The Research Department of the Central Bank of Malta is offering an Internship Programme of a duration ranging from 3 to 6 months for Ph.D. students who have completed their exams and are at an advanced stage in their research programme.

Although the ideal candidate should have research interests and technical knowledge in line with the projects described below, the Bank is willing to accept candidates whose research proposal could fit more broadly its research agenda.

The purpose of the Programme is dual: selected candidates will closely collaborate with senior staff of the Research Department enabling them to familiarize with the Bank's research activities and with policy work in ESCB institutions, while at the same time they engage staff members with novel research and advanced techniques developed in academia.

Project 1: Implementation of Density Forecasts and Macro-at-Risk Approaches

A quantitative assessment of risks to the economic outlook play an important role in both economic policy and private sector decisions. Lately, policy institutions are stressing the importance of having a structured and econometric-based approach to the treatment of risks of macroeconomic projections.

This project aims at filling this methodological gap by developing a toolkit able to accurately estimate the risks surrounding the Bank’s projections and to account for the considerable volatility and the significant data revisions affecting the Maltese data.

A detailed description of the project describing tasks and requirements can be found here: https://www.centralbankmalta.org/site/About-Us/Careers/2024/Doctorate-internship-Project-1.pdf

Project 2: Develop our understanding of short- and medium-term economic impacts of adverse climate outcomes

The understanding of the physical impacts of climate change are highly relevant to the Bank’s primary mandate to help maintain price stability in the euro area. In the short term, extreme weather events could lead to the destruction of housing and productive capital leading to short-lived disruptions in supply and short-lived inflation spikes. In the medium-to-long run however, climate change can lead to more persistent reductions in output and upward pressures on inflation.

In this light, the CBM is planning to start looking at the empirical links between climate change and macroeconomic outcomes. The approaches utilized are planned to be in line with Kotz (2023) and Cicarelli et al (2023).

A detailed description of the project describing tasks and requirements can be found here: https://www.centralbankmalta.org/site/About-Us/Careers/2024/Doctorate-internship-Project-2.pdf

Research agenda

Apart from these two suggested projects, the Bank’s Economic Research Department is currently conducting research work in the following broad areas:

A. Study of country/bank specific characteristics for monetary policy transmission

B. Inflation nowcasting using webscraped retail price data

C. Sectoral effects of extension of ETS system

D. Impacts of inflation on households – microsimulations using HFCS data

E. Development of multicountry DSGE model with energy/climate features

The Bank will offer IT support. Access to confidential data may be granted, if needed for research purposes.

During the Internship, selected candidates will present the progress of their work in internal seminars. By the end of the Internship selected candidates are required to prepare a research paper to be published in the Bank’s working paper series.

Eligibility

Applicants must have completed all courses and be at an advanced stage of their Ph.D. in economics, econometrics or finance. They must be fluent in English.

How to apply

To apply the Internship Programme, candidates should submit in pdf:

1. A cover letter

Want to quantify real-world cross-price-elasticities? Estimate competitive intensity? Make millions of counterfactual predictions? And use all this to actively drive quantifiable, significant impact? Then come join our team! As Zalando’s algorithmic pricing team, we price 500k products across 20+ countries every day. To do so, we bring together deep-learning-based forecasting methods with rigorous econometric demand modeling and off-policy learning.

Pricing is a key lever to steer Zalando’s €15+bn in GMV, to improve our platform economics, and to better understand our and partners' competitive positioning in the dynamic fashion marketplace. Better pricing has significant economic impact, but through managing our seasonal inventory it also reduces waste and our environmental footprint. Here, you can make a real difference at the intersection of state-of-the-art econometrics and causal machine learning.

In this role, you will be a central thought leader in our understanding of demand systems: how does price affect demand? How do value-anchoring effects around discounts come into play? How can we estimate cross-price substitution in a computationally tractable way? Can we measure the role consumer consideration plays? What about competitors' prices? Can we model forward- and backward-looking consumer behavior? How can these insights inform our pricing algorithms, and what might they tell us about related topics such as assortment, marketing, and product ranking?

You will learn about our pricing systems and utilize our full dataset for high-exposure projects. You will be part of a cross-functional team, responsible for selecting the scientific approaches as well as building the systems for pricing science. Your colleagues will include PhD economists, former professors, and machine learning experts. You can grow your career through hands-on implementation of the latest ideas in the literature, and hard-and-fast A/B-tested evidence of your contributions. You’ll get to work and collaborate alongside senior Zalando economists (including Justin Rao and Greg Crawford). You will have access to Zalando’s comprehensive data sources, computational infrastructure, and software tooling.

Help us build a system that uses off-policy experimentation, automated causal learning, demand modeling, and continuous measurement to increase market efficiency and reduce waste.

WHERE YOUR EXPERTISE IS NEEDED

- Help us reach the frontier of demand estimation: coming from our existing and validated own-price elasticities, we want to estimate more complete models of demand that include substitution, consideration, display, and competition.

- We have terabytes worth of observational and experimental data on purchase histories, clickstreams, and product similarity scores, amongst others. You will use these sources as needed, and propose efficient experimentation strategies to generate interventional data where necessary.

- Influence neighboring teams in algorithmic pricing and beyond to allow your breakthroughs in demand estimation to impact Zalando’s pricing and platform algorithms end-to-end.

- As an evangelist of econometric methods, you will collaborate with economists and machine learning experts to build the most data-efficient, impact-oriented pricing solutions possible.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

- Excellent educational background (PhD, or M.Sc. with relevant professional experience) in economics or marketing, ideally specialized in structural empirical industrial organization or quantitative marketing.

