CALL OF INTEREST
POSITIONS AS RESEARCH FELLOW AT ITALIAN UNIVERSITIES:
University of Bologna, Ca' Foscari University, Free
University of Bozen-Bolzano
Under the Italian PRIN Project entitled “Hi-di network econometric
analysis of high dimensional models with network structures in
macroeconomics and finance – PROT. 2017TA7TYC” funded by the
Italian Ministry of Education, the Departments of Economics at the
University of Bologna, the Department of Economics of the Ca’
Foscari University of Venice and the Faculty of Economics
and Management at Free University of Bozen-Bolzano are opening a
call of interest for three positions as Research Fellow (one
position for each university). The positions will be funded by the
project up to 24 months.
The research project covers the following topics:
(i) Development of novel multivariate econometric models and
methods able to deal with network effects and to take into
account time varying relationships. Attention will be paid on
how latent factors drive economic systems and are subject to
instability. Their roles will be studied and compared in the
pre- and post-coronavirus era.
(ii) Analysis of interconnected networks: either physical or
intangible networks, observed or estimated. Results will expand
academic knowledge on statistical modelling of network event
data in a broad range of areas including, but not limited to,
social media information diffusion, economic/financial crises
contagion and epidemic/disease spread phaenomena.
(iii) Economic impact of uncertainty: uncertainty is expected to
act as a key driving factor in the aftermath of the covid-19 shock
and the focus will be also on the policy actions necessary at the
macro level to offset the economic consequences of a shock of size
never experienced by world economies after WW2.
Interested researchers can express their willingness to apply not
later than 31st May 2020. Applications should include the CV of
the candidate a short research proposal related to the topics
covered by the project, and the indication of the University where
the research activity will be carried out.
