PhD scholarships in Economics at Copenhagen business school

[Luigi Butera]

Dear colleagues, 

I wanted to share that the department of Economics at Copenhagen Business School is opening PhD scholarships positions. If you have talented students, please share the link below with them! There will be an information meeting on February 3rd 2026, and the deadline for applications is February 27th 2026. 

Let me just highlight some comparative advantages of doing a PhD at CBS for someone who wants to do research in applied/behavioral/experimental economics: 

1. Access to Danish administrative data. This means unparalleled access to individual and firm level data that is typically very hard to get. 

2. Possibility to merge your own survey/experimental data (including field experiments) with administrative data. 

3. A  vibrant ecosystem of grant awarding institutions and foundations to fund your research, research stays, etc. 

Thanks! 

Best, 

Luigi
