   Op,

   nobody gives a s**t about the dissertation. Write some good papers. Then through together a title and some filler in a couple of hours.

   Why is everyone nogooding OP?

   People really should use some creativity when naming their dissertations.

   Mine begins with "Notes on...".

   Eventually they got published in Economics Letters and Applied Economics Letters.

    "Two Essays my Advisor Wrote and One By Me"

    My adviser told me to pick a more creative title than "Essays in Finance." Now, ten years later, I am totally unable to remember the title I chose.

    One of my committee members told me to use "Essays in X", but our dept had already graduated 2 students who had called their dissertations "Essays in X", not to mention the hundreds of students at other universities over the past 20 years who called their dissertations "Essays in X".

    I chose "Selected Topics on x" where x is a very specific sub field of X. It was a stretch to clasify all of my chapters into x, but it could be done.

    OP has no idea how things are done. Almost all the time, one essay is your JMP and the other two essays are just fillers or potential papers. When you go on the job market nobody gives a s**t what your dissertation is, they're only going to listen to you present your JMP. It's a formality, that's all.

    Seems kind of silly to even have dissertation titles anymore for economics. I can't remember the last time I saw one that wasn't "Essays in [broad field]"

    if you want to get creative you can switch Essays on Macroeconomics with notes on macroeconomics, papers on macroeconomics, selected topics on macroeconomics or three papers on macroeconomics.

    question to graduating students or graduates, how related can the three papers be in terms of field, subfield or topic.

    A dissertation is a published document. If you wrote a book, would you give it the same title as another existing book on the same topic? Maybe. Would you give your book the same title as 50 other books on the same topic? Definitely not.
