Researchers have extensively studied each dimension: across products and quality within products. Yet, it is unclear how these two dimensions interact with each other.
The PhD position is embedded in the "Global Economics & Management" department of FEB's Research Institute. The project will be supervised by Konstantin M. Wacker and Tristan Kohl.
The PhD candidate should have a background (MSc, research master) in Economics or Econometrics, preferably with a specialization in international economics and/or development economics.
