Job Description
The position is allocated to the newly established Research Training Group 'Coping with Uncertainty in Dynamic Economies' (CUDE), which is concerned with a new subfield in economic theory that merges two features central to current and future economies: uncertainty and dynamics. Here, uncertainty is understood in the sense that decision makers struggle to assign reliable estimates of probabilities to future events. This notion of uncertainty is widely believed to capture our world's mega trends such as climate change, energy crisis, migration, pandemics, and technological developments.With the expertise of our participating researchers, you'll have the chance to conduct your own projects within the areasIndividual Behavior under Uncertainty in Dynamic EnvironmentsUncertainty in Markets and Strategic InteractionsConsequences of Uncertainty for Policy and WelfareResearch Collaboration: Collaboration is key to our program's success.
In particular, the research training group holds strong ties with many international researchers that are invited for block courses and summer schools on topics of our research agenda. As a highlight of our program, the Mercator fellow Jean-Marc Tallon complements the research training group and will provide outstanding expertise as well as add significant value to several CUDE research projects.
