Game Theory: Links and Resources
type: Article
title: Game Theory: Links and Resources
description: 1. “Game Theory 101 MOOC” by ‪William Spaniel with videos no more than ten minutes in length on all the important aspects of this discipline. These online lectures can serve as a very good introduction. 2. “What is Game Theory?” by David K. Levine, Department of Economics, UCLA provides definitions of basic concepts and supplies reviews of Game Theory texts. 3. A very useful set of flash cards with key definitions used in Game Theory. 4. “Game Theory II” (a little more advanced than the first course for beginners) started on Coursera on 13 January. Offered by professors from Stanford University and the University of British Columbia, it covers such topics as Mechanism Design and Auctions. 5. Modern game theory dates back to 1944, when John von Neumann published his “Theory of Games and Economic Behavior”, but Prof. Chwe from University of California, Los Angeles believes “Jane Austen Had It First” 6. The video in Greg Mankiw’s blog post “An Exercise in Game Theory” shows an unexpected real-life application of the Prisoners’ dilemma. 7. Another real-world application is depicted in the post “Game theory works for football tournaments“ by VOX. For those already on a more advanced level looking to share their knowledge with the world of microeconomists we can recommend checking out the following conferences: 1. Industrial Organization: Theory, Empirics and Experiments organized by the University of Salento (Italy) 2. Auctions, Competition, Regulation, and Public Policy organized by the Management School at Lancaster University (UK) 3. Norms, Actions, Games (NAG 2014) organised at the University of Nottingham (UK) 4. Risk Theory Society 2014 Meeting held at Ludwig-Maximilians University (Germany)
disambiguating description: There are a number of disciplines one cannot avoid when purusing a degree in economics. In earlier articles we have looked at resources for econometrics, statistics and other quantitative subjects, so now it is high time to cover fields related to microeconomics. Below we have gathered a list of useful links and resources for those interested in game theory – the starting point for students focusing on auctions, organization theory, strategic management and so on.

disambiguating description: The annual American Economic Association Meeting is a well-known event bringing together some of the brightest minds in economics and probably counting as one of the largest gatherings of young academics in one place. Here at INOMICS we are delighted to have been a part of this annual gathering for the second year in a row, as besides attendance of exceptional academic sessions, it is also a rare opportunity to meet and greet our users and readers personally.

title: What Economists Are REALLY Interested In: Readers’ Favorites 2013
description: Naturally, some topics proved to be especially popular among our readers: in this post we would like to share with you the most read posts on the INOMICS blog in 2013 and hence evidence of which topics really move economists! 1. Most economists seem to be wondering How Much Econ Professors Earn and want to know exact salaries by country, including Salaries for Economists in Latin America. 2. The popularity of Top Economics Summer Schools 2013 proves that economists are really keen on learning, especially when a course is short and takes place next to the seaside. 3. The surprising popularity of Would You Date an Economist maybe raises some concerns about truly important matters for economists. 4. Quite predictable given the spark in popularity of MOOCs, Free Online Courses in Econometrics, Mathematics, Statistics & Data Analysis and Top YouTube Channels to Learn Econometrics & Economics were the top shared posts in 2013. 5. Economists really want to know what the Top Economics Blogs out there are, but before diving into these kinds of lists, it can make sense to understand how and by whom the top economics blogs are determined. 6. It is not just Economics Blogs, however, where economists search for excellence. University Rankings for Economics and Econ Department Directories together with the lists of the Top Econ Departments in Latin America, Europe and Asia sparked a discussion about different methodologies of existing rankings systems. 7. Interest in deepening the knowledge of econometrics is obvious, given the number of readers of Introduction to Econometrics and Econometrics Conferences 2014 8. Young economists, who are just now deciding the course of their career, made an extraordinary amount of visits to the articles: Should You Get a PhD in Economics? Links and Resources and MBA vs PhD in Economics 9. Those who are mentoring students themselves already, are very keen to find out How to Teach Economics 10. Chinese PhDs vs US PhDs, a post that reveals a skyroc…

