Boris Vujčić Appointed Vice-President of the European Central Bank
type: NewsArticle
title: Boris Vujčić Appointed Vice-President of the European Central Bank
description: The European Council has announced the appointment of Vujčić, a prominent Croatian economist and currently the Governor of the Croatian National Bank, for a non-renewable term of eight years, commencing on June 1, 2026. Vujčić succeeds Luis de Guindos in this crucial role. This decision comes after consultation with the European Parliament and the ECB's Governing Council. The Eurogroup endorsed Mr. Vujčić’s candidacy back on January 19, 2026, and the Council formally adopted a recommendation for his appointment shortly thereafter on January 26, 2026. Appointments to the ECB executive board are conducted by the European Council, relying on a qualified majority. The board members are selected based on their recognized standing and professional experience in monetary or banking matters. The ECB executive board, responsible for executing the eurozone's monetary policy as dictated by the Governing Council, comprises the President, Vice-President, and four additional members, one of whom is designated as the Chief Economist. All members are appointed for eight-year terms without the possibility of renewal. The board members collaborate with the governors of the national central banks within the eurozone to manage monetary policy. Vujčić’s background includes significant experience in monetary policy, making him a competent fit for this pivotal position at the ECB during a critical time for the eurozone's economy. He was a leading figure in the planning and implementation of Croatia's own accession to the Euro currency. The appointment is interesting, not least because Croatia only joined the Eurozone in 2023, and has only been a member of the EU since 2013. The appointment sets a tone for new members stepping up to take on more significant positions within the bloc. It is not unprecedented that smaller EU countries are represented on the ECB Board, or even among the three big positions of President, Vice President and Chief Economist. Indeed, currently the Chief Economist…

New Economics Books - Q1 2026

title: New Economics Books - Q1 2026
description: The Future of Work in Developing Countries Edited by: Akbar Noman, Joseph E. Stiglitz, Arjun Jayadev Part of the series: "Initiative for Policy Dialogue at Columbia: Challenges in Development and Globalization" Published: March 6, 2026 Description: One of the most pressing issues in development today is the employment challenge in low- and middle-income countries. As more young people enter the labor force―and as structural transformation unfolds amid deindustrialization, technological disruption, and global competition―the question of how to create sufficient decent jobs has become central to the economic future of the Global South. Although this is a shared challenge across developing regions, it is particularly acute in Africa, where rapid demographic change and urbanization are colliding with limited industrial expansion. Bringing together leading international scholars, The Future of Work in Developing Countries examines the employment problem from multiple perspectives. By combining rigorous theoretical analysis with grounded empirical research, this book demonstrates that employment creation is not an automatic byproduct of growth but a political and institutional project. It offers fresh insights for scholars of development, political economy, and economic history, as well as for policy makers seeking strategies to promote inclusive transformation in Africa and beyond. Ladder or Lottery: Economic Promises and the Reality of Who Gets Ahead by Gary A. Hoover Published: February 17, 2026 Description: This book asks the reader a simple question: Is our economy a ladder or a lottery? Are people able to control their position on the economic spectrum by their actions? Some argue that, in our market-based economy, if you play by certain rules and make certain choices, you'll achieve upward mobility no matter what economic position you were born into. Drawing on his vast economic expertise, prominent economist Gary A. Hoover explores what this "social contract" requ…

