Isaac Sorkin Awarded 2026 Sherwin Rosen Prize by Society of Labor Economists
This prestigious award recognizes Sorkin's significant contributions to the field of labor economics, particularly his innovative research on worker mobility, firm amenities, and labor market inequality. Sorkin, who earned his B.A. from Swarthmore College and both M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, has been recognized as one of the leading labor economists of his generation. His pivotal work titled "Ranking Firms Using Revealed Preference" published in the Quarterly Journal of Economics in 2018, has reshaped understanding of wage variations among firms. The study utilizes extensive matched employer-employee data to construct a firm-level ranking based on worker mobility insights, challenging conventional views that wage differentials largely reflect pay premia. His ongoing research further extends to various facets of labor economics, including market structure, minimum wage impacts, and application of econometric strategies. Sorkin's work stands out for its methodological contributions that combine theoretical insights with empirical analysis, significantly altering perceptions within the field. With a commitment to advancing the understanding of labor dynamics, Sorkin's scholarship not only exemplifies excellence but also underscores the importance of empirical design in economic research, establishing him as a distinguished voice in his domain. The Sherwin Rosen Prize celebrates scholars who demonstrate exceptional originality and influence in labor economics. Previous winners include Daron Acemoglu (2004), who later went on to win a Nobel prize, and Raj Chetty (2016), who has won the Clark Medal and multiple other recognitions in the field.

Call for Papers: Talent Economics Conference 2026 Global Talent Fund and the Einaudi Institute for Economics and Finance (EIEF) invite submissions for the Talent Economics Conference. The conference aims to bring together leading researchers to discuss frontier research on the economics of talent. We are particularly interested in three questions. First, how does exceptional STEM talent develop, and what role do cognitive ability, effort, environment, and noise in measurement play in producing the right tail of the distribution? Second, how can high-potential young people be identified earlier and more reliably, particularly outside the rich-country institutions that currently capture them? Third, how do exceptional individuals shape scientific discovery, productivity, and growth: through their own output, through spillovers to peers, and through the networks they help form? We welcome both theoretical and empirical contributions on topics including, but not limited to: Gifted education programs and interventions Early indicators of future STEM excellence Access to higher education for talented individuals Sectoral allocation of talent and its consequences Cognitive ability and human capital accumulation The role of talented individuals in science and innovation Keynote speakers: Prithwiraj (Raj) Choudhury, LSE John Van Reenen, LSE Program committee Ruchir Agarwal (Harvard University and Global Talent Fund) Gaia Dossi (Einaudi Institute for Economics and Finance) Patrick Gaule (University of Bristol and Global Talent Fund) PhD workshop: A half-day workshop on Talent Economics will be held on the afternoon of Wednesday 21 October 2026. The workshop will offer PhD students and postdocs an introduction to the field’s central questions, data sources, and empirical approaches. How to submit Authors should submit a complete paper in PDF format here or by using the “Submit a paper” button below. We also welcome expressions of interest to pitch a paper for 5 minutes and/or attend the conference without presentation.

Kelsey Moran Wins 2026 ZEW Heinz König Young Scholar Award
The ZEW Mannheim has announced that Kelsey Moran, PhD, from the University of Miami, is the recipient of the 2026 Heinz König Young Scholar Award. This prestigious award, given for the 26th time, recognizes outstanding empirical research and comprises a prize of €5,000. Moran was honored for her paper titled "Costs of Technological Frictions: Evidence from EHR (Non-)Interoperability," co-authored with Rebekah Dix from Stanford University and Thi Mai Anh Nguyen from New York University. The paper investigates a pressing market failure in the digital economy: the lack of data portability within electronic health record systems across U.S. hospitals. The research indicates that technological barriers not only inflate financial costs but also jeopardize patient well-being and the quality of public services. Professor Irene Bertschek, who heads ZEW's Digital Economy Research Unit, commended Moran's work for its thorough analysis and significance regarding European digital market regulations such as the Digital Markets Act, which aims to enhance interoperability and data sharing among large platforms. The award presentation took place in the presence of Dr. Joanna Kowalska, Chief Financial Officer of Hornbach Baumarkt AG, this year's sponsor. She highlighted the societal impact of the research and the importance of supporting promising researchers in their endeavors. The Heinz König Young Scholar Award, named after ZEW's founding director, aims to promote young academics, continuing a tradition that underlines the institute’s commitment to enhancing empirical economic research.

