Una plaza de empleo por dos años.

El proyecto al que estaría ligada la plaza se llama Heterogeneous Firms General Equilibrium Model (HETFIGE). Este se centra en la modelización, estimación y calibración de modelos de equilibrio general con heterogeneidad de empresas, ya sean estáticos o dinámicos. Por lo tanto, el perfil que buscamos es alguien que sepa o de modelos teóricos (principalmente NTT, NNTT, NEG, NNEG, etc.) o que tenga una buena experiencia econométrica, preferiblemente trabajando con micro-datos de empresas, datos de comercio o datos regionales.

El proyecto se enmarca como un subproyecto de RHOMOLO y el nuevo investigador/a estará trabajando con todos los miembros del REMO team.
