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.

They interact in a multidisciplinary environment with International students and professors and dedicated international mobility exchange opportunities. PROGRAMME CONTENT Learning activities are organized according to the following plan for 120 ECTS credits in total. The first semester is aimed at acquiring fundamentals of economics, management, law, policy design and evaluation, and research methods relevant to the health care sector. Second and third semesters are devoted to the development of advanced and specialized skills to address current issues in health care sector. The fourth semester is mainly dedicated to the preparation of the dissertation. Further specialization can be gained by an internship in prominent companies and organizations. Moreover, our prospective students can spend one or two semesters studying abroad. LEARNING OUTCOMES The prospective candidate will develop: knowledge of key options in the policy, planning and financing of health care services; ability to use disciplines required in formulating, implementing and evaluating strategic choices in health care; understanding of the diversity of international health policies; practical experience in managerial issues; strong quantitative skills and the ability to apply them in a problem-solving context; communication and co-operation skills.

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.