The 22nd ICABE 2026 focuses on how rapid technological, economic, and societal changes are transforming the global economy. It highlights the rise of smart economies, which use technologies like AI, big data, blockchain, and IoT to improve efficiency, policymaking, and collaboration, and adaptive enterprises, which must continuously evolve through digital transformation, agility, and data-driven strategies to stay competitive. The conference also examines the growing importance of digital assets and decentralized systems, such as cryptocurrencies and DeFi, which are reshaping finance, ownership, and trust while raising regulatory and stability concerns.

Full Professorship in Economics and Security
HUMANISTIC. SUSTAINABLE. ENTREPRENEURIAL. Leuphana University of Lüneburg stands for innovation in research and education. Methodological diversity, interdisciplinary collaboration, transdisciplinary cooperation with partners outside academia and a dynamic development characterize its research profile in the fields of education, culture, management & technology, sustainability as well as public affairs. Its award-winning study model is organized into the Leuphana College, the Leuphana Graduate School and the Leuphana Professional School. THE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS AT LEUPHANA UNIVERSITY OF LÜNEBURG INVITES APPLICATIONS FOR THE FOLLOWING FULL PROFESSORSHIP: Economics and Security (W3) We are seeking a distinguished researcher to join the newly established Leuphana Centre for Cooperative Security (LCCS). The professorship represents the area Economics and Security in research and teaching. The professorship is based at the Institute of Economics and contributes to the establishment and leadership of the LCCS. The Leuphana Centre for Cooperative Security (LCCS) is an interdisciplinary center for research on security that combines the subjects of law, economics, political science, and psychology. Premised on a broad conception of security that goes beyond the traditional focus on the military security of states, it conducts basic research on the conditions under which cooperation may enhance or undermine security in three principal areas: international security, internal security and economic security. The LCCS also develops recommendations for action in politics, business, and society, focusing on cooperative solutions to the consequences of diverse security threats for Germany in the European context. As a space for research and debate on the pressing security issues of the 21st century, the LCCS connects researchers from Leuphana, Germany, and around the world with expert representatives from the field. The position strengthens the Institute of Economics and the School of Public Affairs by advancing their shared focus on “evidence-based policy” and “resilient society” within the University‘s “Embracing Transformation” framework. For this position, we are seeking an outstanding researcher with an international profile to contribute to research on economic security, with a focus on macroeconomics at the intersection of international economic relations and defense economics generating a lasting impact in their field as well as for society. The research areas include topics such as (de-)globalization and international economic (dis)integration, economic dependencies and the resilience of international trade relations and supply chains. Further relevant topics are international financial integration, public finance, as well as the protection of key economic sectors and geoeconomic analyses related to international trade policy, multinational investment, and economic sanctions. Your research is based on modern econometric methods. Research excellence is demonstrated through an independent, broad, and innovative research profile evidenced by a continuous publication track record in high-ranking journals in the subject area of this professorship with high national and international visibility, a promising publication pipeline, and a viable publication strategy for the coming years that is related to the LCCS’s research agenda. You have built up a vibrant network and are active in leading national and international scientific associations, conferences, and societies. A clear and convincing vision is expected for how you plan to expand and institutionalize your research portfolio at Leuphana by making use of available competitive national and international funding opportunities (e.g., DFG, EU Horizon). In doing so, you should have experience in conducting self-acquired competitive third-party funded projects and have obtained management experience in successfully leading and mentoring research teams and/or collaborative interdisciplinary research projects. You are also prepared to assume leadership and organizational responsibilities within the LCCS and have leadership experience conducive to this role. You participate in research networks and cooperations and are committed to promoting early-career researchers. Your academic work gives evidence of your talent for cooperating with partners inside and outside academia and your strong commitment to interdisciplinary dialogue. You have already established strong networks both nationally and internationally with stakeholders from business, civil society, the military and politics (at federal, state and international level) and contribute actively to science communication and knowledge transfer. You have proven experience in the supervision of students (Bachelor, Master, Ph.D.) and can document your teaching experiences in seminars and lectures in the subject areas of this professorship. You are willing to teach Macroeconomics classes at all levels.

