PhD Fellowship in Regional Economics at the Department of Border Region Studies, Denmark

The fellowship is part of the development plan for the new group in Regional Economics. Research covered by the group includes 1) localisation of economic activities and the implications for regional development, 2) the importance of labour markets and human capital for the spatial economic development, 3) convergence and divergence of different geographies and the economic development of regions, 4) public finances and services and the economic importance in different geographies and 5) economic integration between different geographies. Due to the department focus on border regions, these types of regions have particular interest for research group. The research in the group is theoretical as well as empirical. The fellowship is awarded to a project with a strong focus on topics in Regional Economics using quantitative or mathematical modelling. This may both take the form of econometric models or theoretical mathematical models.
