In your role as a PhD Student Research Assistant trainee, you will support the ECB’s new Research Task Force on Heterogeneity in Macroeconomics and Finance. The task force has been set up to help further our understanding of (i) how heterogeneity across households, firms and banks shapes the transmission of policy measures; and (ii) the uneven effects that policy measures have on different groups of economic agents. You will work closely with your colleagues in the Directorate General Research and also with economists in the Directorate General Economics and the Directorate General Monetary Policy.
As a PhD Student Research Assistant trainee, you will:
develop mathematical, statistical and econometric procedures for research projects;
support and maintain software tools and hardware installations;
present data and results in conjunction with basic economic and statistical analysis.
