Can you suggest any conceptual framework?

Question

My thesis topic is about the role of women in advancing the field of economics. THe focus of my topic are both in the academic field which includes professors... and in the non-acad which includes women who took up bs economics and are now famous in their respective fields.

Can you suggest any conceptual or theoretical framework that i can used for my study...?

Answer 1

The thesis:

Do women using economic training in college make deeper and / or wider impact than women who teach economics in college?

(must take the proper cycle in order to count the effect)

Answer 2

It seems to me that your thesis is more of the "descriptive" type, meaning that it looks like you will  be describing the achievements and improvements female economists have created to help advance this field. As such, you don't really need a theoretical framework, what you would need is a coherent organization of how you move from one economist to the next. It can be either chronological, by field of achievement, by importance, etc.

Theoretical frameworks are used when your work needs to be supported by some concept of theory, like when you are doing a microeconomic or macroeconomic study.
