Your Responsibilities

The world is changing. Our values – dignity, prosperity, and democracy – are not. Help us improve German fiscal policy so it better accomplishes those values. We are looking for individuals who share our values and commitment to quality, who have a clear perspective on how the production of knowledge can most effectively support positive change, and who are willing to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze fiscal, economic, and labor market policies and develop proposals for their advancement.

We offer an environment in which you and your ideas can develop into the best version of themselves. Dezernat Zukunft (DZ) will help you improve your skills and grow your public profile, bring your ideas and analyses into public debate – whether through German and English daily and weekly newspapers, publications in magazines for experts and public servants, podcasts, interviews, or on TV.

You will be part of a think tank that aims at making the world a better place. As a Fiscal & Growth Economist in the newly established DZ Growth Lab, you will have the following tasks and responsibilities:

• Conduct research, particularly on growth, production, private and public investment, economic and fiscal policy, and other macroeconomic issues. You will identify the latest research through online searches and conversations, analyze the economic situation, and develop policy proposals. Together with our team, you will decide which projects to tackle and which proposals to develop.
• Develop robust, useful models and datasets to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze the macroeconomic and fiscal effects of financial, economic, and labor market policies. Based on your macroeconomic analyses, you will develop proposals for fiscal and economic policy. You will be supported and guided by our experts. These analyses will be a core part of your role with us. With much at stake in our work, rigorous and transparent empirical analyses are essential.
• Take responsibility for your projects. You work independently and thoroughly, have a deep interest in public finance, macroeconomics, and politics, and are determined to dig deeper, even if it means going the extra mile. The team will support you whenever necessary, but initiative and responsibility are yours.
• You are eager to learn something new every day. Macroeconomic policy is complex. No one comes with all the necessary skills or wisdom (including us!). While we expect you to bring knowledge and opinions, more important are the abilities to expand your knowledge, change your opinions, and balance theory with practical policy to achieve the best possible outcome. We challenge, encourage, and train each other daily to this end.
• You are willing to interact with representatives from parliaments, governments, academia, and the media, or to develop in this direction. Our work only succeeds when we engage with these groups, listen, and collaborate. As a Fiscal & Growth Economist, you will learn how these actors operate and how this can be incorporated into our work.

Your Profile

• Orientation: You share our values and goals.
• Pragmatism, curiosity, and passion: You have a desire to make a real impact and want to get to the core of things.
• Passion for numbers and brainpower: You possess excellent quantitative skills, including substantial experience with modeling in Excel and at least one other common programming language. You also bring qualitative skills.
• Macro knowledge: You have solid academic knowledge and one to two years of work experience in at least one of the following areas: macroeconomics, economic policy, fiscal policy, policy analysis, or consulting.
• Diligent analysis: You have experience developing and creating reliable analyses (both quantitative and textual). You understand that our analyses and proposals will be scrutinized by the public and work accordingly.
• Writing talent: You have excellent German and English skills and are able to write clear, well-structured texts.
• Team spirit: You are willing to work as part of a team, to listen, support, and challenge your colleagues.

Why Us?

We offer:

• Active support for your development in terms of content, skills, networks, and tasks, including support for training and further education.
• Regular interaction with politics, media, academia, and public administration.
• Good data access via professional data providers.
• We pay according to the public sector collective agreement, pay grade 13. The exact classification depends on your responsibilities and experience.

Your Responsibilities

The world is changing. Our values – dignity, prosperity, and democracy – are not. Help us improve German fiscal policy so it better accomplishes those values. We are looking for individuals who share our values and commitment to quality, who have a clear perspective on how the production of knowledge can most effectively support positive change, and who are willing to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze fiscal, economic, and labor market policies and develop proposals for their advancement.

We offer an environment in which you and your ideas can develop into the best version of themselves. Dezernat Zukunft (DZ) will help you improve your skills and grow your public profile, bring your ideas and analyses into public debate – whether through German and English daily and weekly newspapers, publications in magazines for experts and public servants, podcasts, interviews, or on TV.

