Work description:
All positions are linked to the interdisciplinary EU-research project "Advanced-Eval", which develops and applies advanced methods for the ex ante und ex post evaluation of EU-rural development policy programs. At the methodological and theoretical level the following research topics are of interest within the project:

1. Agent-based Modeling of rural economy as a complex social and economic system incorporating social network relations among agents. In particular, the following research questions are addressed: How can the organization of economic action in social network relations be modeled quantitatively. What is the impact of social network relations on economic performance at the micro- and macro-level.

2. Applied Econometrics. Application of propensity-score matching methods and methods of spatial econometrics to analyze ex post the economic impact of various rural development programs.

3. Political Economy Modeling of EU-Rural Development Policy (EU-RD policy). Quantitative analysis of the impact of formal and informal political institutions on local government performance regarding the implementation of EU-RD policy. Empirical hypotheses are derived from game-theoretical or agent-based models of political decision making.

4. Simulation of an Economic-Ecological System based on a Multi-Agent-model. Incorporation of RD-policies into an economic decision-making model of farmers and a model of implied biological and physical processes at the regional level.

Researchers are directly integrated into a international and interdisciplinary research team within the EU-Project Advanced-eval. Moreover, all positions have access and are related to the
Interdisciplinary Center of Numeric Simulation in applied Sciences as well as the DFG-Graduate School „Loosely connected systems and Electronic E-Business“ at the CAU.
