ERC grants
The project develops foundational tools in the organizational economics, given the uncertainty shrouding even the most promising research projects, information plays a key role in the organization of science.
The over-arching goal of this ERC Starting grant is to study the extremely important phenomena that link education and governments' policies through the lenses of quantitative economic history.
Why are populist parties more successful in some places (or times) compared to others? What makes right or left populism more prominent in some countries (or after certain crises)? This ERC Starting grant tackles these questions with the tools of behavioral political economy.
This ERC Advanced grant aims at explaining behavioral phenomena linked to the diffusion of nationalism and of political populism, trying to explain why it is so difficult to achieve further European political integration.
This ERC Starting grant proposes to provide new empirical evidence on the search strategies of both job seekers and of recruiters in the labor market. This evidence will enhance our understanding of the information asymmetries at the root of search frictions.
An ERC strating grant aimed at advancing the frontier of our understanding of the roles of corruption and reputation in procurement.
The aim of this ERC Advance grant is to improve our understanding of the relationship between aspirations and socio-economic outcomes of disadvantaged individuals, in order to answer the question: Can we design policy interventions that shift aspirations in a way that is conducive to development?
This project contributes to this literature by studying the invention and development of marine insurance contracts in medieval Italy and their subsequent spread all over Europe.
The main objective of this ERC Starting grant is to introduce and investigate novel methodologies and procedures for BNP inference
This ERC Consolidator grant addressed two neglected elements in the existing literature: the role of political parties as organizational structures that shape political careers (i.e., who gets on top in democracies); and the nature of social preferences, personality traits, and cognitive biases in understanding the beliefs and the choices of both politicians and voters.
From 2008, 18 IGIER fellows have been awarded the European Research Council (ERC) Starting, Consolidator or Advanced research grants. With this achievement, Bocconi belongs to the group of top institutions in Europe for the number of scholars, who have been awarded ERC grants in the SH1 panel (Economics, Finance, and Management).
The main goal of the ERC is to encourage high quality research in Europe through competitive funding. Every year about 8-10 percent of submitted proposals get funded in the SH1 panel. Click here for statistics and the list of all ERC grants' recipients.