Courses, Workshops & Conferences 2014: Should You Advertise During the Christmas Break?
type: Article
title: Courses, Workshops & Conferences 2014: Should You Advertise During the Christmas Break?
description: Our customers often ask us “When is a good time to advertise?” and “Does it make sense to advertise during festive seasons?” we gathered a list of arguments for you to help you decide why Christmas break can, in fact, be the right season for you to start promoting your Courses, Workshops and Conferences for the upcoming year. 1. The Geo-Factor matters. Most of the courses and conferences advertised on INOMICS target an international audience. In fact, many advertisers target specific regions. If in your home country Christmas is considered to be “dead season”, in many others it might not even be a public holiday. Good examples include Russia, where Christmas is celebrated only on 07 January, or China, where only 01 January is an official public holiday. 2. Grasping participants’ attention is easier. As a large number of organizations will still close their operations for the festive season, the amount of advertisements during the period will be naturally lower. For those who will nevertheless opt for putting their announcements online it will ultimately mean less competition for the attention of applicants. 3. Get more and better access to personal social media networks. One of the main sources of applicants for our customers is the INOMICS social media network, which reaches out to over 200,000 users through the personal social networks of our followers. With less activity form other institutions, and hence less competition for the display space, the chance to be shown on the maximum number of users’ networks increases significantly. 4. Give seekers more time before the deadline. The longer you postpone a full-force promotion for your courses and events, waiting for the optimal time, the less time is left before the deadline. Less time to prepare for applications can, unfortunately, scare off qualified participants, who give preference to planning ahead. 5. Seekers have more free time. For many busy and ambitious people, into which category most academics fall, the…
disambiguating description: The Christmas break is approaching and all university departments are getting busy finalizing their end-of-year work. For busy marketers and conference organizers a Christmas break might seem not to be the best time of the year to promote their courses and conferences to a wider audience. However, our experience at INOMICS confirms that it is not exactly true. Of course, much depends on your target audience: but while for many December 25th will be almost certainly dedicated to family commitments, for many the days before and after Christmas represent one of the few times of the year that they can actually spend searching more deeply for information in their field of interest, especially with regard to extra training and conferences.

International Economics Job Market Candidates – what do they look for?
type: Article
title: International Economics Job Market Candidates – what do they look for?
description: Qualified job candidates in different regional markets have different preferences and priorities when choosing a new job, and understanding these differences can be valuable for a recruiter, especially for those targeting both international and domestic audiences. With the high season for interviews for academic positions around the corner, we thought it timely to share some insights about candidates’ preferences in the job market, which are based on the findings from the INOMICS regional reports released earlier this year. Even though certain trends were distinct worldwide, some obvious differences still prevailed. Thus, in all countries older applicants ranked the importance of long-term contracts and salary much higher than their younger colleagues. On the other hand, the importance of remuneration, reputation of the institution and time for conducting own research were not ranked equally across all the regions. Respondents to the INOMICS questionnaire were given a list of factors and asked to rate the importance of these when choosing a job. The factors were rated between 1 and for, where 4 meant extremely important, and 1 not important at all. Australia & New Zealand. Economists in Australia and New Zealand consider having time to conduct their own research (3.29 out of 4) to be of the greatest importance when choosing a job, followed by a friendly working environment (3.24 out of 4). Salary (3.07 out of 4) was rated the third among the priorities, which made Australia and New Zealand one of the few regions in the world where salary is among the top-3 priorities. At the same time candidates in this region tend to care the least about teaching opportunities (2.27 out of 4), extra benefits (2.04 out of 4) and job opportunities outside their home countries (1.85 out of 4). USA & Canada. Economists in North America (USA and Canada) had slightly different preferences than those in Australia and New Zealand. Thus, a friendly working environment (3.20 out of 4) was ra…
disambiguating description: Even though many (especially young and less experienced) job candidates attend interviews with an anticipation of being assessed, in reality the assessment always happens in both directions. And the more that a talented applicant has to offer, the pickier he or she can be when making a final decision.

