Contract Type: Fixed-term, from 1 September 2025 to 30 August 2026 (some flexibility around those dates), with the possibility to extend

About the Project

This interdisciplinary research project examines key macroeconomic developments over the past three decades—including rising inequality, increased capital mobility, and the persistent decline in real interest rates—through the lens of cross-country and within-country heterogeneity.

• Explanations for persistent international economic puzzles, including the limited degree of global risk-sharing

Responsibilities:

• To work collaboratively with the principal investigator and other members of the research team including other researchers and research assistants
• Collaborate in the preparation of research publications
• To contribute to the development and management of research projects as part of the overall research agenda in the ERC grant.
