I need assistance writing my full master’s thesis based on a detailed and approved research proposal (attached). The topic focuses on how ESG integration affects the financial resilience and attractiveness of REITs, comparing results between emerging and developed markets.
The final thesis must stay closely aligned with my proposal and not deviate significantly from the research questions, structure, or intended methodology.
✅ What I’ve Already Done:
- Completed a full research proposal (attached).
- Clearly defined research questions, objectives, and rationale.
- Proposed a quantitative methodology with performance metrics such as:
- Funds From Operations (FFO)
- Dividend yield
- Market valuation
- Sharpe ratio and beta
- ESG ratings (e.g., GRESB, LEED, etc.)
📊 Writer Responsibilities:
Please note that you will be responsible for the following tasks in addition to writing the thesis:
- Data Search:
- Locate publicly available or academic-access datasets on REITs from both developed and emerging markets.
- Suggested databases: NAREIT, EPRA, GRESB, Refinitiv, Bloomberg, or any accessible, credible sources.
- Data Cleaning and Preparation:
- Handle data wrangling, filtering, and transformation as needed for analysis.
- Ensure metrics are consistent and comparable across regions and REITs.
- Data Analysis:
- Perform regression analyses, descriptive statistics, and comparative evaluations.
- Use risk-adjusted performance indicators and ESG scoring data.
- Analyze resilience across time (e.g., pre- and post-economic shock periods).
- Data Tools:
- Use Excel, Python, R, or Refinitiv Workspace for the statistical and visualization components.
- Include all relevant tables, charts, and figures in the final thesis.
🧠 Writing Instructions:
- Do not change or shift the topic. Stay focused on REITs, ESG, and financial performance in emerging vs. developed markets.
- Follow the proposed structure:
- Abstract
- Introduction
- Literature Review
- Methodology
- Data & Results
- Discussion
- Conclusion
- Bibliography
- Appendices (if applicable)
- Use recent peer-reviewed literature, especially 2020–2025, wherever possible.
- Provide progress updates and drafts regularly for feedback.
