2. Through the professional knowledge of statistics and economics that students have learned, they can explore relevant investment issues of interest in daily life, and through the collection, organization and analysis of data, students can enhance their ability to analyze actual data.
3. Through participation in thematic research groups, students will be strengthened in their teamwork abilities and trained to write in-depth professional research reports.

本課程之研究主題主要是以經濟學相關議題為主。本課程的進行方式由學生自行分組並選擇有興趣之研究主題，透過與專題指導老師討論研究方向與內容後，再由同學分組進行研究資料之蒐集、整理與分析，定期與指導老師進行研究專題之討論，另需於學期末完成專題研究之書面報告與口頭報告。

The research topics of this course are mainly economics-related issues. The way this course is conducted is that students are divided into groups and choose a research topic of interest. After discussing the research direction and content with the topic instructor, students are then divided into groups to collect, organize and analyze research data. They regularly discuss the research topic with the instructor. In addition, they are required to complete a written report and an oral report on the topic research at the end of the semester.
