Dissertation topic

Hey monkeys,
 

I'm approaching my dissertation - an 80-page paper that concludes my Master of Finance programme. I work in IB and my interests/curriculum lies within the domain of corporate finance, valuation, modelling, investing, etc. I'm struggling to come up with a relevant and proprietary topic to address and would really appreciate it if anyone here had some juicy ideas or input to the longlist of areas below:

• The market implications of retail investing (context: Surge of new retail investors during covid)

• Value investing

• ESG valuation 

• Something related to rising inflation?

• Corporate strategy and synergy/congl. valuation (context: GE split)

• MRP

• Startup valuation

• Monte Carlo simulation and valuation

Cheers,