PhD student position in Operations Management — KU Leuven
type: JobPosting
title: PhD student position in Operations Management — KU Leuven
description: PhD student position in Operations Management — KU Leuven (ref. BAP-2026-224) Laatst aangepast: 02/04/26 The Research Centre for Operations Management, Faculty of Economics and Business, KU Leuven (Belgium) has a vacancy for a PhD student position at the intersection of Operations Research and Supply Chain Management. We are looking for a full-time PhD student to do research on supply chain visibility and network resilience, under the supervision of profs. Jannik Matuschke, Erik Demeulemeester, and Maximiliano Udenio. Project Global supply chains are large, complex networks that are typically opaque even to the firms that operate within them. A firm generally has visibility only to its direct (tier-1) suppliers and, at best, a small fraction of its tier-2 suppliers. However, empirical supply networks routinely span 10 to 15 tiers. This lack of visibility creates significant vulnerability: firms cannot anticipate, prepare for, or respond to disruptions that originate deep in their upstream network. This PhD project aims to develop a formal framework for supply chain visibility and resilience using tools from Operations Research and Operations Management, such as network theory, combinatorial optimization, and econometrics. The project pursues three interrelated aims: first, to characterize how network structure affects the cost and robustness of supply chain visibility; second, to study what actions a focal firm can take within its local sphere of influence to improve its resilience, including the design of its sourcing strategy; and third, to validate the theoretical framework empirically using real-world supply chain network data. Results of the research will be communicated through top-level publications in operations research and operations management journals, and through presentations at international conferences. Although the focus is on research, the candidate can be asked to give guidance to Master’s students, to be involved in teaching, and to supervise and…

Discovering Graduate Economics Through a Summer School
type: Article
title: Discovering Graduate Economics Through a Summer School
description: In 2024 and 2025, two undergraduates, Ellen Lac (University of Edinburgh) and Jem Grimley (University of Warwick), attended the Fundamentals of Graduate Economics & Finance summer school run by the University of Oxford’s Department of Economics. Here is what they found most valuable.

disambiguating description: If you are an undergraduate student of economics, the prospect of a Master’s, MRes or PhD can feel hard to picture. You might be wondering what the pace is like, how mathematical the first term really is, and what “graduate-level” expectations look like day to day. One practical way to find out is to take part in a summer school designed specifically as a bridge into postgraduate study. These courses introduce more advanced methods than most undergraduate programmes cover in depth, and they help you identify what to strengthen before you apply.

title: DFG Graduate Program Collective Decision-Making
description: The graduate program "Collective Decision-Making" offers very attractive conditions for undertaking doctoral research on a topic of major significance for democratic societies: decision-making by a group of individuals. Despite the significant role of collective decision-making, its study is generally considered a specialist sub-field of economic, social and behavioral sciences and insights into its workings are hardly ever shared across different disciplines. The graduate program aims to work towards unifying a fragmented field and at the same time generating new impetus for research in this area by integrating separate strands of theoretical and empirical research and methods in economics, philosophy and political science. We are searching for excellently qualified and highly motivated young researchers who are interested in pushing the boundaries of knowledge. As a member of the graduate program you will be undertakng research at the University of Hamburg, one of Germany's top 10 universities.

2025 Royal Economic Society Prize Winners Announced - Perino, Ritz and van Benthem on Climate Policy
type: NewsArticle
title: 2025 Royal Economic Society Prize Winners Announced - Perino, Ritz and van Benthem on Climate Policy
description: The Royal Economic Society (RES) has <a href="https://The Royal Economic Society (RES) has announced that the 2025 Royal Economic Society Prize will be awarded to Grischa Perino, Robert Ritz, and Arthur van Benthem for their article titled ‘Overlapping Climate Policies’, published in the October 2025 issue of The Economic Journal. The award recognizes the authors' framework, which examines how unilateral jurisdictional policies, such as coal phase-outs or renewable energy supports, interact with broader multi-jurisdictional systems like the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS). The committee emphasized the analysis's relevance to current climate policy debates, highlighting its potential as a tool for policymakers to measure climate effectiveness. In their joint statement, the winners expressed their hopes that their research will serve as an essential resource as global policymakers develop effective climate portfolios. They stated, "Our paper offers a unified framework to study the interaction between several climate policies targeted on the same emitters. Seemingly minor details can make all the difference for whether the policy mix is effective at cutting emissions." They further expressed their gratitude for receiving the RES Prize. Grischa Perino is professor for environmental economics at the University of Hamburg and the managing director of the Earth & Society Research Hub (ESRAH). His research interests include several areas in environmental, climate and applied micro-economics. He is an expert on carbon market design - in particular the Market Stability Reserve in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) - and has advised the European Commission, the German Ministry for Economic Affairs, and the German Environment Agency. Find out more on his faculty webpage or his personal site. Robert Ritz is a fellow and lecturer at Peterhouse College, University of Cambridge.

