In their final year of the Economics course, students write a dissertation on a topic of their choice. Here are some of the many questions that Christ's students have explored in their dissertations:
- Does CEO pay structure push them to take more risks?
- Do longer-serving politicians get more 'pork' for their constituents?
- Who do charities like Oxfam give their money to and why?
