Economics MSc Thesis Information

Department of economics - aalto university school of business, thesis topics and research questions.

Research is motivated by questions. Whether you are doing a literature review or producing original research, it is crucial to be clear about what the research question is. (Usually one is the right number of research questions in an MSc thesis). To determine whether a question is interesting, it is worth considering what would be the use of a credible and precise answer if you (or the literature that you review) obtained it? The hypothetical "user(s)" may be firms, governments, other organizations, or consumers.

The thesis must allow you to show learnedness in Economics . ("Opinnäyte" = "Demonstration of learnedness"). It is not meant to show your learnedness in all aspects and all fields of economics. In particular, there is no need to include both theory and empirical sections in every thesis. Original research and original literature reviews are equally meritorious. However, there needs to be some part in every thesis that addresses the main research question while going deeper into the subject from at least one angle in a way that requires MSc-level Economics.

It is valuable to pick a topic that you find interesting, so that working on the thesis feels less like work. However, not all interesting questions in economics make for good MSc thesis topics. It would be wise to discuss the topic with a faculty member before becoming invested in it.

Examples of thesis topics

List of examples of topic areas and specific thesis topics suggested by faculty.

If you are interested in working on a listed topic, contact the faculty member who suggested it. However, students may be reassigned between advisors in order to keep their numbers balanced across advisors, and also due to faculty leaves of absence.

The list contains also topic areas, which are broader than thesis topics and where you could discuss many types of potential research questions suited for various levels of ambition. It would result in a literature review or in original research in some subset of the topic area.

One purpose of the list is to help students formulate their own research questions by showing what is a proper depth and breadth of a thesis topic. If you have a potential topic, you can simply approach a faculty member with an email that includes an informal description (a couple of paragraphs). If you would like to get started on your thesis, but have no idea for a topic, you can simply ask a faculty member for a topic of their choice in some broad area of economic interest. If you don't know which faculty member to turn to, don't worry, the first one will forward you to a more appropriate one if necessary.

Resources for choosing a thesis topic

Enrolling in the 2023-24 seminars.

To enroll in the thesis seminar a student must have a topic accepted by a faculty member at the Department of Economics. The deadline for the Fall 2023 seminar is May 31st and November 15th for the Spring 2024 seminar. Adjusting the topic to be suitable for approval may require some back-and-forth between the student and the faculty, so students should make sure to begin the process several weeks before the deadline. The student must then notify Kristiina Huttunen (for participation in the Fall seminar) or Marko Terviö (Spring seminar) by email about the topic in the form of a provisional title for the thesis with the faculty member who approved it in cc. After that the student can enroll in the seminar just like in any other course (code 31E99905). The initial approved topic is not set in stone: it can be changed subject to the same approval procedure as the initial topic.

The purpose of the MSc thesis seminar is to learn to present, critique, and comment economic research. When the seminar begins the participants must therefore have already made some progress on their thesis, and need to be ready in the second week of the seminar to give their first presentation (in which the research question is introduced in the context of a broader topic). In the second seminar period students give their main presentation, accompanied by the main paper. These focus on communicating the results of economics research, either your own or the research that your review. The main paper is max 30 pages and the presentation 20-25 minutes. For more information, see the seminar page at MyCourses. The seminar is not meant to substitute for thesis supervision, for which purpose each thesis writer has an individual faculty advisor.

Further information

The seminar is organized by Kristiina Huttunen in Fall 2023 and Marko Terviö in Spring 2024. See the seminar page at MyCourses (search for "31E99905") for current information on seminar work. The official course descriptions for the new academic year won't be published in Oodi until August.

The working language of the seminar is English. The main paper can be written in either Finnish or English, but presentations and discussions in the seminar will be in English.

Where to look for a thesis position?

1. Research group

You can write your thesis and conduct the research in one of the research groups at the university. The Functional Materials major has its own My Courses page that lists open positions. So do some other programs. Students can pick one of the topics and contact the professor. These are usually unpaid unless there is suitable funding in the research group. However, you can apply for funding. If you study at Aalto CHEM, you could send an application to, for example, TES or Fortum and Neste Foundation . You can also suggest your own idea to the professor. If you already work in a research group, it is much easier to just continue working there, but for joining a research group you might have to send an official e-mail with a request and attach your CV. In some programs like Design, this option is not popular.

2. Aalto Thesis

Aalto Thesis lists projects open for applications. The topics of the theses are proposed by companies and usually, the given challenge is solved in a team of 2-4 students from different backgrounds. This year, Valmet, a company working in the pulp, paper, and energy industries field, offered two topics. One of the projects is still looking for applicants!

Many companies in Finland and abroad offer paid thesis positions. However, you have to keep in mind the intellectual property rights as you might not be allowed to publish all results from your experiments. This can complicate your graduation and the final grade of your work might be lower than it would be in other cases. You can also combine such a thesis position with work at the university in one of the research groups. It is also possible to conduct summer research in some companies and submit the thesis after 3 months only. One big advantage is that there is a possibility that you would be offered by the company a permanent job after graduation. To find a thesis position in a company in Finland, you can take a look at Aalto Job Teaser.

4. Another university

It is possible to contact a research group from another university. Aalto offers some financial support for students to cover transportation costs and some of the living expenses. The scholarship amounts usually to 1 500 Euros. You can also do your thesis within the Erasmus+ exchange or internship program.

Good luck with your thesis!

