on some finance related topic to bolster my already jam-packed and meticulously furnished resume (and of course to pursue my vast interest in finance ;-)). I was hoping you could perhaps share your thoughts on any topic in the realm of finance that you find intriguing, confusing, unsettling, exciting, essentially something that can be milked during an interview. I'd prefer my initial idea not knock people into a temporary coma and frankly I think industry practitioners' ideas, yes you, you quantitatively inclined, well furnished and fiercely motivated banker, will be able to properly come up with those type of ideas. I will be using these ideas as starting points … that is, unless one of you just completely knocks one out of the park. Thanks!

You could investigate the role that Dodd-Frank will have on the future of finance, say 5, 10, 20 years down the road as different aspects of the bill start to affect the industry (i,e,, placing derivatives on exchanges).
i'd look for under-explored areas like latin american debt markets. Identifying the main debt instruments in each country even sounds a like good idea for a book.
The Canadian banking system vs. the U.S banking system
Interesting senior thesis topic?? (Originally Posted: 09/07/2010)
just found out the good news, have to write a senior thesis (undergrad).
Anyone have any suggestions? Was thinking of the subprime mess but that's kind of played out. A topic in finance would be preferred. Also something that's interesting and will make me WANT to learn more about the subject??
Any help is appreciated. thanks.
The impact on the economy from an increase in the LT cap gains and carried interest rates.

I think writing about the financial crisis will be great and will be an informative read. How about the flash crash of May. I am writing about the effects of wars of choice.
HELP! Senior Thesis, ideas needed (Originally Posted: 03/10/2015)
Going to be graduating in 2016 and have a strong interest in working in investment management. I want to center my honors thesis around investing (perhaps something about capital or debt markets), but I haven't really given much thought past that.
Are there any areas that you guys would like to see explored? Can you give me any suggestions on what I should look into? Looking for some ideas on which I can further develop on.
Thank You
How about looking into which valuation method best predicts future performance (i.e., DCF, Multiples, EVA, etc.)
Honors College Capstone Project Ideas (Originally Posted: 02/03/2014)
I'm in my school's honors college and we need to do a capstone project our senior year. Can be anything related to our major. I'd like to do something trading or real estate related. I also kind of have one foot out the door at this point and am not trying to break ground here. Just looking for something straightforward to do that will fulfill my senior year requirements.
I was thinking maybe something about detecting theoretical arbitrage opportunities in securities using whatever that formula is. I'm open to anything though. Ideas much appreciated.
What's your major?
