CALL OF INTEREST
POSITIONS AS RESEARCH FELLOW AT ITALIAN UNIVERSITIES:
University of Bologna, *Ca' Foscari University*, Free University of 
Bozen-Bolzano

Under the Italian PRIN Project entitled “Hi-di network econometric 
analysis of high dimensional models with network structures in 
macroeconomics and finance – PROT. 2017TA7TYC” funded by the Italian 
Ministry of Education, the Departments of Economics at the University of 
Bologna, the *Department of Economics of the Ca’ Foscari University of 
Venice* and the Faculty of Economics and Management at Free University 
of Bozen-Bolzano are opening a call of interest for three positions as 
Research Fellow (one position for each university). The positions will 
be funded by the project up to 24 months.

The research project covers the following topics:

*(i) Development of novel multivariate econometric models and methods 
able to deal with network effects and to take into account time varying 
relationships. Attention will be paid on how latent factors drive 
economic systems and are subject to instability. Their roles will be 
studied and compared in the pre- and post-coronavirus era.**
*
*(ii) Analysis of interconnected networks: either physical or intangible 
networks, observed or estimated. Results will expand academic knowledge 
on statistical modelling of network event data in a broad range of areas 
including, but not limited to, social media information diffusion, 
economic/financial crises contagion and epidemic/disease spread 
phaenomena.**
*
(iii) Economic impact of uncertainty: uncertainty is expected to act as 
a key driving factor in the aftermath of the covid-19 shock and the 
focus will be also on the policy actions necessary at the macro level to 
offset the economic consequences of a shock of size never experienced by 
world economies after WW2.

Interested researchers can express their willingness to apply not later 
than 31st May 2020. Applications should include the CV of the candidate 
a short research proposal related to the topics covered by the project, 
and the indication of the University where the research activity will be 
carried out.