Jobs for Economists in Australia: What Recruiters are Looking For?

title: Jobs for Economists in Australia: What Recruiters are Looking For?
description: Source: Economics Job Market Report 2013 (Australia) Australia is known for being an attractive destination for both students and professionals from all over the world. Relatively friendly immigration policies, demand for skilled professionals (the number of places in the immigration program almost doubled in the last 10 years), high salaries and a stable economy, especially in the light of the European crises, all contribute to an appeal of the Australian job market for highly skilled candidates. For academics, Australia is a particularly attractive destination too. As our latest research shows, Australia offers the highest salaries for Professors, not to mention extra benefits and lucrative living conditions. Moreover, the Australian job market is especially open for international applicants for economics professor positions: 0% of recruiters indicated that they would prefer a national candidate, and 30% said they would give preference to an international applicant, with 70% having no preference. However, the downside of attractive conditions is a fierce competition for the open positions. According to INOMICS Australia Econ job Market Report, the results of which were released yesterday on the INOMICS website, the number of applications for Professor positions at the mid-level is enormous, with 500 applications per position on average. Entry-Level jobs, however, as well as Full Professor positions have much less competition and receive 20 applications per position on average. It is important to note though that the survey was conducted during the “low season” for entry-level positions, which might explain such a comparatively low number of applications for PostDoc positions. So, what are the important characteristics recruiters are looking for in their candidates for academic economics positions in Australia? A relevant degree, as well as research experience, have the highest importance for recruiters when choosing a candidate for an academic position at a univer…

Communications skills of economists are valued higher than quantitative skills by recruiters The full report with detailed findings and empirical evidence is available for free download here: http://www.inomics.com/reports The focus of the report is on the academic job market with the majority of respondents representing universities, research institutes or think tanks and possessing high academic qualifications. Other findings include salary breakdowns by countries, positions and seniority, skills and specializations most in demand, candidates’ preferences, types of selection process and geographical factors. Later this year, regional reports for the following regions and countries will be published: North America (United States & Canada), Australia & New Zealand, UK, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Latin America.
disambiguating description: The Report is based on a survey between April and June 2013, in which 2,380 professionals and recruiters in the academic job market for economists answered questions about salaries, international professional mobility, the value of different levels of academic degree, and other issues related to economics and finance careers.

Salaries of Economists in Latin America: Where Do Economists Earn the Most?
type: Article
title: Salaries of Economists in Latin America: Where Do Economists Earn the Most?
description: The decision to move to a new country requires detailed information to justify such a drastic life change, where potential income level plays a central role. For economists who are considering work in a different country in Latin America or just for professionals interested in labor mobility, we have compiled a brief regional comparison of wages by academic degree for Latin American economists in academic jobs. This short summary is based on our latest report. As is seen in the global trend, the graph above indicates that income level of economists rises as they advance in their professional development. Generally economists with doctoral degrees have better chances of achieving high salary ranges, with the exception of Mexico, where salaries of PhD holders were reported not to exceed those of Master’s holders. Brazil can be identified as the country that offers the best salaries in the region. Analysts, economists and researchers with a PhD title in Brazil receive salaries up to 30% greater than those professions in countries such as Argentina, Colombia and Mexico. However, in the case of professionals with Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, Mexico achieves equal salaries or surpasses the offers made by Brazil. Please note: the wages shown in the graph are not adjusted to real income; the cost of living is not included in the analysis, so it is important to consider other factors in further judgements. To see a detailed methodology and profile of the respondents, please see the Economics Job Market Report 2013 (Latin America), which is available for free download. The report contains valuable information about wages, employment preferences, international mobility and education, the value of academic qualifications and work experience when looking for a new job, and other matters related to professional development.
disambiguating description: As previously mentioned in our articles about Spanish professionals moving to South America and Brazil as a new destination for skilled migration, Latin America is becoming ever more attractive in terms of professional development for people from all over the world. Latin American migration trends are undoubtedly connected to demographic and economic indicators for the region. In some cases, countries like Brazil stand out thanks to promising conditions for foreign employees, or increasing living standards and wages for the higher-educated workforce.

