Biele­feld Uni­ver­sity to­gether with Uni­ver­sity of Duisburg-​Essen suc­cess­fully ap­plied for a new Re­search Train­ing Group (RTG 2951)
'Cross-​border Labour Mar­kets: Transna­tional Mar­ket Mak­ers, In­fra­struc­tures, In­sti­tu­tions' funded by the DFG for 5 years
from April 1, 2024 on. The Re­search Train­ing Group is ac­cept­ing 22 doc­toral can­di­dates and one post-​doc within its
first fund­ing pe­riod. Some doc­toral can­di­dates be­come BiGSEM mem­bers.

Speaker: Prof. Dr. Ur­sula Mense-​Petermann (Biele­feld Uni­ver­sity)

Co-​Speaker: Prof. Karen Shire, Ph.D. (Uni­ver­sity of Duisburg-​Essen)

The IMW to­gether with the Fac­ulty of Busi­ness Ad­min­is­tra­tion and Eco­nom­ics ap­plied suc­cess­fully for a new Re­search Train­ing Group (RTG 2865) Cop­ing with Un­cer­tainty in Dy­namic Economies (CUDE) funded by the DFG for 5 years.
24 doc­toral can­di­dates in two co­horts will en­gage in de­vel­op­ing eco­nomic and math­e­mat­i­cal meth­ods to deal with un­cer­tainty. The first co­horts starts in fall 2023. All doc­toral can­di­dates be­come mem­bers of BiGSEM.
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Frank Riedel

The Fac­ulty of Busi­ness Ad­min­is­tra­tion and Eco­nom­ics at the Biele­feld Uni­ver­sity formed a re­search co­op­er­a­tion with the Uni­ver­sity of Old­en­burg and the Helmholtz-​Institute for Func­tional Ma­rine Bio­di­ver­sity at the Uni­ver­sity of Old­en­burg (HIFMB).
The co­op­er­a­tion starts in Jan­u­ary 2021 with the joint re­search project “Value of In­for­ma­tion” (VoI). This in­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary project com­bines the strengths of all par­ties and al­lows for a close col­lab­o­ra­tion and in­ter­ac­tion. Cen­tral to the project is the ques­tion of the value of (ad­di­tional) in­for­ma­tion and its con­se­quences for op­ti­mal decision-​making in the con­text of sus­tain­abil­ity, bio­di­ver­sity, and na­ture con­ser­va­tion poli­cies. The project is led by PD Dr. Thorsten Up­mann.

Many of the main chal­lenges Eu­rope cur­rently faces, like mit­i­gat­ing cli­mate change, fos­ter­ing a tran­si­tion to a low-​carbon econ­omy, or gov­ern­ing the de­vel­op­ment, dif­fu­sion of new tech­nolo­gies are dif­fi­cult to deal with be­cause of their dy­namic com­plex na­ture.

The In­no­v­a­tive Train­ing Net­work EPOC aims at ad­vanc­ing the state-​of-the-art and the ap­plic­a­bil­ity of com­pu­ta­tion­ally in­ten­sive meth­ods for de­ci­sion and pol­icy analy­sis in such com­plex and un­cer­tain en­vi­ron­ments. Par­tic­u­lar focus will be on the ap­pli­ca­tion of such meth­ods in the do­mains of cli­mate change and in­no­va­tion.

Ex­pec­ta­tions play a cru­cial role in Eco­nom­ics…

How will the stock mar­ket de­velop? Will I get a pay rise next year? When will the Cen­tral Bank change its in­ter­est rate poli­cies? Ex­pec­ta­tions in­flu­ence the be­hav­ior of many eco­nomic de­ci­sion mak­ers. The re­cent fi­nan­cial and eco­nomic cri­sis has high­lighted again the im­por­tance of ex­pec­ta­tion dy­nam­ics for eco­nomic de­vel­op­ment as well as for the suc­cess of firm strate­gies and pub­lic poli­cies. How­ever, many as­pects of the for­ma­tion and im­pli­ca­tion ex­pec­ta­tions in Eco­nom­ics are still not well un­der­stood. The In­no­v­a­tive Train­ing Net­work Ex­SIDE aims at im­prov­ing our un­der­stand­ing of the role of ex­pec­ta­tion for­ma­tion and so­cial in­flu­ence for eco­nomic dy­nam­ics and for the op­ti­mal de­sign of eco­nomic pol­icy.

EDEEM is a con­sor­tium com­posed of six Eu­ro­pean uni­ver­si­ties, namely Uni­ver­siteit van Am­s­ter­dam (The Nether­lands), Uni­ver­sität Biele­feld (Ger­many), Uni­ver­sité catholique de Lou­vain (Bel­gium), Uni­ver­si­dade Nova de Lis­boa (Por­tu­gal), Uni­ver­sité Paris 1 Panthéon-​Sorbonne (France) and Uni­ver­sità Ca’ Fos­cari Venezia (Italy). It of­fers doc­toral stu­dents a frame­work for a struc­tered study pro­gramme to­gether with the prepa­ra­tion of a doc­toral the­sis car­ried at two uni­ver­si­ties of the con­sor­tium. A suc­cess­ful com­ple­tion of the pro­gramme leads to a dou­ble re­spec­tively joint de­gree.