- Strong background in demand estimation. Ideal candidates have experience building and estimating custom models with large-scale, real-world datasets, as well as making the tradeoffs associated with alternative methodological approaches given the available data.

- Experience driving product impact: You are able to maintain a medium-term research roadmap while regularly delivering incremental improvements to our systems. You also speak fluent “business” and can work with senior stakeholders.

- Scientific pragmatism: good judgment for the right level of rigor to deliver results. You know when in-depth modeling pays off, and when pasting aggregated data into a spreadsheet will do the trick.

- The ability to implement your models in Python or R, and to wrangle terabytes of data using SQL and/or spark on large, complex datasets.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every single qualification: some strong candidates may lack parts of the listed qualifications. Research shows that underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work.

The researcher will engage with a variety of topics in applied microeconomics, ranging from labor market and education interventions to tax and transfer policies. This empirical work will be combined with welfare analysis building on recent insights from public economics. The role will require careful and detailed re-analysis of previously evaluated policies, and new empirical work using recently introduced large-scale linked administrative datasets. Data analysis skills are required, including Stata or R, and GitHub. An appreciation of the fundamentals of public finance is also required. In addition to academic publications, we expect our results to be of direct relevance to current debates and choices about policy in Australia and elsewhere. The position is fixed term for three to five years.

We are looking for someone with a strong background in economics to join our team as a Research and Data Project Lead in Economics. This role will focus on leading economics-related projects, particularly within our core topics of global poverty, inequality, economic growth, and government spending. This person will collaborate closely with our data scientists and help guide the strategic direction of our work in these areas. The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong capability in project management, technical writing, and data analysis, along with a deep understanding of economic research and data.

Joining Our World in Data as a Research and Data Project Lead in Economics is a fantastic opportunity for someone excited to dive into the questions that shape our quantitative understanding of the economic dimensions of the world’s largest problems. You’ll get to lead projects that unpack and explain the data on issues such as poverty, inequality, economic growth, labor markets, and public finance to a global audience. This role offers the chance to have a substantial impact, as our work is used and cited by media outlets worldwide, academic researchers, and organizations like the United Nations, World Bank, OECD, and national governments.

Example projects

To give you an idea of the kind of work you can expect in this role, here is a list of some example projects:

• Building a long-run series of GDP per capita that can be continuously updated by combining the Maddison Project Database with a frequently updated source like the World Bank.
• Estimating the global income distribution from 1800 until today based on the Maddison Project Database.
• Projecting the global poverty headcount ratio for several poverty lines based on various growth scenarios for the coming decade.
• Writing an explainer that lays out how the concept of household income in the World Bank’s poverty data differs from the income definition in the national accounts (GDP per capita).

Key responsibilities

• Lead our research projects in economics, including the exploration, analysis, and visualization of economic data, working closely with data scientists and other researchers.
• Produce high-quality technical articles to make complex economic concepts and data accessible to a diverse audience, including policymakers, academics, journalists, and the general public.
• Contribute to writing new Data Insights focused on poverty, inequality, economic growth, and other economics-related issues.
• Regularly evaluate and scope new research ideas, assessing their feasibility and potential impact on our audience’s understanding of economic issues.
• Help set and prioritize Our World in Data’s economic research agenda to guide long-term and short-term goals.
• Act as a primary liaison with key data providers, including our colleagues at the World Bank, OECD, World Inequality Lab, Luxembourg Income Study, Maddison Project Database, and other significant economic research groups.

Required skills and experience

• Strong background in economics, preferably with experience in a research-intensive role in academia, think tanks, international organizations, or government.
• Demonstrated ability to lead and manage research projects, including as part of a team.
• Experience writing clear and accurate articles for a general audience, focusing on economic data and methods.
• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to work effectively across a multidisciplinary team and maintain productive relationships with key research partners and colleagues.

Skills and experience that will set you apart

• Experience creating engaging and informative data visualizations.
• Ability to contribute to strategic discussions and provide input on the future directions of economic research at Our World in Data.
• Experience analyzing and extracting meaningful insights from complex datasets using statistical programming languages (knowledge of Python is not required for this position).

Personal characteristics we look for

• Capacity to analyze information critically.
• Ability to change your mind based on new evidence.
• High degree of initiative and ability to independently drive projects from concept to completion.
• Natural curiosity about economic issues and a strong desire to continually learn and understand broader challenges in global development.
• Excellent team collaboration skills, able to integrate smoothly into a diverse and dynamic team environment.

How to apply

Please complete this form to apply (you will need a Google account). For longer answers, we recommend you prepare them in a separate document and copy them to the form before submitting.

Overall, we’ve aimed to make our application exercises close to what you would do in this role. The form will ask you for the following:

• Your CV/resume.
• Where you came across this job ad so that we can track the effectiveness of our advertising efforts.
• Why you want to work for Our World in Data and why you think you’re the right person for this job (maximum 3,000 characters).
• 1 to 3 links to examples demonstrating your ability to communicate complex economic concepts clearly and effectively to a smart audience of non-experts. This could include articles, blog posts, policy reports, or similar work. Master’s theses and PhDs should not be included and will not count as evidence of your ability here, as they are authored for an expert audience.
• Answers to 9 multiple-choice questions on economic indicators. This involves some light data manipulation; we expect this part of the application to take 1 to 2 hours.

Location:

Our offices are in Oxford, United Kingdom, but many people in our team work remotely. We welcome applications from international candidates, though working hours should partly overlap with core UK working hours to facilitate effective collaboration with our team. Visa sponsorship may be considered for the right candidate, depending on individual circumstances and relocation preference.

Compensation:

£55,000 to £65,000 per year for candidates living in the UK. We will discuss ranges with international candidates individually.