How Much Econ Professors Earn? Salaries in Academia by Country
type: Article
title: How Much Econ Professors Earn? Salaries in Academia by Country
description: Even though salary was not mentioned by economists among the top factors for a job choice, potential earnings do inevitably affect decisions about future career paths. More than that, given the high mobility of the academic job market, where institutions compete for top talent globally, it is natural for candidates to weight their financial gains before relocating to a different country. The highest salaries were reported by Economics Professors who are employed in universities in Australia & New Zealand (105,000 $US on average), followed by US-based Professors (102,000 $US on average). In Europe, UK Professors earn the most, whereas wages in Italian Universities are on average 40% lower than their British counterparts. The numbers presented in the graph above represent the average income of Full Professors from a given country, based on the responses from our survey, without any adjustments. Of course, when comparing salaries in different countries, a lot of factors should be taken into consideration, including living costs, social security and salary differentials. Nevertheless, these numbers serve as a fair indication of the wage level for academics in each given country. In the following weeks INOMICS will release a series of Regional Economics Job Market Reports, which will include more detailed information about salaries for different positions and career levels. You can subscribe to receive a notification when reports are released on INOMICS. Information in the graphs is based on the Economics Job Market Report 2013 (Worldwide Overview). To see more information about methodology download the full report here.
disambiguating description: Yesterday INOMICS released the Economics Job Market Report 2013 (Worldwide Overview). The report contains insights about the academic job market, compiled from answers from almost 2,500 economists and recruiters from all over the world who completed a survey earlier this year. The findings of the report include salaries, recruiters’ and candidates’ employment preferences, regional disparities, skills & specializations most in demand and other general trends in the economics job market.

Everything You Need to Know on How to Apply to a Summer School

title: Everything You Need to Know on How to Apply to a Summer School
description: Perhaps you’re unsure of how to choose a program that’s right for you, or more importantly, how to get into a summer school at all. In order to keep the application process from being another item on your list of winter woes, we’ve put together a basic guide on how to apply for summer schools in either economics and finance or business and management. Here are some key things to consider: 1. Timing Courses taking place earlier in the summer often have correspondingly earlier application deadlines, so think about when is best for you and scan through offers that work with your schedule. 2. Specialization What are you hoping to get out of summer school? If you know precisely which course/s you need, then searching for a program based on its strengths in that area is your best option. As you peruse possible schools, you will notice a wide range of offerings, from advanced modeling to chinese economy to economics education. Knowing where you’d like to focus will help you find the best fit for you, and making your motivation clear in your application will help secure your spot. 3. Location and reputation If you’re not looking for a specific course but rather a boost to your CV or your academic repertoire, choosing a program based on location or reputation might be more appropriate. If it’s a top school you’re seeking, a quick look through various rankings from around the world can help hone your list of choices. Be sure to plan ahead though, as programs at schools such as Harvard, LSE or Cambridge are guaranteed to fill up quickly. 4. Cost and funding When it comes to cost, summer schools often come with a hefty price tag. If your home institution can’t offer you funding, there are many possibilities for securing outside stipends. For North Americans, here’s a list of options put together by the American Economic Association. For those looking to take courses in Europe, the many scholarships offered through sources such as the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) or E…

