Research Activity
“Trade, Reallocation, and Productivity during the Great Recession”
Based on the SIR project RBSI14JAFW TRAPduringGRE (Trade, Reallocation, and Productivity during
the Great Recession), the research activity will study reallocation processes both across and within firms.
In particular, the analysis aims to investigate the relationship between productivity and firm growth, as
measured both by employment growth and sales growth, following the hypothesis that this relationship
depends both on the business cycle and on the firm export status. Moreover, the analysis will investigate
also the way in which exporters reacted to the Great Recession shock, taking into account the role of
geographical and product diversification. Competencies in econometric tools and economic analysis are
required.
Admission Requirements
Applicants must hold a MSc Degree and a very good knowledge of both written and spoken English
(Common European Framework (CEF) level C1).