You will be part of a think tank that aims at making the world a better place. As Junior Fiscal & Growth Economist in the newly established DZ Growth Lab, you will have the following tasks and responsibilities:

• Conduct research, particularly on growth, production, private and public investment, economic and fiscal policy, and other macroeconomic issues. You will identify the latest research through online searches and conversations and analyze the economic situation. You will contribute to our team’s decision on which projects to tackle and which proposals to develop.
• Support the development of robust, useful models and datasets to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze the macroeconomic and fiscal effects of financial, economic, and labor market policies. Based on these macroeconomic analyses, you will help develop proposals for fiscal and economic policy. You will be supported and guided by our experts. These analyses will be a core part of your role with us. With much at stake in our work, rigorous and transparent empirical analyses are essential.
• Together with our experts, you will take responsibility for your projects. You work independently and thoroughly, have a deep interest in public finance, macroeconomics, and politics, and are determined to dig deeper, even if it means going the extra mile. The team will support you whenever necessary. Showing initiative and taking responsibility are desirable.
• You are eager to learn something new every day. Macroeconomic policy is complex. No one comes with all the necessary skills or wisdom (including us!). While we expect you to bring knowledge and opinions, more important are the abilities to expand your knowledge, change your opinions, and balance theory with practical policy to achieve the best possible outcome. We challenge, encourage, and train each other daily to this end.
• You are willing to interact with representatives from parliaments, governments, academia, and the media, or to develop in this direction, guided by our experts. Our work only succeeds when we engage with these groups, listen, and collaborate. As Junior Fiscal & Growth Economist, you will learn how these actors operate and how this can be incorporated into our work.

Your Profile

• Orientation: You share our values and goals.
• Pragmatism, curiosity, and passion: You have a desire to make a real impact and want to get to the core of things.
• Passion for numbers and brainpower: You possess solid quantitative skills, including some experience with modeling in Excel and at least one other common programming language. You also bring qualitative skills.
• Beginner’s macro knowledge: You have initial academic knowledge and possibly work experience in at least one of the following areas: macroeconomics, economic policy, fiscal policy, policy analysis, or consulting.
• Diligent analysis: You have initial experience developing and creating reliable analyses (both quantitative and textual). You understand that our analyses and proposals will be scrutinized by the public and work accordingly.
• Writing talent: You have excellent German and English skills and are able to write clear, well-structured texts.
• Team spirit: You are willing to work as part of a team, to listen, support, and challenge your colleagues.

Why Us?

We offer:

• Active support for your development in terms of content, skills, networks, and tasks, including support for training and further education.
• Regular interaction with politics, media, academia, and public administration.
• Good data access via professional data providers.
• We pay according to the public sector collective agreement, pay grade 12. The exact classification depends on your responsibilities and experience.
• A flexible home-office policy and an attractive office in a central location.
• And last but not least: a fantastic team, meaningful work, and a lot of fun.

Until very recently, students of the political economy of finance considered bankers the undisputed masters of the capitalist universe. Since the global financial crisis of 2008, however, we have seen a change of guard. Today, the financial system increasingly revolves around asset managers — mutual fund providers, private equity and venture capital firms, and hedge funds. Although asset managers serve as the agents of (individual and institutional) wealth owners, their control over ‘other people’s money’ makes them the pivotal actors in corporate governance, and in matters of capital allocation more broadly.

Brown University invites applications for a two-year Postdoctoral Research Associate in Political Economy at the Watson Institute for International & Public Affairs. We seek a scholar interested in studying the emerging area of asset manager capitalism from a political economy perspective. An explicit focus on inequalities is an asset, as is experience in working with large-scale financial datasets. We encourage research proposals that seek to answer big questions about the political economy of capitalism.

The successful candidate will be working with Prof. Mark Blyth at the Rhodes Center for International Economics and Finance at Brown University (Providence) and with Prof. Benjamin Braun at the European Institute at the London School of Economics (LSE). This is a two-year appointment. It is expected that the successful candidate will be primarily located at Brown with occasional short-term research stays at LSE.