How Economists [in Academia] Use Facebook
type: Article
title: How Economists [in Academia] Use Facebook
description: When Facebook started its rapid invasion into the everyday lives of millions of people all over the globe, the social network was often seen as a form of entertainment and a time-eater, rather than a potentially helpful tool for educational and professional purposes. However, over the past years this trend has changed: with new social networks popping up every year, users have started realizing the benefits of these digital tools, as have many professionals in academia. Last year we surveyed 340 economists, most of whom were employed in academia or doing advanced studies. We asked which social networks [not created specifically for academics] they prefer to use and for which purposes: Facebook proved to be used by the majority of economists (75 %), with 60 % of those respondents using it exclusively for personal purposes, and 40% for both private and professional purposes. However, watching the dynamics of users’ behavior on Facebook shows that there is a thin line between a professional and personal life online, especially for academics, where research interests occupy ones thoughts outside office hours too. To illustrate with a real-life case, drawing examples of users’ behavior from our company Facebook page: Currently, the INOMICS Facebook page has a growing pool of almost 8,000 fans. The majority of our followers are professionals and students in economics aged between 18 and 54 years old. As INOMICS conveys mostly professionally related information, if one assumes that Facebook is a social, non-professional platform, one wouldn’t expect much interaction from users. However, this is not the case. In fact, the reality shows the opposite: social media content is all about sharing. Within minutes of going online, conferences, jobs and courses get shared by the Facebook economics community, very often accompanied by comments and sometimes developing into topic-related discussions. Additionally, regional economics associations, research institutes and even professor…

Social Media for Conference Organizers: a Handbook
type: Article
title: Social Media for Conference Organizers: a Handbook
description: Here we would like to share several tips on the best use of social media by conference organizers. We believe that their use can contribute to the overall success of your event. Before the conference: - Set up a Twitter account and use it to tell future attendees about you news, including reminders about relevant deadlines - Use your twitter account to answer the questions of delegates – it will save you time dealing with emails later! - Set up a Google+ profile to be found on google and let participants follow your updates - Create a Facebook group for delegates to interact with each other, prior to the event - Similarly to Twitter, use your Facebook group for “customer” support – it will make it possible for delegates to see answers to the similar questions that they have - Use Quora to answer the most commonly asked questions and make it visible for all participants - Make a simple blog page (for example on Blogspot or Tumblr) to share important announcements. Make sure that interested professionals can subscribe and receive your updates in their inbox. - Use LinkedIn groups to share information about your conference During the conference: - Use a #hashtag for your conference on Twitter and encourage all participants to do so. It will make it easier for delegates to interact with each other or find tweets about your conference, and for organizers to answer questions and gather feedback - Use Twitter for live streaming of the conference events - Use Flickr, Pinterest or Instragram to share photos with participants and invite everyone to do the same. This will provide you with a source of valuable material for the promotion of future events. - Record key speeches and presentations using video and audio recordings when possible After the conference: - Gather and analyse feedback from participants on the social media channels that you used, including searching #hashtags on Twitter - Setup a YouTube profile and share videos of sessions and speakers - Share audio recor…
disambiguating description: For conference organizers, the benefits of a smart use of social media channels stretches far beyond just the promotion of their event. The challenge of tight budgets for (especially) academic events is well-known, and the process of building proper online platforms and hiring additional administrative staff is often difficult to afford. By allowing some strategic thought and investing a little time, however, social media can become an extremely cost- and time-effective way to build online presence, ease the registration process, communicate with participants, gather feedback, attract speakers and sponsors and collect and store digital materials for future use.

description: Due to the high level of interest from our readers, we decided to continue sharing information about the Top Economics Departments in individual countries, starting with Spain, which will hopefully be useful for students and economists who are interested in education, research or advancement of their academic career in a Spanish institution. The following list of universities is based on RePEc: No. Department/University Score 1 Barcelona Graduate School of Economics (Barcelona GSE) 1 2 Department of economics and business Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona Graduate School of Economics (Barcelona GSE) 2,38 3 Department of Economics, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid 4,07 4 Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitat de Barcelona 7,45 5 Department of Economics and Economic History Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Barcelona Graduate School of Economics (Barcelona GSE) 8,37 6 IESE Business School, Universidad de Navarra 9,55 7 Faculty of Economics, Universidad de València 10,08 8 Faculty of Economics and Management, Universidad del País Vasco – Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea 10,38 9 Faculty of Economics and Business, Universidad Complutense de Madrid 12,61 10 Faculty of Economics and Management, Universidade de Vigo 16 The Top 25% Institutions and Economists in Spain is part of the collection of rankings calculated from the RePEc database. The classification criteria are focused on the number of authors, citations and popularity ratings of the institutions in the database, with data updated monthly. This overview is not a 100% complete due to the limitation in the number of institutions belonging to RePEc. For this reason, we recommend comparing other lists of Spanish universities in addition. The I-UGR Rankings of Spanish Universities according to Scientific Disciplines present a list of public and private universities, based on research published in international journals of high impact and visibility.

