• Analyzing the employment effects of the green transition and how they depend on workers’ skill sets, using large-scale administrative microdata on the Dutch labour market;
• Analyzing the relationship between the employment effects of the green transition and attitudes toward public policies and political preferences associated with the green transition at the regional level by combining administrative labour market data and survey data on political preferences;
• Setting up and conducting a discrete choice experiment to identify how economic, psychological and political factors affect support for the green transition.

 

Application deadline: 10 May 2026
