Intriguing topics for Economics presentation

[Hood]

Economics is definitely not my thing. Unfortunately, I have to give an intriguing presentation that would raise interest. I wonder If you could give me some topics and something to start from. It would be great for the topics to be interesting so that it wouldn't be boring to watch and hopefully make it easier to work on for myself. Thanks!

These may be too complex issues, but which of course have an extreme importance in any economy. Unfortunately many economists today are short-term economists, too focused on their flawed pseudo-scientific mathematical models of economics trying to predict what will happen in the next few years. So my suggestions won't probably involve much mathematics if that's what you're interested in:

- What are the significant factors that make an economy grow in the long-term?
- What problems does an economy in a deindustrialization process face?
- What are the consequences of the financial sector, which generates huge amounts of private debt, gaining a ever bigger share on the total output of mature economies?
- In what cases does protectionism work, and in what cases it doesn't?

I think your choice of topic would mostly depend on your course requirements, expected amounts of efforts involved, etc. In order to give an informal yet still inspiring intriguing Economics presentation, I'd suggest starting with SEVERAL topics that are directly related to the community (school, club, etc.) that you're part of, and pick the one that best fits your purposes. There should be thousands of possible topics for your presentation if you care to connect your economic command with community issues. Examples include the social benefits and opportunity costs of the newly-built student center, the marginal and total effects of rising prices on the profitability of the canteen, and so on. I am sure you will impress your audiences and raise their interest if you incorporate into your presentation your own economic models (just simple ones) with real data and use them to explain your research findings. STATA is an awesome tool in this regard. Good luck! :)

I understand that economics may not be everyone's area of expertise. However, it is a crucial field that impacts our daily lives and the world at large. In order to make your presentation more intriguing and engaging, I would suggest focusing on a topic that is relevant and relatable to your audience.

One idea could be to discuss the economic impact of a current event or trend, such as the rise of online shopping and its effects on traditional brick and mortar stores. This topic would be interesting to both consumers and businesses, as well as highlighting the ever-evolving nature of the economy.

Another option could be to explore the concept of behavioral economics and how our irrational behaviors and decision-making processes can impact the economy. This topic has gained a lot of attention in recent years and can be applied to various real-world scenarios, making it both engaging and thought-provoking.

You could also consider discussing the economics of sustainability and how businesses are adapting to meet the growing demand for environmentally friendly products and practices. This topic not only addresses a pressing global issue but also showcases the intersection of economics and social responsibility.

In addition to these suggestions, it may also be helpful to incorporate visual aids, real-life examples, and interactive elements into your presentation to keep your audience engaged. I hope these ideas help you get started on your intriguing economics presentation. Good luck!