Jean Drèze Receives 2026 Global Inequality Research Award
The accolade acknowledges his remarkable efforts in poverty and inequality research in India, alongside his advocacy for crucial acts like the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) and the National Food Security Act (NFSA). Drèze emphasized the collaborative nature of his work, stating, "This recognition is not something I achieved on my own. All the work I do is in collaboration with people and collectives working for change." He highlighted India's complex inequality landscape, noting the intersections of economic disparity, caste systems, and gender inequality, while also acknowledging the rich tradition of resistance in the country. The award recognises researchers from diverse fields contributing to the understanding of global inequalities. It was jointly established by the World Inequality Lab (WIL) and Sciences Po’s Center for Research on Social Inequalities (CRIS). This marks the second biannual presentation of the GiRA, following its inaugural award in 2024 to Bina Argawal and James K. Boyce for their impactful work on social and environmental inequalities. Jean Drèze was born in Belgium, and moved to India in the late 1970s. He is now a dual-citizen of both countries. He has taught at LSE in London, and the Delhi School of Economics. He is a widely renowned economist and has published works together with Nobel laureates Angus Deaton and Amartya Sen, as well as Nicholas Stern. Apart from his academic work, he has campaigned for improved social rights in India and played a key role in the design of Indian government policies, helping to develop a social protection framework in the country.
Renowned economist Jean Drèze has been awarded the Global Inequality Research Award during the World Inequality Conference, which was held in the first week of June in Paris.

PhD in Methods and Models for Economic Decisions – cycle 42 – a.a. 2026/2027
The PhD programme lasts three years; activities are generally conducted on campus and in English. Each post is endowed with a scholarship of about €16.243 gross per year. Each student is endowed with an additional budget of about €1.624 per year for research activities. The PhD programme is hosted by Department of Economics of the University of Insubria (located in Varese, Italy), which has been granted the Departments of Excellence award and funding plan for the period 2023 – 2027 by the ANVUR (Italian National Agency for the Evaluation of Universities and Research Institutes), ranking 8th among the Italian departments of economics and statistics. Topic and goals A substantial part of economic analysis centres on decision-making processes. Consumers and producers, workers and firms, banks and managers, households and policymakers are constantly making decisions that carry economic significance. Economists seek to understand, predict, or influence the processes underlying these decisions. The analysis of human decision-making draws on a range of methods and models, which vary considerably across different areas of economic research. For example, classical decision theory is largely rooted in mathematical modelling, whereas more recent developments in behavioural decision theory often employ experimental methods. Econometric techniques are used to examine the factors influencing specific decisions, such as those related to labour, transport, health, or charitable giving. Particular attention is also given to contemporary approaches in policy evaluation. Computational methods play a key role in simulating interactions among economic agents and in assessing the broader economic implications of those interactions. The PhD programme in Methods and Models for Economic Decisions equips early-career researchers with the skills to master the wide range of theoretical and applied approaches used in economics to analyse decision-making processes. Faculty The PhD Board includes faculty members of Insubria University as well as faculty members of other Italian and foreign universities. See the PhD webpages in English and Italian for the complete faculty list. Organization In the first year of the programme, students attend compulsory courses to acquire a broad set of research skills (from theory to data analysis), that allow them to tackle the complex phenomena related to decision making. During the second and third year of the programme, students focus on their own research under the supervision of one or more faculty members and participate in seminars and reading groups in their field of interest. See the training activities webpage for the complete list of courses. The programme strongly encourages students to spend part of their PhD period abroad and supports them in gaining international experience. The central goal of the programme is to create independent researchers, who can then pursue an academic career in leading universities or obtain research positions in private firms or international organizations. At the end of the third year, students submit their PhD dissertation, which is usually made of three research papers. The PhD courses in the next academic year will start in November 2026. Admission requirements The selection procedure is open to candidates who hold a master’s degree (Laurea Magistrale) or a 4-year Degree previous to the Ministerial Decree no. 509/1999 (Laurea quadriennale vecchio ordinamento), or equivalent academic title (master’s degree) obtained abroad, without age or citizenship restrictions. Graduands may conditionally access the selection procedure, provided that they obtain the required admission qualification by 31 October 2026, under penalty of exclusion in case of positive outcome of the selection procedure.
