- Measuring the local effects of amnesty
- Other topics involving the analysis of crime level/ happiness/ public spendings, etc.
- estimation of demand elasticity
- influence of institutions on country performance

(2) Labor economics
- Measuring and explaining the extent of occupation gender segregation
- discrimination in the labor market (gender/racial)
- regional differences in employment structure (are there typically "female" regions? are there typically "uneducated" regions?)
- influence of labor market institutions (e.g. minimum wage settings, employment protection legislation) on unemployment
- etc.
(3) Economics of education
- analyzing cross-country differences in educational attainment
- etc.
(4) Family economics
- Estimation of the optimal length of maternity leave
