Hey! I'm a high school junior interested in business and finance, and I'm looking for other high school or college students who'd want to brainstorm a research idea and potentially develop a paper together.
One possible area is Buy Now, Pay Later companies like Klarna and Affirm and how they relate to consumer spending, debt, and financial decision-making, especially among younger consumers. I also ran a financial literacy camp over the summer covering budgeting, saving, investing, and responsible spending, so I'm interested in whether financial education changes students' everyday money habits.
These are just starting ideas. I haven't finalized a research question or methodology or started a paper. I'm open to other finance, economics, or business topics too. I'd like to find people who enjoy the subject and want to contribute to reading, analysis, and writing together. If we develop solid work, we could explore submitting or publishing it somewhere.
If you're interested, comment or DM me! Let me know what topics you'd want to explore or any research experience you have.
