[Stellenangebote] Postdoctoral/doctoral position in mechanism design for climate change mitigation and pandemic prevention, MCC-Berlin

[Lennart Stern]

Dear all,

At the research institute MCC-Berlin, we are looking for people with background in economics, mathematics, computer science, or related fields to join a growing team working on different aspects of an architecture for improving global public good provision that is outlined <https://drive.google.com/file/d/198O5X9dL06oRk9D4XBCaKs0OhVC2K4GN/view?usp=sharing> here<https://drive.google.com/file/d/198O5X9dL06oRk9D4XBCaKs0OhVC2K4GN/view>. The proposed architecture consists of two main components, reward funds incentivizing specific outcomes (e.g. low emissions) and policies (e.g. spending on certain types of disease surveillance) with positive global externalities and tax clubs that would generate funding for the reward funds. Our research agenda aims to develop optimized versions for reward funds and tax clubs and also for how they can best be combined. Several of these projects are sketched <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r6Uoh7l1RzQEQ5XutjC8pk26yeSHlQbeXIhHgqx9j-Q/edit?tab=t.0> here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r6Uoh7l1RzQEQ5XutjC8pk26yeSHlQbeXIhHgqx9j-Q/edit?tab=t.0>.