Nobel Prize Winners in Economics 2013 and Their Work
type: Article
title: Nobel Prize Winners in Economics 2013 and Their Work
description: Fama proved that markets were only efficient in the short run and that share prices were very difficult to predict. That conclusion led to the development of stock-index funds, which reflect the assets market. Shiller found that markets’ short-term efficiency was less enduring over longer periods and that stock prices fluctuate much more than corporate dividends. His research also showed that investors can be irrational and that any assets, ranging from stocks to housing, can develop into bubbles. Hansen was working on questions about market predictability and developed the Generalized Method of Moments – an econometric/statistical tool to test theories on asset pricing that is applicable in different fields of economics and not just financial markets. All three economists examine asset pricing from different points of view and their conclusions could be said in many ways to be contrasting. The famous economist Robert Solow, who won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1987, said in his interview that this year’s Nobel laureates are “a very interesting collection because Fama is the founder of the efficient-market theory and Shiller at least is one of the critics of it… What it suggests is there really isn’t a settled doctrine” in finance. To read more about the research done by Fama, Hansen and Schiller check out “Trendspotting in asset markets” (popular science background by nobelprize.org). To remind yourself about last year’s winners have a look at our article about the Nobel Prize Winners in Economics in 2012: Alvin A. Roth, Lloyd S. Shapley, who were recognized for their work in the field of market design. Image Credit: Wikimedia

Jobs for Foreigners in Brazil: A New Destination for Skilled Migration?
type: Article
title: Jobs for Foreigners in Brazil: A New Destination for Skilled Migration?
description: Conversely, from the 1980s Brazilians from various economic levels started to emigrate to other countries in search of new economic opportunities and career development. High inflation, low economic growth, and unsuccessful economic policies were some of the main reasons why highly skilled Brazilians preferred to emigrate to countries where their income was significantly higher, despite in many cases a lower skill requirement for the job they ended up doing abroad. In recent years, due to the euro crisis and a reshaping of the world economy, together with other emerging economies Brazil has been increasingly seen as an attractive destination for those seeking better job opportunities. It is not only educated people from Europe, affected by the tough economic situation, who see Brazil as an option; Brazilian authorities and economists recognize the economy’s need for highly skilled workers and increasingly tend to portray Brazil as “an island of prosperity in the world”. Despite the rising number of graduates in Brazil, the economy of the country is growing faster and it needs skilled people to sustain its growth. The Federal Public and Labor Ministries of Brazil are developing new policies to attract highly-educated employees to the country. They seek people who can bring skills, knowledge and technology to contribute to the booming process of the economy. Similar to the governmental policies, private investment, infrastructure and business development projects create the need for foreigners with specialized knowledge. Not least in the context of the preparations for the World Cup in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016, Brazil has declared a talent deficit and has opened different opportunities for professionals in the fields of engineering and business. As part of the plans to encourage economic growth in Brazil, the government has taken important steps in the field of investment in education and research. Around $2 billion was invested in the Science without Border…
disambiguating description: Since its foundation by Portuguese colonists, Brazil, the largest country in Latin America, has experienced an important immigrant flow. Over time, the Brazilian government has influenced this flow by implementing policies that support the needs of the economy. If during the first half of the 20th century governmental policies targeted low-skilled immigrants for work in the agricultural sector, in the last quarter of the century the government aimed to attract highly skilled immigrants to the country. The new trend was marked by the adoption of a new immigration law in 1981, which introduced new processes for visas and work permits and created a number of obstacles for low skilled migration.
