Dear collegues,
There is a new GAMS modeling PhD position at the University of Twente in the Netherlands.
This 4-year fully-funded PhD position is part of the ERC Starting Grant project “Scaling up behavior and autonomous adaptation for macro models of climate change damage assessment (SCALAR)”. The SCALAR-research program is made possible thanks to a 1.5 million euro personal grant from the European Research Council.
The successful candidate will work within the SCALAR research team to explore how various economic sectors in different countries are impacted by floods, how damage functions could be improved, and how individual climate change adaptation options can be integrated, given behavioral biases and economic feedbacks. During this 4-year long project, the PhD student will build up on the existing CGE models and flood damage assessments, and extend them further by introducing climate adaptation decisions of households and businesses by linking to the agent-based modeling. The latter will require alternative considerations and will be further supported by a programmer at the later stages of the project. We connect to the international efforts on economics of climate change adaptation to develop behaviorally-rich economic models with heterogeneous adaptive agents (University of Oxford, UK), assessments of costs and benefits of climate change adaptation (CMCC, Italy) and improve estimates of damage functions in climate-economy Integrated Assessment Models (BC3, Spain).
Regards,
Dr. Olga Ivanova
