Do some networking in the profession to dig around.  Read professional journals, call public and private sector (corporate)economists working in the field about what issues are not adequately resolved, ask your professors and advisors.  You need to peg an emerging area of the field where there are still unanswered questions (i.e. not saturated with publications on the same topic), but with enough published material for you to cite credible sources and enough empirical data cost-effectily available for you to run your supporting econometrics -- it's a balancing act. \n\nIf you are a micro-economic specialist, I would go for the corporate staff economists.  They are always overworked and on tight budgets, so you might be able to find one with a puzzle to solve who will welcome free help in doing so, and not care about claiming academic credit.

I suggest u to follow the following strategy:\n1. Go through the contents of ur subjects studied during ur course of studies. There must be some topics of interest for u. Mark them.\n2. Gradually narrow down the choices, each time thinking more deeply.\n3. When u r left with three to five topics, go on to Internet and search for the latest trends going on in that area.\n4. Do not always think of doing something new (Works already done may also be enhanced).\n5. Keep in mind the requirements and limitations of ur country/ area in ur field.\n6. Ultimately u will be able to "pin point" ur project topic.\n7. As a suggestion from my side go for "Communication devices", TRY.  GOOD LUCK

I would go onto Amazon, there are books you can purchase on how to write an effective market research survey that are really helpful.  I've used a few for classes in the past.  You have to remember that the questions can't be leading.

While requirements vary from university to university, generally, a PhD thesis in the social sciences should be well over 200 pages, which is equivalent to at least 50,000 words, exclusive of notes and other scholarly apparatus.\n\nCurrently, many universities still require submission of one or two copies of the successfully defended dissertation in bound form.  Others require one bound copy, and one electronic copy.  Others require only one electronic copy.   Many also require submission of the dissertation (after successful defense) to UMI (University Microforms), an independent service that places all US doctoral dissertations on microform.  \n\nI know of no PhD program that requires dissertations to be posted on the web.\n\nThe most important thing is to follow precisely the procedure required by YOUR department and YOUR university.

Best re-ask your question in the economy section

a good theses staement needs to have a subject(childc....) and then a specific feeling about the issue. the thesis should appear after explaning the issue, so not necisarily in the first paragraph or even the second. your best bet is to put it in the 3rd paragraph for the inroduction. this stands for a 5 to 10 page research paper.

How can anyone suggest to you a topic to do your PhD?\nMost doctoral candidates chose something they really like or are\ninterested in. If you like English Literature you need to find out what already has been researched or if the topic has been researched maybe you can supply a different angle or explanation. The best is to have a talk with your future instructor (you need to do that because some instructors are either too busy, not nice to work with, not interested in the topic you suggest etc.) so get yourself several topics, find the university and the instructor you think might suit your research and good luck.

Ask yourself these questions:\n\nIs there something I care about enough to spend a couple of years, full time, doing research on it?\n\nCan I find an advisor? i.e. Is there a prof on the faculty, who knows enough about the topic, who I get along with, who is willing to act as my thesis advisor?\n\nThe answers to those questions put some serious parmeters on your project.

Are you more into research? Understanding the relationship between economics and psychology and keep understanding and studying and writing papers on it - then do the PhD (it is much longer than MBA)\n\nIf you want to be on the practical side - you can do MBA - or just start working in business administration: you will really understand people phsycology and how economics affects it.

It really depends on you. The best topic would be any topic that you are really interested in... something that you know about, and something that you think is important and that would be relevant for your audience.
