Meyer-Struckmann Scholarship for Scholars from Eastern and Southern Europe
The Meyer-Struckmann Scholarship is intended for an economist from Eastern or Southern Europe who is no longer at the very beginning of their academic career but has already reached an advanced stage. The scholarship will commence in April 2025 and will last for two years. It will enable the recipient to join DICE and establish a research collaboration in one of DICE's areas of research. The scholar will receive a monthly grant of EUR 3,500 from the Meyer-Struckmann Foundation and will be provided with a workspace at DICE and access to the infrastructure necessary. Background DICE is Germany's leading academic centre for competition economics. In Europe, it ranks among the top three institutions in the field, alongside Toulouse (Toulouse School of Economics) and the Centre for Competition Policy (CCP) at the University of East Anglia. As a result, DICE is a sought-after host for visiting researchers. While researchers from Western Europe and North America typically have access to funding for research stays abroad, this is significantly less the case for scholars from Eastern and Southern Europe. However, there is a strong academic interest in competition policy in these regions—one of the European Union’s most important policy fields—along with the desire to establish academic connections with Western Europe. The scholarship aims to bridge this gap for economists who play a multiplier role in their home countries. Application The selection of the scholar will be made by the DICE Board (www.dice.hhu.de) and the Scholarship Committee of the Faculty of Business and Economics (https://www.wiwi.hhu.de/struktur/kommissionen/stipendienkommission). Please submit your application by 28 February 2025 to Dr Michael Coenen (coenen(at)dice.hhu.de).
In 2025, the Düsseldorf Institute for Competition Economics (DICE, www.dice.hhu.de) will award a scholarship funded by the Meyer-Struckmann Foundation to scholars from Eastern and Southern Europe.

National Bank of Slovakia Visiting Researcher Programme
Candidates may pursue their own proposed research project upon agreement with the National Bank of Slovakia. We expect the project to be undertaken in close collaboration with our staff members. Alternatively, candidates may opt for one of the following areas: Topic 1: Transmission of monetary policy: bank-firm channel analysis using granular data The primary objective is to investigate and quantitatively evaluate how specific characteristics of firms and banks affect the pass-through of monetary policy. We aim to utilize loan-level data from the credit registry, enriched with detailed financial reports from individual banks and firms. The country coverage may vary depending on the final scope of the project. While the primary focus will be on the transmission of monetary policy, we may also consider the interaction of monetary policy with macroprudential or other policies or shocks. The ideal candidate is expected to have expertise in monetary policy transmission and strong methodological skills. We are seeking a candidate with willingness to work closely with the NBS staff. Please note that access to confidential data is restricted to NBS staff; collaborative arrangements will be facilitated as required. Topic 2: Macroeconomic and inflation expectations of professional forecasters Since 2007, the National Bank of Slovakia has been compiling monthly macroeconomic forecasts from Slovak professional forecasters. An analysis comparing the forecast errors of these professional forecasters with the National Bank's official forecasts reveals that, while professional forecasters predict GDP growth with comparable accuracy to the central bank, their inflation forecasts are significantly less accurate. We invite applications for a visiting researcher position connected to this project. The ideal candidate will have expertise in the theoretical literature on macroeconomic expectations and will collaborate on elucidating the formation of inflation expectations among Slovak professional forecasters. The expected output of the program should take the form of NBS Working Paper, at the minimum.
We seek researchers who can complement and enhance our current projects. Candidates can propose their preferred topic within these research areas: Monetary Policy Transmission and Inflation Pass-Through Macroprudential Policy and Real Estate Structural Developments with a Focus on Micro-Data Economic and Financial Effects of Climate Change and Mitigation Policies We also encourage applications from early-career academics for to apply as Junior Visiting Researchers. You'll receive dedicated support from our team while working on these engaging topics.
