The IGIER Research Center at Bocconi University invites applications for a 12-month Research Grant related to the “MARKINDOWN - Monopsony Power and Inequality” ERC project.

Research Project:

MARKINDOWN is a multi-year project aiming at investigating the role played by monopsony (monopoly power in the demand for labor) in widening earning inequalities. Recent studies documented the pervasiveness of monopsony power in modern labor markets. Monopsonistic employers can cut wages without losing workers to competitors, pay labor below its productivity and hire fewer workers than in a competitive labor market. The resulting equilibrium is inefficient insofar as it reduces the size of the labor market.Moreover, workers tend to be exposed to excessive work injury risk. Monopsony contributes to explain declining labor shares of income, persistently high levels of workplace accidents, and limited disemployment effects of minimum wages. Much less is known about the role of monopsony in increasing earning inequality. This project aims at filling this gap by i) contributing to a better understanding of the sources of monopsony power and ii) assessing their relevance across different socio-economic groups.

Monopsony power can be due to anticompetitive arrangements introduced often in a non-transparent way in labor contracts. Another source of monopsony power is lack of information on alternative job opportunities. Frictions in the matching of workers and vacancies may discourage risk averse workers when planning to quit the firm after wage cuts. Spatial mismatch in the allocation of jobs and quitters may increase monopsony power vis-à-vis workers having a stronger distaste for commuting. Some groups of workers may also have stronger cognitive biases when interpreting available information on outside opportunities.

The MARKINDOWN project will i) assess the incidence of anticompetitive arrangements in Europe, ii) estimate firm-level labor supply elasticities across different categories of workers, and iii) using survey and experimental methods, evaluate to what extent the heterogeneity among socio-economic groups of willingness to quit a low-paid job is related to lack of information or cognitive biases.

Job Description:

The candidate will be directly involved in different phases of the PI's research project on the topic of monopsonistic power and its implications for income inequalities and will carry out his own research activity on these topics.

The profile is that of a young researcher who is about to obtain or has obtained a doctorate in economics, particularly interested in the fields of the labor market, labour supply elasticity estimates, no-compete clauses in employment contracts, social protection, and industrial relations, with solid foundations in empirical methodologies and data analysis. Prior experience in survey design and implementation as well as in the delivery of information experiments is highly valued, although not mandatory.

If you are interested, please apply here by 19th January 2025.

The Department of Economics and CEBI is pleased to announce openings of a fully-funded PhD scholarship as part of the research project “The Role of Preferences and Beliefs in Shaping Physician Careers”. This project is funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark.

You will be involved in research centered at the high-skilled labor market for physicians. Health care sectors across the world are challenged by physician shortages to match increasing demands for care. Failure to recruit and retain a diverse group of physicians in health care can be catastrophic for public health and individual patients. It can further increase inequality in access to health care, extend waiting lists unnecessarily, and keep talents of different genders and backgrounds from pursuing a medical research career within the profession. Our hypothesis is that individual physicians’ preferences, circumstances, and beliefs determine career aspirations, their realized career and family outcomes. We ask two overarching questions: 1) How are physician beliefs about career and family trade-offs shaped over the life-cycle? 2) How do preferences, circumstances and beliefs impact aspirations and realized outcomes? Using survey experiments linked at the individual level to data from administrative sources, including a randomized lottery that determines physicians’ first jobs, we will disentangle how different mechanisms causally shape physician preferences, beliefs and careers.

Join the project and collaborate with Torben Heien Nielsen (Professor at the Department of Economics) and Frederik Plesner Lyngse (Assistant Professor of Health Economics at the Department of Public Health). Successful candidates will not only work closely with senior researchers but also have the chance to pursue independent research. We therefore invite you to include a description of a potential independent research project in your application. Your description should articulate and justify a research question, as well as discuss data sources and empirical designs to address it.

2/3 of the scholarship is funded by the specific project “The Role of Preferences and Beliefs in Shaping Physician Careers”. The remaining 1/3 is funded by CEBI.

As a PhD Fellow you will be affiliated with Center for Economic Behavior and inequality, CEBI, a center of Excellence funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The main goal of CEBI is to provide cutting-edge empirical research on the role of behavior in generating inequality and its underlying sources. CEBI combines several fields and methods: Public Economics, Labor Economics, Health Economics, Behavioral Economics, Household Finance, Political Economics, Microeconometrics, Experimental and Survey Methods and Structural Modelling. The current group includes 14 senior researchers, 11 junior researchers, 12 PhD students, 7 research assistants and 7 international researchers from New York University, Pompeu Fabra University, Princeton University and University of Zürich.

Project: “Comprehending Human Action using Social Networks – CHAIN” n. 101164784 - ERC-2024-STG, HORIZON ERC Grants

Research Project:

The research project is focused on understanding how social networks influence the behavior of different groups: scientists, politicians, and ordinary citizens. It consists of three interrelated studies. The first study looks at how social media, particularly X, affects the work of scientists. By analyzing the X activity of economists, the research will explore how their online networks influence what information they find, how they collaborate, and the overall direction of their research. It will also examine whether social media leads to trends or "fads" in science that might not be beneficial. The second study investigates the role of congressional staffers in shaping U.S. policy. Using detailed data on staffers' backgrounds and their networks, this research will explore how these often behind-the-scenes players influence the decisions and priorities of Congress members. This study aims to uncover how these staffers impact voting behavior and policy outcomes. The third study examines the political impact of social media in India, specifically focusing on the messaging platform WhatsApp. It will analyze how a change in the platform's sharing policies—designed to limit the spread of information—affects conflict, beliefs, and election results in the world's largest democracy. This research will provide important insights into the effectiveness of such policy interventions in social media.

Job Description:

Successful candidates will work closely with Prof. Schwarz to jointly develop the CHAIN project. As part of this project the candidate will work on state-of-the-art research in micro-econometrics and NLP and social sciences.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Ph.D. in Economics or related social science with experience in NLP, large-scale data analysis, and causal inference

• Excellent programming skills in Python. Additional languages (Stata, R) will be considered a plus.

• Fluency in spoken and written English. Knowledge of Italian is NOT a requirement.
