Recommendations: Academic Research

Hey everyone,

I'm currently searching for a topic for my bachelor thesis and I am planning to read some academic research to get a sense of what other people in the finance world write about.

Since I am unsure where to start, I'd appreciate recommendations on papers you enjoyed reading/found thought-provoking/saw as important for the future of the industry/...

Thanks!