Islamic finance offers a value-based alternative by emphasizing transparency, ethical business conduct, sustainability, and social responsibility. The North American Conference on Islamic Finance (NACIF) serves as a platform to explore these principles and their practical applications, fostering a financial ecosystem that is equitable, stable, and aligned with societal well-being.

How AI is Re-shaping Economics Postgraduate Education - An Insider View from a Current PhD Student
type: Article
title: How AI is Re-shaping Economics Postgraduate Education - An Insider View from a Current PhD Student
description: Below I present three main reasons why it is becoming increasingly difficult to imagine postgraduate education without the use of AI. Whether you’re a student or a lecturer, knowing how to use AI effectively — or just being aware of how students are already making use of it — will help you succeed. 1) AI offers better searches for niche information Many of the common AI models can be used as a search tool, making them the first truly new innovation enabling Internet searches since the emergence of sites like Yahoo! and Ask.com - and of course google - in the second half of the 1990s. This search feature makes it a great study and research partner, beyond what a typical user can accomplish with a search engine. One of the weaknesses of traditional search engines is that it can be hard to find the specific information you need, especially if you’re searching for something niche, or if the language used for that topic is generic. For example, consider a scenario where your favorite bakery is a small mom-and-pop shop named “Croissant”. Or, for a more economics-relevant example, consider searching for content about the inverse elasticity of substitution in (specifically) the neoclassical growth model. In both cases, it can be extremely difficult to find the right information you need. In the first case it’s hard to craft a good search with such limited language, since “croissant” will return far too many irrelevant results. And in the latter case, the need to be extremely specific (thus using so many words) means that a traditional search will end up getting lots of irrelevant content as well. Even using advanced search functions might be ineffective, or at least time-consuming. But AI has the ability to sidestep a lot of these problems. That’s partly because if an LLM answers with something you weren’t looking for, you can just tell it that, and it will pivot to your intended meaning instead. This makes LLMs ideal tools to begin a search for esoteric information — altho…
disambiguating description: We all know that AI models are becoming increasingly commonplace, with hundreds of software companies now offering AI-powered tools, and dozens of iterations of ChatGPT and similar LLMs popping up every year. While some bemoan AI tools, they’ve also been lauded as powerful and helpful tools that we ought to be using every day. Regardless of where you stand on the AI-usage spectrum, one thing is certain: AI models are reshaping education, even at the highest levels. Economics is no exception. Even for PhD students like me, AI tools are becoming a feature of student life — and when used smartly, can be a great asset to learning.

Master of Science in Econometrics
type: EducationalOccupationalProgram
title: Master of Science in Econometrics
description: The program is offered jointly by the faculties of economics of the three universities and the Department of Statistics at TU Dortmund University. This unique combination of training and research skills allows for offering a specialized curriculum for research-oriented students who are interested in deeply understanding and further developing econometric methods for empirical economic research. As this requires rigorous training in mathematics and statistics, the focus on these subjects is bigger than for typical degree programs in economics. About the Master’s Program in Econometrics Econometrics is a branch of economics that deals with the quantitative analysis of economic relationships using mathematics and inferential statistics. Econometric methods are used in many areas of economic research and constitute the basis for empirical applications in many fields such as labor economics and finance. Furthermore, the application of econometrics becomes increasingly important for decision support in companies, governments, financial institutions, and other organizations. While quantitative methods are frequently used in applied research, many economists are not taught the mathematical background necessary to fully grasp the underlying concepts, let alone further develop such techniques. To fill this gap and to respond to the growing demand for highly qualified professionals, the master’s program in Econometrics aims to provide students with both extensive methodological knowledge and an in-depth understanding of central causal economic relationships and resulting econometric issues. Graduates receive a joint MSc degree from the three participating universities. Program Structure The program comprises compulsory modules, elective courses, and a master's thesis. In the four compulsory modules, students receive rigorous training in statistics, econometrics, and time series analysis. The core curriculum also conveys skills in applied research, statistical programming, rese…
