Researcher/PostDoc Position on ‘Regional Economic Modeling of Long-Term Scenario’s and Climate Policy Impacts'-
**_Do you have experience in economic modeling and would enjoy a 1,5-year project between academia and government with a real impact on policy? Join our PBL-TU Delft team_**
Job description
Ambitious climate policy, such as the EU Green Deal and Dutch Delta Program, requires comprehensive assessments of its national, sectoral and regional economic impacts along a range of possible long-term socio-economic and climate scenarios. Several research institutes in the Netherlands are currently developing such long-term scenario’s taking into account their regional economic, environmental and welfare effects at subnational level for the Netherlands and Europe. This project offers a unique opportunity to perform impactful work between advanced academic and policy-oriented research by contributing to the development of regional and sectoral long-term scenarios for the Netherlands and European Union using a combination of statistical and econometric data analysis with Spatial Computable General Equilibrium modeling. The ambition is to provide new insights into the implications of future climate change and various European policies (including climate, regional, transport and energy policies) at the regional scale for both Netherlands and European Union. Analysis will be partly based on a unique database of all major European Union policies provided to PBL by the European Commission.
The direct tasks of this PostDoc position include:
- Literature review and statistical analysis of empirical data on regional impacts of various EU policies that can be used to develop scenarios;
- Co-development of specific scenarios of regional development, e.g. regional inequalities as an outcome of EU policy and future climate change, changes in sectoral productivity and in consumption patterns;
- Advance and run Spatial Computable General Equilibrium model developed by PBL to quantify the various regional scenarios as well as analyze and describe the model outcomes.
**Requirements**:
- PhD degree (for PostDoc level) or MSc degree (if starting at the post-MSc researcher level) in Economics, Operations Research or Econometrics.
- Experience of modeling in STATA, R or Python.
- Knowledge of/experience of modeling in GAMS is an advantage.
- Track record in economic modeling, preferably Computable General Equilibrium modeling.
- Domain knowledge in the field of climate or regional policy is an asset;
- Solid problem-solving skills and capacity to take the initiative;
- Ability to work well in a team.
- Proven written and verbal English communication skills (do mention your key publications in the motivation letter).
- Knowledge of Dutch is not obligatory but is an asset.