Ability to conduct and write policy-oriented research, as well as academic research, is essential.

There are no teaching responsibilities.

The selected candidate will devote 50 percent time to projects at the Rhodes Center and 50 percent time to their own research projects.

The Watson Institute is especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute, through their research, teaching, and/or service, to the diversity and excellence of the academic community.

Annual salary of $75,000, benefits-eligible position. Additional funding may be made available for research expenses and research-related programming on campus.

Applications must be submitted via Interfolio at the following link http://apply.interfolio.com/147689

Opportunity Insights (OI) at Harvard University is hiring several full-time predoctoral fellows to start in Summer 2025 to work with our research group and under the direction of Raj Chetty, John Friedman, and Nathan Hendren. OI is a nonpartisan research and policy institute focused on improving economic opportunity. Founded in 2018, OI has become a nationally and internationally recognized leader in the science of economic mobility and in the use of large administrative data to understand and address inequality. OI has published seminal work on national trends in upward mobility; racial disparities; the role of neighborhoods, social capital, and higher education in upward mobility; and the use of private-sector data to understand disparate impacts in the recent economic recession and recovery. Much of the team’s ongoing research uses quasi-experimental methods to identify causal effects and test the predictions of economic and sociological models. Examples of current research projects include: long-term impacts of neighborhoods and place-based policies, the role of colleges in upward mobility, using big data to address health disparities, and measuring how social networks affect mobility. OI’s work has shaped policy discussions at the national and local level, with nearly a dozen of its studies covered on the front pages of major media outlets, such as the New York Times, The Economist, The Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal, and have been widely cited in policy discussions.

Fellows will be based at Harvard or Brown Universities under the direction of Professors Chetty, Friedman, and Hendren. The fellowship will include a variety of tasks that provide preparation for graduate school or other industry research positions, such as analyzing data, developing statistical models, creating presentations, and editing research papers. In addition to working with OI faculty, predoctoral fellows frequently co-author papers with other students or faculty members. Fellows will interact regularly with professors and their collaborators – such as Stefanie DeLuca, David Deming, Benny Goldman, Matthew Jackson, Larry Katz, Theresa Kuchler, Michael Stepner, and Johannes Stroebel – in a team-oriented lab environment, with regular lab meetings, seminars, and other events. Fellows also have the opportunity to support our research translation and policy work through such resources as the Opportunity Atlas, the Social Capital Atlas, and the Economic Tracker.

Fellows are invited to participate in broader activities at Harvard and Brown, including seminars and courses. The program serves as an ideal bridge between college and graduate school for students interested in empirical economics. Most previous fellows have gone on to top Ph.D. programs. Salary and benefits are competitive with other top predoctoral fellowships.

As an organization focused on economic mobility, we value the many backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences in our community. We welcome applications from persons from underrepresented groups. Even if applicants are uncertain whether their technical research skill or subject-matter knowledge will be competitive, we strongly encourage applications.

Applicants should have completed a bachelor’s degree (or be on track to complete by July 2025) or master’s degree, have strong quantitative skills, and experience with empirical research methods. Candidates with research experience are strongly preferred, especially those with programming experience in Stata, SAS, R, and/or Python. Candidates need not be Economics majors, though they should have a strong interest in and some experience with Economics. Successful candidates have come from a variety of backgrounds (including from undergraduate and graduate programs, industry jobs, and other research assistant positions), and have a range of skill levels and experience with coding.

Fellowships will begin around July 1, 2025. Fellows typically work at OI full-time for two years before starting graduate school in Economics or another social science or pursuing other related career paths.

Note: Persons may only apply once during the 2024-2025 academic year. If you apply during the Fall 2024 hiring session and are not selected, you will not be eligible to reapply until the 2025-2026 academic year (i.e., Fall 2025 or Spring 2026 hiring rounds).

APPLICATION DEADLINE MONDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2024.

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.

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.
