Bachelor theses
Topics
I supervise
BA theses in all fields of economics but with a very specific objective: The
thesis is an extended referee report of a recent study (published or recent
working paper) that includes a replication of the main results and a (small)
extension that goes beyond the results in the original study.
Methods
BA theses
typically involve empirical work employing methods of causal inference or
machine learning, applied to a dataset used in a recent study.

demand for supervision. I expect you to have successfully finished at least my
undergraduate course below if you consider writing your thesis with me:

In any
case, please talk to me early (i.e. 1-2 months before the start date) about
capacity and potential topics.
