英國留學生金融學畢業dissertation：The impact of Financial Crisis on Sino-British Service Trade 

 

2. Introduction

As everyone knows, the Financial Crisis has great influence on a larger range of economy fields, and almost every country could not escape from it. Based on existing researches, service trade is one of areas which are suffering the impact. My dissertation tries to explore its influence on China- Britain Service Trade, and also want to give some recommendations to the future trades. Due to UK and China have a long history of trade and UK is famous for its service business, but Service business in China is not full developed just at the beginning. So, to some extent, there is a strong complementary between China and UK economy and the service trade could be used for improve both their economy. The service trade between UK and China also become more important than before, both countries are seeking cooperation chances in this area.  In terms of these it is a great topic for the dissertation and also arouse my interest, and it also could link the country which in stay now and the country which I came from.大家都知道，金融危機有很大的影響更大范圍的經濟領域，幾乎每個國家都無法逃脫它。現有的研究基礎上，服務貿易受到一定的沖擊的地區之一。我的博士dissertation，試圖探索中國 - 英國服務貿易，它的影響力，也希望給一些建議，未來行業。由于英國和中國的貿易和英國有悠久的歷史，是著名的服務業務，但服務在中國的業務剛剛開始發展，是不完整的。所以，在一定程度上有很強的互補性，可用于在中國和英國的經濟和服務貿易之間，同時提高他們的經濟。英國和中國之間的服務貿易前，兩國都在這方面尋求合作機會，變得越來越重要。在這些方面它是一個偉大的博士dissertation的主題，也引起了我的興趣，而且還可以鏈接的國家，現在在住宿和我來自的國家。

5. Research methods

I intend to use the quantitative research and empirical study to obtain and analyse data, and then wants to use the statistical analysis to analyse the data which is relevant to the topic. Some tables and graphs will be made based on the current data and then draw some mathematic conclusion which is needed, such as service trade between UK and China was much higher than before. The empirical study will be used for explain the evidence which could be regarded as supports to points. The data that will be used meanly from 2008 to now and the data which used for present the situation before the crisis is roughly from 2004 to 2007. This might be change when the dissertation writing starts, because it really depends on the real data which I can find. The data comes from the government research form both Chinese government and British government website. Until now I get data from Office for National Statistics, China-British Council and National Bureau of statistics of China and some other websites. I will try my best to get more data about this topic. Some other examples or cases which are relevant to this topic I will get from newspaper journals and books. These mentioned above may not exhaustive, and will be added through dissertation writing and your guide.

 

6. Potential limitations

1 The insufficient knowledge of using suitable methodology to support knowledge

2 Limit time to read all the previous research of this topic

3 Some data could not easily be found

4 Maybe some presentation and writing style not meet British academic requirements fully

5 The same statistical information from different country might be not same

6 The difficult of data analysis and description.

7 This is a new topic relevant to Financial Crisis might be hard to find literatures.

 

7. Resources

I plan to meanly use the Internet to get data, especially in Chinese and British official websites in order to get collect data, as these data could be difficultly collected by individual and the information in the Internet usually up to date. Then I also intend to use library to find some relevant books and journals. In addition, I also want to use some online dissertation databases and e-book or e-journal databases to find some previous research. Excel and Word are likely to be used to make some tables and charts which will be required by the dissertation. I do not fully understand what SPSS is, but I plan to learn it and try to use it if possible. #p#分頁標題#e#
