What are current research topics in finance and economics? I am looking for a good topic for my master’s dissertation and PhD proposal.
I agree with Vince Jacobs, group think is a fascinating area ripe for further work. The psychology of investment and economic management is ripe for further work. Generally I'd consider looking into the growth of the use of artificial intelligence and bots in economic/financial modeling (and real market applications). Shouldn't be hard to tie that into investment. Other areas to consider include climate change and the most efficient methods to shape an investment response; and dealing with other externalities in econometric terms. Economic management is on a cusp here and investment will be affected.Also consider efficient, effective taxation in the mobile internet era; and econometrics and futurism. What happens when we move our banking and financial services from smartphones to augmented tech to fully human-embedded. We will go cashless, yes, but it's more than just that. It'll be marked by a series of behavioural and social impacts as well as private/public investment shifts. It's endless.

What are some good career backup plans if a student is not able to complete the CA course?
This question might hurt anyone (even you) who is doing Chartered Accountancy. Frankly speaking their is no any other profession who compete with CA in commerce field. But not everyone is interested (including me).Few months back, I had the same question, I did not found anything except some so called “graduation degrees”, but I didn't want to continue with Accountancy or taxation related. But I had no any other option because I have commerce in 12th.I can't opt B.Sc, I can't opt Computer Science, I can't opt BCA (because I choose economics instead of maths in 12th). I was like I did a biggest mistake to choose commerce. But..Last but not the least, I have some prior knowledge about Computer programming, so, I decided to start with programming. I asked my mum that I don't wanna continue with CA because I lose my all interest but she denied.So, I sit for IPCC examination and thank fully I cleared my both groups, then/now articleship. I am doing articleship in front of my mum and family but I am running my own software development company and I am pretty much happy with that!Well, do what, what you want! Not for backup plans. Here are some more suggestions alternatives for CA.
