[beasiswa] [INFO] PhD Position in Applied Microeconomics

PhD Position in Applied Microeconomics

Trinity College Dublin (Ireland)

This project analyses the impact of recent policy changes on various
aspects relating to the agri-food sectors in Ireland and other EU
countries focussing in particular on Denmark and the Netherlands. Using
the Irish National Farm Survey a micro approach is taken that allows
specific research questions relating to: 1) productivity and
competitiveness; 2) the changing structure of production systems in
terms of farm numbers, the role of economies of scale, specialisation
and system switching; and 3) the wider rural community to be addressed.
The availability of a comparable survey for Denmark and the Netherlands
presents a unique opportunity for the Irish experience to be compared to
that of similar regions of Europe facing the same set of constraints but
with significantly different sectors in terms of structure, organisation
and the role of government supports This study will provide valuable
lessons for policy by deepening our understanding of the important
issues facing the agri-food sector in Ireland at the micro level and
observing how the Irish experience compares to that of similar European
regions. The project will also explore alternative uses for land
post-decupling focussing in particular on opportunities in relation to
organic farming and alternative energy sources drawing on the successes
of the Danish experience.

The PhD student will be based at the Department of Economics, Trinity
College Dublin. The student will spend some time at the Kent Business
School in the UK and at the University of Wageningen in the Netherlands
working with leading economists on farm survey data and project related
modelling issues.

Requirements: • MSc degree or equivalent in Economics • An interest in
applied microeconomics in particular agricultural or environmental
economics • Excellent quantitative skills (i.e. econometric modelling).

Stipend: €16,000 p.a. plus tuition fees

Duration of the contract: 3 years beginning April 1st, 2008
