In recent years, economic interdependence is increasingly perceived as a vulnerability factor rather than as a driver of geopolitical integration. Additionally, the use of economic coercion is becoming more common.
This PhD scholarship is dedicated to studying economic exposure to external shocks and dependency on foreign supplies. The topic can be analyzed at various levels of aggregation (economic system, specific industrial sectors, regions, value chains, individual companies) using a variety of methodological tools characterized by a strong empirical approach.
This line of research lies at the intersection of international economics, industrial economics, and quantitative analysis. The selected candidate will engage with a rapidly expanding scientific literature, will become proficient with a wide range of analytical tools, and will translate research results into guidelines that may be useful to policymakers and businesses.
The position is nested in the PhD programme in Economics and Finance, jointly offered by the University of Trento and the Free University of Bolzano/Bozen. The doctoral programme aims to train researchers with solid quantitative and theoretical skills capable of analysing economic and financial phenomena, and to contribute to the international scientific debate on topical issues of economics and finance. PhD candidates will be encouraged to use methodologies that reflect the state of the art and adopt a multidisciplinary approach.
