Undergrad Economics Dissertation ideas with no maths/econometrics?

Hello all,

I’m a final year Economics and History undergrad and I’m currently trying to finalise my 6,000-word dissertation topic. My dissertation is due in Mid-May so I have a reasonable amount of time.

I’d really like to write an economics dissertation that doesn’t involve econometrics, heavy statistics, or formal modelling. Maths isn’t one of my strengths, I took some stats/econometrics in first year but didn’t continue with it, and I’m honestly not very comfortable building regression models, running ARDLs, or anything econometric.

I’ve spoken to my supervisor and he suggested looking into Institutional economics or perhaps historical institutional analysis as it plays more with my strengths (with my joint history degree)

I initially explored the impact of terrorism on tourism (e.g. tourism demand, British outbound tourists, etc.) and did quite a bit of reading. The problem is that most of the literature is heavily econometric and model-based, which doesn’t really suit me. So now I’m feeling a bit stuck.

I’m looking for ideas that are clearly economics, that are theory-drive and have a historical and or/institutional approach with a good amount of literature, ideally in tourism as I have some research in this.

Thanks in advance!
