IPPS-Iscte Launches Atlas of Portugal in Europe Platform
The platform is accessible and free to use, and serves as a vital resource for exploring socio-economic indicators across Europe. The launch was announced by ISCTE. The Atlas provides a comprehensive collection of data allowing users to consult, compare, and analyze various indicators concerning demographic changes, labor markets, inequality, social protection, health, education, housing, justice, environment, and mobility. Isabel Flores, the executive director of IPPS-Iscte, describes the platform as an "analytical tool with a point of view" that enables comparative analysis of Portugal against other European countries as well as the average EU statistics. The platform, which has been developed in partnership with Colabor, categorizes indicators into three main sections, facilitating country-to-country comparisons and providing insights into electoral results from 1986 to the present across the entire European continent. According to Flores, the platform stands out from more neutral data portals by offering a structured perspective. This initiative not only highlights Portugal's journey within the EU but also serves as a valuable tool for public analysis, electoral observation, and formulating effective public policies. To explore the Atlas of Portugal in Europe, visit: Atlas of Portugal.

Call for Expressions of Interest – Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships
The Department of Economics at the University of Verona welcomes expressions of interest from researchers wishing to apply for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship, hosted by the University of Verona, on the topics outlined below. The University of Verona is a dynamic and internationally oriented institution. Its Department of Economics has been awarded the “Department of Excellence 2023–2027” seal by the Italian Ministry of University and Research and offers a stimulating research environment across economics, econometrics, statistics, mathematics, and related fields. Interested candidates are invited to send a brief outline of their research proposal and their CV to ricerca@dse.univr.it by 24 June 2026. For further information on eligibility rules and the application process, candidates should consult the official Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships page. Before sending a proposal, please make sure you have carefully checked the eligibility criteria for the MSCA programme. --- RESEARCH TOPICS: --- Area: Behavioral Economics Supervisor: Marco Piovesan Title: The Development of Risk, Time, and Social Preferences in Childhood and Adolescence Description: This topic examines how risk, time, and social preferences develop during childhood and adolescence. These preferences play a central role in individual decision-making and are associated with important outcomes in education, health, cooperation, and future economic behavior. The topic will study how children and adolescents make decisions involving uncertainty, delayed rewards, and social trade-offs, and how these preferences evolve with age, cognitive development, family background, peer interactions, and school environment. Particular attention will be devoted to experimental and lab-in-the-field methods, including incentivized tasks designed for young participants. The topic may also investigate whether early behavioral traits predict later educational choices, academic performance, and social behavior. More broadly, the proposal aims to contribute to three main research objectives: understanding the development of risk, time, and social preferences; examining their relationship with cognitive abilities, socio-demographic characteristics, and educational outcomes; and assessing how experimental evidence on children’s and adolescents’ preferences can inform educational and social policies. --- Area: Macroeconomics Supervisor: Alessia Campolmi Title: Macroeconomic Policy, International Trade, and Global Challenges Description: This research area welcomes projects in macroeconomics, international economics, and international trade, broadly defined. Possible topics include monetary and fiscal policy, macro-labor dynamics, international trade, trade policy, and the interaction between trade and climate policies. --- Area: Economics of conflict Supervisor: Roberto Ricciuti Title: The Social and Economic Effects of Drones in Contemporary Conflict Description: This topic investigates the social and economic consequences of drones in contemporary armed conflict. While drones are often assessed in terms of precision, tactical effectiveness, and reduced risk for the attacking side, their broader effects on affected communities remain less well understood. The topic will focus on second-order consequences of drone warfare, including displacement, disruption of local economic activity, changes in civilian mobility, psychological costs, political attitudes, and potential backlash through radicalization or increased support for armed groups. From an economic perspective, drones can be understood as a technology that changes both the cost of violence and the spatial distribution of insecurity. The central research question is whether drone warfare reduces the overall social cost of conflict or instead transforms it by shifting costs onto civilian populations and local economies. The project is open to empirical, theoretical, and mixed-method approaches, and is particularly suited to candidates working at the intersection of conflict economics, political economy, development economics, and applied microeconomics.

Bonn–Oxford–European Commission Macro Workshop: Uneven Impacts of Geoeconomic Shifts
Date: 3 Dec 2026 - 4 Dec 2026 Location: Brussels, European Commission Contact: EC-Bonn-Oxford-MacroWorkshop-2026@ec.europa.eu Workshop Overview Theme: Geoeconomic fragmentation, trade policies, global imbalances, and shifts in energy markets affect economies in uneven ways, with important implications for Europe. This workshop brings together researchers and policymakers to examine how macroeconomic models and data with sectoral and household heterogeneity can better capture the propagation of such shocks across industries, countries, and income groups, as well as their interaction with policy. The objective is to assess how frontier research with explicit heterogeneity can strengthen policy analysis along these dimensions. We invite submissions of high-quality papers addressing these themes, including (but not limited to): geoeconomic fragmentation and trade, energy price shocks, economic security, global imbalances, heterogeneous-agent macro models, European integration, sectoral reallocation, and policy design in an open economy context. Due to limited presentation slots, only a small number of papers will be selected. Yan Bai (U of Rochester, CUHK, CEPR), Diego Perez (NYU) and Elisa Rubbo (U of Chicago) have confirmed their participation. We are looking forward to your submissions! Submission details Please submit full papers or extended abstracts by 30 June 2026 via our submission platform. Authors of accepted papers will be notified by 21 July 2026. Logistics The workshop will take place in Brussels at the European Commission over two half days (3-4 December 2026). Travel and accommodation costs will be covered for presenters from academic institutions; funding for other participants can be considered on a case-by-case basis. Organisers Christian Bayer (U of Bonn, CEPR), Olga Croitorov (EC, DG ECFIN), Julia Le Blanc (EC JRC, CPER), Philipp Pfeiffer (EC, DG ECFIN), Marco Ratto (EC, JRC), Federica Romei (U of Oxford, CEPR)
