Inequality, poverty and social justice are key issues in
the policy debate in many countries, with much renewed
interest over the last 1 1/2 decades, due to economic
internationalization, increased global competition, the
changing influence of labor market institutions and new
technologies. This workshop focuses on theoretical and
empirical research on inequality, poverty, and the labor
market. This includes: empirical research documenting
changes in inequality and poverty, and how this relates to
global trends; analysis of the determinants of inequality
and poverty and theoretical work on potential causes; the
inter-play between poverty and inequality on the one
hand, and institutions, anti-poverty policies,
technological change, and changing demands at the
workplace on the other. Further, there is an interest in
processes associated with (the causes of) poverty and
inequality, like unemployment and gender differences.

simulations.

Research:
- PhD research relevant to DNB's main fields of interest.
- Publishing in peer-reviewed high-quality international
journals.

results to policy makers and a broader audience in a
clear and non-technical fashion.
Modeling activities:
- Maintaining and developing (new) models for policy
analysis.
- Forecasting key economic variables and reporting the
results in memo's, articles and briefings to policy
makers and the public.
- Conducting model-based scenario analyses en macro-stress
tests (financial stability).
- Participating in national and international modeling
networks.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- Candidates have completed a Masters in economics or
econometrics with excellent grades.
- Candidates have a research plan for their PhD that is
accepted by the (envisaged) thesis supervisor.

being able to understand written and spoken Dutch). We
offer excellent training facilities.
- Team worker and result-oriented.

departments: Monetary policy, Economic policy and Research.
