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.

About the Master’s Programme Health Economics This research-oriented programme addresses some of the most significant challenges facing modern societies across the globe: the causes of population ageing and its consequences for different sectors of the economy; socioeconomic inequality in health and the interplay between health, education, and labour market outcomes; the funding of health care and how the reimbursement of health care providers affects their incentives to provide care on equitable grounds. The programme provides students with solid training in applied micro-econometric methods, enabling them to assess empirical work and gain first-hand experience in conducting empirical research. It is embedded in a dynamic academic environment firmly integrated into the international health economics research community. Notably, the Faculty is home to CINCH, a national research centre for health economics, which has developed into a prominent European hub for health economics research over the past 15 years. Students in this programme have access to numerous academic activities, such as a weekly research seminar on health economics, the Essen Health Conference--a leading international conference for applied research in health economics--and the annual CINCH-dggö academy for graduate students from around the world. Programme Structure The M.Sc. Health Economics programme is structured to provide a well-rounded and in-depth education through a blend of compulsory modules, elective courses, seminars, and a master’s thesis. The programme starts with five compulsory courses totalling 30 ECTS, including pivotal courses like Health Economics I and II, and Micro-econometrics. These core modules are designed to equip students with a robust foundation in the current state of the art, ensuring they have the necessary tools to understand and analyse complex health economic issues. The program also includes a compulsory seminar module (6 ECTS), where students explore specific topics like Health & Development, Pandemics, or Health & Labour, enhancing their writing and presentation skills. Beyond the compulsory modules, students can personalise their curriculum by selecting nine elective courses (54 ECTS) from a menu covering a wide array of topics. This flexibility allows students to specialise in areas of interest and gain expertise in specific domains. The culmination of the program is the master’s thesis (30 ECTS), which requires students to complete a significant research project, demonstrating their ability to independently address complex health economics issues using advanced empirical methods. Career Prospects This programme offers an excellent pathway for students interested in pursuing doctoral studies in applied microeconomics. It also prepares them for positions in international organizations such as the WHO, EU institutions, government agencies, or the private sector. In all these potential career paths, graduates benefit immensely from their analytical skills, knowledge of economic theory, applied empirical work, and data science methods. Environment The academic environment of the M.Sc. Health Economics programme is enriched by its association with CINCH, the national research centre for health economics located in Essen. Founded in 2012, CINCH is focused on three key research themes: Health as Human Capital Health Insurance as a Social Protection Mechanism The Healthcare Sector as a System. The centre's work aims to influence policy and uphold high academic standards, fostering a dynamic and stimulating academic atmosphere. Students benefit from a learning environment closely connected to global research communities and local and international partner organizations. The program offers numerous academic and professional development opportunities. The weekly Health Economics Seminar series, in collaboration with the RWI-Essen Institute, features researchers from around the world, facilitating continuous academic dialogue. The annual Essen Health Conference provides a platform for presenting research and networking with experts globally. A DAAD Guest Professorship programme brings international researchers to the faculty, enriching the academic environment. An active international fellowship program and strong ties with the University Alliance Ruhr and the Ruhr Graduate School in Economics further enhance the program, providing students with collaboration, mentorship, and professional growth opportunities.