T1 - Applications of Interferometric Measurements and Photoacoustic Detection in Optical Metrology

AU - Sharma, Sucheta

N2 - Measurement loops and detectors are irreplaceable constituents of an experimental process in optical metrology. Interferometry and photoacoustic methods can be applied as key techniques for developing such measurement and detection systems. In this thesis, two interferometric measurement arrangements are presented. The phase modulation process in interferometry is important for the measurement speed. Mechanical phase modulation, in such cases, suffers from limitations with regard to driving voltage amplitude, increased modulation frequency and system noise. In this work, the potential of electro-optic phase modulation has been assessed for developing a multi-wavelength interferometric sensor to replace the mechanical phase modulation system. The results not only show the suitability of the electro-optic sensor to improve the measurement speed of the multi-wavelength interferometer, but the sensor is also able to operate at considerably low driving voltage. Another interferometric method driven by an optical system consisting of a mirror array has been presented in this thesis to measure the surface parallelism of step gauge faces. Contact methods are commonly used for this purpose. However, the research gap lies in the available options for non-contact methods to carry out such measurements. The alignment sensitivity is a major factor that controls the accuracy of the measurement with the presented array of mirrors which are arranged as a periscope and a triangular prism reflector-type configuration. Hence, in this work, methods to monitor the alignment sensitivity and estimate corresponding corrections have been presented. The theoretical and experimental studies on the performance of the custom-built optical system show that the system has the potential to serve as a suitable tool for non-contact surface parallelism measurement of step gauge faces. For the development of detection instruments, a silicon cantilever-based photoacoustic radiation detector is presented in this work. Photoacoustic detectors are widely employed for power meter applications, however, in most available cases, the pressure sensors have limitations on the highest detectable radiation power. The photoacoustic detector presented in this work, has shown radiation detection capability with a linear dynamic range of nearly six orders of magnitude and highest detectable power in the milliwatt level which can be further extended with suitable adjustments of the detection parameters. The spectral coverage of the system was initially tested from ultraviolet to infrared region, and in the latest work the radiation sensitivity has been successfully demonstrated in the terahertz range with proper absorber materials. A numerical model for designing the cantilever pressure sensor has also been developed to improve the detection sensitivity. It is concluded that the cantilever-based photoacoustic detector can be a good solution for power measurement applications which require a broad spectral coverage and large dynamic range with robust pressure sensing element offering high damage threshold.

Title of the thesis: Switchable hydrogel networks based on natural polysaccharides Doctoral student: Amanda Eklund Opponent: Prof. Marleen Kamperman, University of Groningen, The Netherlands Custos: Prof. Olli Ikkala, Aalto University School of Science, Deparment of Applied Physics

Responsive hydrogels, composed of polymer networks in water, are gaining interest in different applications due to their flexible chemistries, biocompatibility, and softness. This allows utilisation in fields such as biomedicine, and electronics. By modifying the microstructure of the hydrogel, different material properties can be introduced and optimised. 

In this thesis, a natural polysaccharide, agarose, is used to modify the hydrogel network of a thermoresponsive polymer, N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAm) to enhance its properties. Using two different network architectures, the optical and adhesive properties of the hydrogels are controlled using temperature change as a stimulus. A technique is presented, where agarose is utilised as a primary network that is removed after PNIPAm polymerisation to form channels into the hydrogel. These channels enhance water transportation and enable the hydrogel to undergo phase transitions more quickly compared to traditional PNIPAm. Additionally, the material has a bright white appearance, enabling use in applications such as controllable screens and optical switches. To further improve the white appearance of the hydrogels, chemically modified agarose is utilised as a macro-crosslinker in the PNIPAm network, producing a hydrogel that shows superior whiteness at a smaller thickness of the reflecting layer compared to the channeled PNIPAm. 

The improved water transportation properties of the channeled hydrogel are also used to realise controllable underwater adhesion. Additionally, the hydrogel includes biomimetic catechol groups to enhance adhesive properties. The combination of the improved adhesion and controllable water transportation allows the adhesion to be switched on and off using a change in temperature with a high switching efficiency, both underwater and in dry conditions. This hydrogel system can be used as a controllable gripper for fragile, lightweight, irregular biological systems, showing the potential of the channeling approach in fields utilising controllable underwater adhesion such as biomedicine and soft robotics.

Keywords: Hydrogel, thermoresponsive, polymer, network, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), agarose, adhesion, whiteness

When writing a thesis, other students' works may be helpful. Full text materials produced by the schools of Aalto University are available in the Aaltodoc publication archive.

Bibliography

• includes complete information about the sources used in the text
• includes all the sources which are cited in your work
• is situated usually at the end of the publication
• is an essential part of scientific publishing
• helps the reader to trace the information sources
• helps the reader to get an overview about the information sources of the research 

There are many systems to make a bibliography. At Aalto University the practice varies between different disciplines, so it is recommended to ask the supervisor for advice when writing for example a master's thesis. Two commonly used reference systems are presented here: the Harvard system and the Vancouver system.

The information mentioned in the examples always has to be in the references when available. If a part of information is missing the field will be omitted, except that the number or the volume of a journal will be marked as (-).

In electronic references there has to be mentioned the place (computer) where the document can be found, the directory path, document's name and how it can be downloaded (the protocol for that). In addition to the information concerning the availability there has to be the date of citation, the update date and the publication type (e.g. online).

The bibliographic references as well as the in-text citations can be made for example with the help of the EndNote bibliographic manager. It makes them automatically according to the chosen system.
